Latest Watch Save

[JimDon]

I saw this watch on eBay and bid on it an won. I am a big collector of Vulcain watches and when I saw this when I just had to have it. In several years of collecting I have never seen this watch or one like it for sale. It is an extremely rare model and I absolutely love it. I just put a new crystal in last night. Groovy cool UFO case with diamond tipped accented hour and minute hands and a red lollipop second hand.
Here is the after picture.

That is a cool looking watch.

That is a cool looking watch.

The funny thing is based on the pictures I was expecting a stainless steel model. When I opened the box i was surprised to see it was gold plated.

Very nice. What year was it made and did you do the crystal replacement yourself?

I am not figured it out yet. It's going to be late 60s early 70s. Yes I did the Crystal replacement myself. A bought a large collection of crystals a few months ago and fortunately found one that fit.

Post this on Watchuseek someone there ought to know more! Awesome watch though, can't believe it went for so low.

Me too! Apparently it was sold previously for $150 but the person never paid for it so it was relisted. I am so thrilled that they didn't pay!
