Sold this vintage Favre-Leuba last night...

Just "sharing"...

This nice Swiss Favre-Leuba of mine sold last night following 38 bids. It's a "Twin Power" model, referencing its in-house dual-barrel
main spring movement, offering 44 hours of power reserve - - not bad for 45 years ago.

Congrats!

How much? That is one helluva watch!

Tom, it looked great! You really know how to "clean up" a watch. I predict you are flipping to score another grail. You have the 125, Rollie GMT next?

That would be sweet, but I have a LONG way to go before I could afford one of those.

Yowza Tom ! ..What a STUNNER, and 38 bids TOO ! That's FANTASTIC sir !!!
Someone won a beautiful watch there. ..Congratulations to you, and thanks for
telling us about all of this, as well as showing some extra NICE pictures also.

WTG Tom! The watch is in great shape.

Please can any one tell me what sort of watch this is? It has been the house ever since I can remember. My mum told me that my uncle gave it to my dad but that someone else gave it to my uncle, so I have no idea of the age, except that it's pre-1970s...

Another cool one Tom. Even the ones you get rid of are killer!
