This was being advertised by a seller on Chrono24 ... It's currently up for a few quid over £1,600 ... A lovely piece, but can you tell what it is?



All 5 photos were of similar 'quality' hehe

Name the manufacturer (model for bonus points) if you can!

On that note, what is the most expensive watch you've seen advertised with what can only be described as 'bloody awful' photos? Any pics as evidence are welcome! thumbup

Revue Thommen. Airspeed, but thought that had numerals not batons.

Or did you mean he was selling the hinge?

It is a mighty fine hinge - How he managed to get the camera to focus on that, I don't know! hehe

It's not a Revue Thommen - A bit more mainstream smile

Oh. I thought the writing/logo looked like it as did the hands!

Wow. I didn't think the hands would be chrome ones and reflecting a dark ceiling but it's obvious as the photo is that bad.

A few months back there were 3 watches (I think) advertised on TZ in a single advert, there was a single shot of each watch and all three photos were bloody awful. Can't remember what they were, one of them may have been a Greubel Forsey, total value of the watches on offer was a rather large 6 figure sum.
There was some debate as to if the advert was cosher, I'll post a link if I can find it.
