Thx for guidance
Thank you everyone for your input. I was guided to an independent watchmaker in a city I travel to frequently by a JLC AD.

Sounds like..
either the old Rendez-vous or the Seductrice. The former was VERY popular in the '90s but had a weird "press-the-crown" setting. If you PM me I'll suggest someone very good in the States. Re the MUTPC, I'd GO FOR IT, and the service on the newer JLCs is p...
I owned a similar mans, Heraion 1990's
I think they are extremely undervalued, they are not ugly as many find them, just out of fashion at the moment! kinda miss it... The "white out" logo is very "tool watch"-cool [URL=] [/URL] [URL=] [/URL] ...
