Actually, Import S59G according to the 1931 supplement. Posting this one picture for posterity, since you may not see this model again anytime soon. Theoretically, I won it at auction, but it appears that my relatively lowball bid was not properly recorded, so it actually sold for even less. Ugh. I'm harassing the auction house, but not expecting any results.

Hope it is resolved to your favor. That is a nice watch.

All I know is based on hard work & writing by others. I can only aspire to augment this body of knowledge. If I am wrong it is because of my own failings. -me

That sucks, John! Not the watch...It's a great looking example!

No kidding! I like how the crown is flush with the case.

Apparently there's a bidder approval process that I didn't meet for some reason or another. If it was something I needed, I'd have got it.

Well... no tears then... We'll likely see it washed along the shores of the bay soon. Rolling Eyes

For a much greater price.

You're probably right. And I hope so. I won't be nabbing it as a bottom feeder next time around, but it would be nice to at least get some better pictures of a rare bird.
