re: perpetual calendar grand complication watches

hey j --

... for reasons I can't really explain, and for which there is no rational purpose (as I don't wear a watch, as I don't have to... just as I've never owned an 'ever accessible' cell phone)

... I've developed a rabid interest in researching vintage watches...

I recently purchased this all-original, pristine 1943-45 solid 18k Universal Geneve Chronograph, which is not presently functioning, for little more than the price of its Au - in hopes of repairing it for its collector's value of perhaps 5-6 times its present specie content...



This little, spartan '38 Longines, however, is the favorite of my growing collection -- nearly compelling me to wear it!



I rationalize that it's better to hold anything tangible and relatively rare than fiat confetti...
