Dear All,
I wanted to show all of you my recent flea market find. It is A Favre Leuba Harpoon with the FL 1153 cal. movement. The watch is a non-runner though the movement looks clean. The case is Gold plated and has worn off in a few places but still looks pretty neat. The crown however is very worn out and will need replacement. It was got for $ 38/- only. I was wondering if anyone had an opinion on the dial. Is it original? I was a little worried about the swiss made text at the bottom. I was hoping it was a 36000 beat cal., but alas it is not.
This watch is in queue for a restoration.
All comments welcome. Thanks for looking.
Regards,
JaRe
