I initially wanted a tourb. but when I saw the pics of the watches at Basal I called my AD and told him I wanted the Fer. 24. I just love the vintage look. The movement to my understanding was made by Minerva in the 1940's. They were refurbished and then used. I was told by several in the know that the movement alone is worth the price of the watch. They initially were not sure they could get it for me but since I purchased 30+ pams in the last year they made a few calls and a year later here it is. The irony is i still cant get a 292. Oh well go figure.
