recent arrival, another Premier case I had seen in catalogs and rare pics only. the ref. 782 case has nice and heavy, elegant lugs, dial is golden, new for me too. came in it's original box, something I had been hunting for a long time but shied away due to the crazy prices they reached in auctions. have not popped it open yet, will add movement shots soon.

A beauty Fred, congrats. Is the same year as my 785, what's the serial? Movement pics will be great, what movement? |

There was quite a few of us bidding on that one Fred. I was really only interested because of the box. I've always liked a box with the watch if possible. I've had a few of these boxes over the years. The last couple sold on ebay for over $300 if I remember correctly. Nice catch!

What a beauty! Very nice and with a box. With the Premier of this age, is the crown signed? I am still learning to know when a watch is complete. thanks, |
