If they can't find a case, they will sell you a fake dial and movement - LOL!

35 bidder suckers so far and the seller from Ur-a-gray had 100% feedback!

What a way to ruin an uncommon movement.

Roff - I actually have a complete chrono with this modified Venus cal 210 movement (do not recall the name on the dial) in my collection. They are very rare - I have only seen about 3 of them on ebay in the past 12 years and they are not listed in the Bestfit book. I'll get it out of the safe sometime and post some pics. Craig

Yeah, it's just not a movement that comes up - would love to know what this started out as.

It's the "missing parts" that makes this a sucker's bet. We could all confidently bet that they would have finished the piece if they could.

Intriguing... Ive never seen a big date function on such a vintage piece before. God I love this forum.
