Was in a Orlando Watch Co. on Saturday in Winter Park, Fl. and the owner Scott pulls out from the back one of the finest Duograph you will come across ever if you are lucky enough that is. Was purchased from the grandson of the original owner who had dropped it years ago and it stopped working and put it in his safe deposit box. Scott bought it on the gamble he could get it running and was able to.
This Duograph looks absolutely unbelievable and runs like Day 1. The sharpest case edges you will find on a 65+ year old watch. Like it has never been worn. Asking price is $9500. It is not advertised for sale at the moment and you won't see it on Ebay. Google if you are interested. This is a special piece.

It must be noted that I was handling this baby like it was a new born child. Scott, the owner is one fantastic guy and a true gentleman. He let me play to my hearts content with this watch to show just how truly well built it really is.
When my wife and I left, I told her I am never going to have a chance at one like this again. She said your right. You want it just go get some of your other watches and trade him. That was soooo wrong!!!!

beautiful piece, Wayne, had overlooked this as I am vacationing in the Internet stone age.
"my" Duograph (after my currently overextended watchfunds are a bit healthier) would be an 18k piece, but this is very nice and the price seems in the realistic range.

Yes Fred, agree with the price. This is in the affordable range for sure and will only increase in value. Now that 18k model..... WOW!!!!
