This one hurts, this is a very special watch, but they all have to go and it's this one's turn. Exclusive movement, five day power reserve, limited edition of 60 (#33), full box and papers. This watch has presence - 54x40, but because it is curved it is unbelievably comfortable.

Dial has cotes du jura decoration with raised steel details. Retrograde date at 1:30, retrograde power reserve at 4:30. Skeletonised detail at 9:00 to show escapement beneath. Display back showing more cotes du jura decoration on the 34 jewel movement and filler plates. Power reserve is achieved through twin barrels, both decorated with the Louis Moinet logo.

It breaks my heart that the market discounts it simply because it's a boutique brand, so no low ball offers please, price is US$3,000 net to me and if you can't see the value that presents then I guess this watch isn't for you :-)

I honestly thought you'd keep this one Roff. :|

There was a time when I'd have torn your arm off for this particular piece at a price like that, but unfortunately my "watch fund" is already spoken for.

Folks - this is a truly fantastic watch and I can't recommend it enough. Someone is going to be extremely lucky.

Thank you sir. Yeah, tempted to keep it, but can't justify it. PloProf left last week as well :-(

Bump, I'll listen to offers but don't wait for a price reduction on this one - it's a steal at this price.

No one interested in this classic? May say more about the state of BreitlingSource than anything else :-(

Seems an appropriate time to bump, must look even more reasonably priced after the last couple of days of activity here!
