I purchased this watch new from Debaufre back in Jan 2010. I really like it but I can't get past the fact that it doesn't even have at least a date complication. Of course, I knew what I was getting when I bought it but it just doesn't fit my needs right now. Although it is a stunning dial.

I rate the watch at about 92% only because I have worn it (around the house only) and I had to punch 3 new holes in the stock strap to get it to fit my wrist (see pics). Otherwise, it is completely scratch/ding free from what I can see. It comes with all papers, inner and outer box along with the strap changing tool. It comes with an extra set of lug bars minus one screw. I lost one of the original screws be/c I didn't tighten it enough so I purchased a new set. I only really needed the one screw so there are 3 extra screws and 2 extra lug bars. It keeps time at about 20 seconds slow per day. I say approximate be/c I have never worn it for a full day. Sitting face up in my watch box it is a little faster.

Details from Debaufre's website:

Black Stainless Steel Case

I am asking $350 and that includes shipping to anywhere in the CONUS. I accept PayPal only and I absorb the fees. I ship USPS with signature confirmation and insurance.

Thanks for Looking.

I apologize for the less than stellar pics. Photography is not my forte.
