A rainy day lead to a shopping excursion the next town over...

They have a TJ...

I saw the Gevril and it was a steal.

I don't know much about it other than it appears to be a 1st generation Gevril. May be one of our experts can shed some more light on this watch.

Not sure it is my cup of tea, but it is a damn nice watch.

Out to dinner with my Pops for his burthday so out of time.

Yea that is a good score there just for the name for one thing. And that dial is one of the most popular with Gevril. I've seen it in a different color and thought about it myself. Parent company to GV2.

That is one to have as they say for the bragging rights. Gevril is some where in the top 10 oldest watch companies out there.

Congrats on the pickup there. ;)

Congrats Mark on a Awesome Gevril!....this particular model is made from 1st gen. parts that Sam Friedman owner of Gevril found and put to use...I have a silver dial and they are sweet...all hand made/guilochet dials,custom cases hand6.gif The true 1st gens can be identified by a red rectangular block found between the III and the chapter ringwatch2.gif

Here is a borrowed pic of the 1st gen. Gevril with the block at III which Cris S here at 3T has hand6.gif The one's we have are identical less the red block watch2.gifThe local AD is getting $1495. for them and TT just got our's back at SAH for $699.....
so at anything lower is a steal for a fine 100% Swiss Gevril cool10.gif

Thanks for the info and kind words. My folks really liked the look of this one... I told them the story over my Dad's birthday cake... But they are pushing 70!! I know it is a sweet and beautiful watch, but I am not sure if it is one I am going to wear much and that is a shame.

I'm gonna see how it grows on me... photgraph it lovingly and debate if it should go on the block...
