Welcome.

That's very nice. Its not cheap to have a case re-chromed - but you've ended up with a very handsome watch indeed.:-!

Proudly wearing Enicar AR 167 that took months to fix. This is the 2nd AR-167 I own. It was in non running condition. The dial is just too beautiful, I had to save it. The procedure involved two donor movements, with mainspring and automatic mechanism transplants. A fresh reflector ring crystal was also ordered. After I set the time and date, it's been running spot on during the past 12 hours.

Although in hindsight, a NOS would probably be cheaper, but fixing an AR 167 was a priceless experience. As we know it's the base movement for many of Chronoswiss models. And I ended up with all these spare parts. Here we honor those that had to be sacrificed:

Nice set of pictures. A unique watch often deserves more angles/ story.

This is the first time I've seen a Marcel & Cie watch anywhere. Mine says hello:
Hello back! Yes not too many marcel & Cie going round. There's usually a couple going on the bay all the time (i keep looking since i found this one!), but normally less than 10 at any one time i reckon. Mine is triple signed made in France which i thought was a bit unique, even on the movement which is a landeron 149 (if memory serves me correctly) which are obviously made in Switzerland, not France!
Your's is beautiful by the way, look absolutely pristine from the photo. Great find!

A couple of estate sale rescue projects back from my watchmaker - a Rolex 3116 from 1937 and a Omega Seamaster Cal 562 from 1961

Rolex 'VICEROY' also termed 'plage' (French for beach)
It was Rolex's first move from round shape to a straight line/angular shape
