Here's a little something you don't see every day that crossed my path and I got to video review. Its a Presage dress watch from 1991 with a unique Perpetual calendar + double alarm movement and the 'Dancing hands' setting. The video will be up soon on YouTube (will update this later on).
The watch has the ability to show the correct day for any date between January 1st 1400 and December 31 2499 (!) with a special calendar search feature. There's a single alarm setting for any time and date and a repeated alarm setting for a single time of the day. All functions work as they should and I've set the date correctly (not an easy feat). It is magnetic proof till 60 Gauss, there's a magnetic shield around the movement inside the case. Brand new quality battery just in. All functions tested and working correctly.

Dimensions are: width 37mm, width incl crown 41mm, height 10mm, lug2lug 43mm, between lugs 17mm.
Watch wears surprisingly large due to shape and color of the dial.
Condition is as follows:
Case: near perfect, beadblasted finish
Bezel: perfect, please notice that the bezel does not rotate, its stationary and the I to XII markings refer to the months of the year, for use with the perpetual calendar
Dial and hands: perfect, its a dress watch so no lume. Build quality is exceptional, the dial has a discreet sparkling appearance, half of each hand is blued and half is painted gold. Nice cabochon on the crown. Retro pushers.
Crystal: perfect.
Movement: 6M14 works as it should, keeps excellent time, new quality battery fitted, all functions operational.
Bracelet: very good condition, few hairlines on some links and on the clasp. Solid end links, very rare for the time. Fits my 18.5cm (7,25'') wrist with one microadjustment in the clasp to spare. No additional bracelet links unfortunately.
No box/papers, will ship out in a generic box with a manual printout that I found online.
Overall, a unique watch, in excellent cosmetic and working condition, highly collectible.
Price is $400 and includes registered priority airmail to your Paypal address. Watch is in Europe, Greece, shipping internationally. Expedited shipping with DHL (2 business days worldwide) available at a small surcharge.
