I'm way too excited to wait 'till I got it, so here are the seller's pics :)

Once I've gotten the watch, I'll post my own pics :) (and describe any "surprises")

(hmmm... different hour hand?)

Great catch! The watch looks in pristine conditions too! We look forward to see it too! I'm waiting for a watch I've bought recently, I think I'll make a thread too.
IMHO, this version looks very elegant, especially with the leather band. Compared to the rectangular counterpart, it looks less chunky on the wrist. I love it!

nice watch, just a bit pricey.

[dutchsiberia]

Yeah, especially for a Dutchman
But I got a nice deal, it seems, after looking at some more auctions :)
The hands look okay anyway, after looking closer to a picture.

[Kasper]

its the same style as the new Junghans watches

[dutchsiberia]

Well it's here :) It's working great, the biggest problem with it is the missing lume from the hour hand. (I really don't care)

I'm very glad the watch arrived! Lookin' forward for the photos and the traditional wristshot!

I'm still waiting for my P2 instead I hope it'll arrive soon, I can't wait anymore!

From France, old stock, kept with batteries for a long time unfortunately



895 French francs in 1977!





Two :)



wristshot of the working one

[Kasper]

nice...so now you know the original band btw does the second one work?

[dutchsiberia]

I'll have to investigate the total damage, but there is some battery corrosion visible.

You've been lucky at getting that other one! Fingers crossed for you, hopefully it might come back to life (I hope the module hasn't been deeply damaged by the leak), and that'd be great!

[dutchsiberia]

The movement looks undamaged, circuit has no corrosion. Still a dead module. The circuitboard with the crystal has been sealed at the underside with silicone stuff, so it might take some time to replace the crystal, to see it that's the problem. The housing of the crystal looks dented? Ah well, I've still got the other one :)

[dutchsiberia]

I got a working one in a ratty case :) I only had to replace the broken button spring for one from my dead module.


Oh yeah :)
