**** M.F.S.I.I.T.W.I - Round six ****

Good lord! That's the moderately legendary Peseux 7001 with a handful of extra jewels, decorative and functional finishing and shock protected jewels on the third, fourth and escape wheel. That must have cost a fortune as a very posh dress watch pack in the day! Mind you, if you want it in a Stowa Antea today it will set you back a grand or more, while the Nomos and even Omega (Cal.651) seem to be holding their value well! On the other hand, the Blancpain 7002 (Cal .64-1) chronometer seems to be positively overpriced these days! (It's probably the effort they made to disguise the movement by shaping the bridges just so... ) Of course, yours has a higher spec than any of theirs. Blued screws, ultra fine finishing and rhodium plating look nice, but a jewelled going train is definitely the trump card.

I'm not joking about the Omega:

Or Nomos:

(which gives you an idea about just how neat a little movement this is).

That was much easier than I expected!

More to the point, I'll be taking Juvenia far more seriously from now onwards.
