Without seeming like I'm dumping on your ad, the guru in question was the seller of the watch - hence not entirely independent. I saw the ad on eBay a few months back and personally I wasn't convinced.
: Hello,
: I'm selling a Vintage 1960's GALLET MultiChron 12H Black Gilt Dial
: Valjoux 72 Chronograph reference 5193 with Extremely Rare
: "Compass" Hands in amazing condition.
: Please note, this is not your run-of-the-mill MultiChron 12H and is
: an exceedingly rare version of the 12H that doesn't pop up
: often.
: Thanks to some research from a reputable Gallet guru, it turns out
: there were 3 versions of this MultiChron 12H watch that Gallet
: produced during the 60's and 70's. The most commonly seen
: "baton" hands were used and produced for sports,
: racing and general production use. The second type were
: "broad arrow" hands very similar to those found on the
: original 2915 Omega Speedmaster watches. These watches were
: intended for aviation purposes. Finally third, and most rare,
: are these "compass" hands which were only produced via
: special order on the 12H, and were intended for medical and
: geological study. The exact number of these pieces produced
: during the 60's is unknown, but it has been confirmed they were
: not part of the original production series, and they are hardly
: ever seen.
: Model: MultiChron 12H "Waterproof", reference 5193
: Condition: The watch is in great overall condition and is
: completely original . Absolutely no refinishing has been done on
: This piece. The watch does still have the original lume, however
: it does show its age. The case appears to have been polished
: throughout its life, but it is honest. This watch runs
: beautifully, keeps excellent time, and was just recently
: serviced less than 6 months ago. This is a truly special watch
: and one that belongs in the hands of a true Gallet or vintage
: collector.
: Movement: Valjoux 72
: Come with the following: Brown Genuine Leather Strap
: Price: $3500 obo. I am open to offers on it, but please be
: reasonable, this is a very rare piece.

: Price is NET to me via PayPal, including shipping.
