FS: Girard Perreggaux "Cricket" Alarm Watch

Excellent condition (ALL ORIGINAL) GP alarm watch (cricket style sound) gold filled.

Case - 35mm gold filled with original stainless steel case back and dust cover inside. Steel was used to enhance the sound of the alarm. Worn in some places, but NOT polished. Has a slight aged gold patina.
Dial - original flawless silver color with vertical texturing. All lume dots present and hour markers flawless.
Crystal - original but with slight brush scratches in upper right - easily polished out, but will leave it to you. Nothing deep see in photos.
Hands - original and excellent condition with one tiny pin hole size spot missing in the minute hand lume. Otherwise flawless with no corrision.
Alarm - number wheel flawless with no patina. Buzzer loud and long. Works well.
Crowns - both original with the "A" on the alarm winder.
Movement - Caliber 1475 modified Adolph Schild who also made movements for Jaeger. Keeps excellent time (mild service last year even though it didn't need one). Smooth winding on both springs (alarm and movement).

All around great vintage watch asking $950 USD or best offer. Bargain compared to Jaeger's and Vulcain's and under appreciated in my opinion. Hard to find vintage that has potential upside these days. Ask any questions, have more pictures. Free shipping insured worldwide.

Thanks for looking.
