: Based in part on the thoughts of some members of our community,
: I have decided to buy this one.

: I am fairly certain that this one is "put together", the
: marraige of a 28,800 VPH movement with a Siffert dial and hands
: (in a 268xxx case), but it is still interesting to me and worth
: owning. I believe that my strategy will be to make a
: "special" out of it, putting this "special"
: movement with an appropriate dial and hands and enjoying the
: watch. Then, when I find the spare Cal 12 movement, I will have
: a "Siffert" for sale, which might finance this
: project.

: In the end, it is the excitement of seeing one of our beloved Cal
: 11 movements beating at 28,800 vph that motivates this purchase
: . . . I can't wait to see the chrono second hand moving so
: smoothly around the dial, just like on the rival Zeniths!!

: Thanks to everyone for the thoughts, analysis and encouragement!!

Great decision Jeff !

FREE... yes free of fear at certain points in life, why not !? Can it get any better ?... You will for sure enjoy listening to this movement and as you say, you also have a Siffert to complete for not a truly crazy price...

As Victor Hugo said in "Les Miserables"... "To die is nothing; but it is terrible not to live."... so enjoy, enjoy this small unusual things.

Cheers
