Thanks for the clarification Mark and the additional information. As I said, I always found these attractive but confusing. This forum is a great resource.
I too have been a fan of the 3227,especially the AMG version, but was under the impression that several different calibers (IWC,ETA and JLC) were used in that reference during it's life. Am I mistaken?
Thanks for the update on this very interesting new technology. Too bad that the accessibility is so limited at this point. I was wondering if the decoupling stem /crown are similar to what Vostok uses on their movement design for isolating the movement from the case?
Interesting place to shop in those days. I spent my time over at the rug bazar area in west Kabul in those days. If I'd known there was anything this special on Chicken St. I'd have gone there. There was the occasional fragging there too. Thanks for sharing an special piece .
