At last I've acquired one without breaking the bank (about $350 equivalent), blue dial, narrow backplate, Zodiac chapter ring.
It's not perfect but good value for money. The dome appears to be original with only a slight nibble or two, someone has stripped the cream lacquer off the base and pillars and wire-wooled some of the base, there is a long thin scratch on the globe, and the base is fractured on the thin bit by one of the adjustable feet, only a couple of millimetere size blemishes on the dial. The movement is dirty and the torsion spring twisted. These are all repairable without too much hassle.
A lot of people rate these as the best ever anniversary clock. I have mixed feelings. Some of my earlier clocks, although less sophisticated are made to a higher quality.
What do you think?
