• Upcoming updates
    Over the next couple of weeks we will be performing software updates on the forum. These will be completed in small steps as we upgrade individual software addons. You might occasionally see a maintenance message that will last a few minutes at most.

    If we anticipate an update will take more than a few minutes, we'll put up a notice with estimated time.

    Thank you!

I am bidding on an Ultra-chron cal 431. The case dial side looks exactly correct but the back is plane. It looks like a front loader there is not wrench ring on the back. Is this the case design of the 18K GF case? I know the SS models were front loaders.

I received the watch and returned it. The movement was a 341 not a 431. The next move may be to reevaluate the watch. Complete...Watches puts this watch at $125 for average condition. The one feature that is attractive is the date at 6. The watch is a nice looking SS model about 1962 and needs some work and a new crystal.
