Nice looking movement. But I wonder when mankind is going to learn how to use screwdrivers properly?

Not only nice but EXCEPTIONALLY rare Getty Grade 187 (unmarked) 6 position adjusted, Lever set, 1 of 1500 EVER made. This UNMARKED example is TOO RARE to be mentioned in the Price Guide.

I am guessing $400.00 in a good "original" case.

Thanks David. I did notice the screwdriver slips that some one did on this movement. But I picked it up for $234. well worth overlooking the screwdriver scratches. I own about 3 or 4 of these 187 Gettys.

Here's the one I promised to show you Gene, you'll notice the "187" marking. Looks like between us we have an interesting progression of grade 187 markings. This is 2280359 from a run of 100 during 1910 production. Wink
