Congratulations David,

Any of those "raised-plate" Hampdens especially the two-tones are very special movements.
Thanks for sharing it with us!

About 1,000 Grade 107 D Star(in flag) were made.

Because the watches were thicker than other 16 size it is almost impossible to find a replacement cae today.

Nice find
