Fabrizio, if you were in Monte Carlo, you would be a rich man indeed! You have a very rare Grade 166 RR watch. A total of 4011 were made and yours was in the #3 Production of 6565001 - 6566000. When I first saw your picture post of the movment with the beautiful engraving and lettering, I smacked my lips and said Ciao Bella! | |||

Fabrizio, I have left my heart in Italy more than a few times! But this time I was referring to the watch. The "ofn5p" is Open Face (of), Nickel (n), Adjusted to 5 Positions (5P). | |||

Actually, ofn5p goes like this o Open Face f Full plate n nickel damaskeening 5 model 5 p Pendant set It is adjusted, but there is no indication of how many positions. Take a look here and you can see the codes. http://elginwatches.org/databases/watch_codes.html Elgins are MY watch, just love em, and your friends is really nice! Sheila | ||||

I had a friend tip me off to a BIN on ebay for $79 for a grade 166 but even one better it was a BWR marked grade 166. The plates almost look frosted | ||||
