Hi All
I find this one interesting as I have not seen a Fortune Hunter case before. Are these a uncommon item. All information welcome.

Keith KlimkowiczCase inside
This lid did not photograph very well. The original factory finish is present so I did not want to clean it.

Yes I am looking for a nice set of hands including the second hand + a 18 3/16 very flat hunter crystal.

Marc MicaleHi Keith, I might have a crystal for you - I will check when I get home from work tonight. By "very flat" I will figure a 7 or 8 high.
I will email you with my phone number - call me.

John J. Flahive IIII really like this one Keith, especially the Canadian 24 hour dial and Canadian Fortune case.

Should clean up pretty well.

Mark CrossInteresting it when through the hands of three different retailers before finding a home in someone's pocket.
