·Let my little buddy tell you how I feel:
Finally, after years of being on the Target of Opportunity list there's an El Primero in my box! It's a reference 01.0210.415 caliber 3019 PHC from around 1973 - the last reference made of the vintage EP's before the apocalypse as I've been told.
As you can see, it's not in mint condition but that's why we have our trusted watchmakers.
It needs a correct crown, and the pushers are a little stiff too.
The movement appears to be in great shape though, and it seems to be keeping time despite needing a service.
I really shouldn't have spent this money, but for a C-licious EP like this in the perfect size I had to do it. As parts come in and work gets done, I'll update the thread so consider this the "before" post. There will be several forum members to thank at the end too. Let's just say for now that this website has the best group of collectors anywhere.
