Tis different isn't it....

I have a 30 yr old Favre - Leuba of Geneva that my dad got for me for my 21st birthday. I was on holiday in Switzerland in 96 and happened upon a shop which sold them. The lady had to ask the manager to look at the watch as the design was not one she recognised. He said they only did it for 2 yrs and he'd give me £750 for it there and then. If it wasn't from my dad it would have gone...

It's really thin and very light I don't wear it much at all tbh, just put a battery in now and again, last time I checked it lost about 10 secs a year.........Needs a blooming clean outside but I don't trust anybody with it.....
