Watch Description

This gorgeous watch has been amazingly restored by Mike Cousineau who did an amazing job of fully restoring the 218-2 movement and original bracelet.

The watch looks great on the wrist and has been my daily wearer since it arrived.

Big thanks to Geoff for convincing me to put the money into this watch to have it restored. It was well worth it.

Linebook model: 21519-4W. Original RRP price was $185.

So many times I've almost bought one,  SO CLOSE I was to not sending this one to you - haha. Saw one on the bay this AM for a LOT more than you spent. Cousineau does wonderful work doesn't he?

He sure does. The case polish alone makes the watch seem almost brand new.

I didn't realise there was a Spaceview version of the BD. Assuming it housed a standard 214 movement as there is no crown as the 4 o'clock position.

How cool is THAT? The dial ON THE OTHER is different than yours too, it's gloss without minute marks.

Ah I missed that. The dial branding is different too.
