[SOLVED] Does anyone know the seller of this engraved movement?

Post by Laer »

Hello HF Brothers.
I am looking for contact information for the seller of the movement in the attached photo.

I remember he has been selling wonderful engraved movements on eBay for many years.
The photo is of a custom UNITAS 6497, but he had many custom movements for sale.

I contacted him once through eBay messages, but the messages disappeared.
I think it was a watch store in Germany or Belgium.
If anyone has any idea how to get in touch with me, please let me know.

**PS
I am making a custom watch to give to a dear friend of mine who will be retiring this spring.
Looking for a beautiful ETA 6497/6498 movement to commemorate him, so any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Hi, you could try Julien - a Swiss eBay seller at

info@masteroftime.ch

He seems to sell a lot of different 6497 and 6498 movements on eBay. I’ve just ordered an eta 6497 from him.

Hello HF Brothers.
I am looking for contact information for the seller of the movement in the attached photo.
As much as I remember this particular style of skeletonization / engraving was done by Shlain. After some searching on ebay, I found these contacts:

Maximilian Shlain
Schöneweider Str. 20
12055 Berlin
Deutschland
anchor-time@gmx.de
http://www.ebay.de/usr/anchor-time

But it seems that at least ebay account isn't active nowadays...
