bello, bel quadrante!

6211 è un'interessante GYROMATIC prima serie.
Meno facile da reperire di altri, probabilmente un po' sottovalutata per le dimensioni contenute ( come tutti i Gyromatic 1 ) e per l'assenza di linee tondeggianti nella cassa.
Ho notato che pero' spesso i quadranti di questa referenza sono molto interssanti.
Gli elementi della grafica e degli indici sono comuni ad altri modelli ma la combinazione è spesso ben riuscita.
Sono daccordo con Blomman , mi piace molto il quadrante del tuo orologio.
Non sarei preoccupato per la riparazione dl movimento, puoi agevolmente tovare ricambi per il cal 47 GP oppure utilizzare parti del corrispondente ebauches eta, in casi estremi puoi sostituire l'intero modulo automatico , facilmente reperibile usato. Forse terrei il rotore per non pedere la serie .
ecco un paio di esempi di ref 6211.
Ciao
Giuseppe

Question regarding GP 47BF 620

I am holding the above mentioned watch which has some personal history and would like to know if it can be repaired... I took the watch to a very well know and large repair facility here in Tokyo and their "estimate team told me that the gear wheels [...]...
What a beauty!

Love the numerals on the dial! :) I will check with the Manufacture if they have a any partner service center in Japan. Best Blomman
Thank you for checking....

Blomman, your efforts are much appreciated... I don't mind to send the watch out of country to be worked on, it's a long term project ;) Casey
Great piece

I have a very similar one waiting to meet with my watchmaker for a makeover. Will take a photo if I find time and share here. The movement 47B is based on a very common ETA movement. Finding matching parts should not be a problem for a skilled watchmaker....
thanks for the comment and photo...

When I was doing some research I found an old article in the PuristSPro Feature Sections about the cal. 47 (10-Dec-2003)... I hope it's okay to put the link here (??) +vintage+cal.+47+(some+larger+scans ) Quite an interesting history... Casey
Actually

found a photo on the hard disk so no need to spend time getting the camera out :) Mine is also Ref 6211, different dial but same case as far as I can see. As can be seen mine needs a new crystal, some polishing and a movement overhaul. Best, CC ...
Yes, weird

I was not sure if the photo maybe tricked me, but I also thought that the case might be different, but I had mine open and inside the caseback it says 6211. Given its overall condition, I doubt the caseback was replaced.
bello, bel quadrante!

Thank you for your encouragement and photos... I also feel confident that the watch I have in hand can be running again... My example had a hard life as did the original owner and I am very glad that this copy came to me... I believe (and it has been sugg...
