New (to me) watch arrival: Gallet by Racine...

Just before I suffered my Kidney Stone attack on Monday, I received this Gallet I purchased off of eBay (seller's pictures):






(Movement is an Excelcior Park c. 40-68 (same as my Excel-o-Graph) a real nice movement someone should revive!)

Hopefully I will be able to take some "family photo's" of my Gallet's (which number 7 wrists and 1 pocket timer currently) in the near future.

Enjoy!

    Hey Chuck,


    First, the stones. I've had two of them. Quite unpleasant to say the least. I still carry a lot of emotional baggage from the experiences, the result of which is I'm always drinking water, juice, coffee, etc.


    As to the watch, nice find! Looks like a nice clean example. And I like the the squarish look of the case as seen from the 45 degree view.

    Do you have any more info on the history of the brand and/or movement? I'm interested in learning more.
