Howzit Watch Fans.I'd like to share a nice watch with a history with you. I just acquired an Eterna Matic Kon Tiki. Eterna is famous for Introducing the ball bearing rotor on todays self winding watches.

Much like the previous game, one can also move around the ring by analog control instead of using the D-pad. In the new system, grappling moves are now affected by analog control, in contrast to the button-based system from preceding games. Smackdown vs raw ps2 iso.

The Logo for Eterna is 5 ball bearings. I have attached a link called The story of Eterna: The Kon Tiki commemorates the the Pacific Voyage of explorer Thor Heyerdahl on a Balsawood raft in 1947. The Kon Tiki watch I have has a movement numbered 1422 UD, and is from 1961. Eterna chose to date their watches by movement numbers instead of serial numbers because they changed movement numbers so often as demonstrated by the fact that in 1961 alone, there are 9 movement numbers. The watch commemorates the voyage with a gold emblem on the case back depicting the sailing raft 'Kon Tiki '. On to the watch.the first few pics are the sellers. On to my pics.The wach was serviced according to the seller, and I found fresh silicone lube on the case back and crown gaskets.

Also a very clean movement with virtually no marks or scratches visible. I cleaned the case and installed a new crystal, and although the original Gay Freres bracelet came on the watch, I found the links to feel too lightweight and rather chintzy,[ that's my take ]. So I installed the links from a bracelet I had in my stash but used the original end links, which needed a bit of body and fender work, and also kept the original deployment buckle with the Eterna / Kon Tiki logos and the Gay Freres inscription. I hope you enjoyed looking at this watch as much as I do. Aloha, Louis. Hi Ricardo, Nice watch.

This model is probably one of my earliest memories of watches as I remember reading Eterna's advertisement in the Reader's Digest of the early 70s which gave a summary of Heyerdahl's feat. Also in those magazines were Rolex's which were found on the inside cover (full-spread) and Seiko's (one page only!). I have a few and I noticed that they 'do' have individual serial numbers so maybe their policy changed? Anil Their Policy may have changed, and I did notice a serial number on my watches movement. I mentioned the dating system from a site called 'Wrist Chronology '. I am including that information.

Introduction on how to find & use serial numbers A serial number is a unique number attached to one specefic watch. A unique serial number makes it possible to trace back the origin of any watch and identify model, calibre and year in which it was produced. Feb 3, 2018 - The watches that featured these landmark developments are of great. So, if serial numbers correlate to actual production, then eterna.

Maybe someone with more knowledge on the subject can shed some light on Eterna's dating system.

It's rarely possible to give any kind of definitive valuation without seeing a watch (pocket or wrist) in person, but it sounds like you have an inexpensive pocket watch that was probably made in the 1960s, less likely made in the 1970s or 1950s. The use of the term 'antimagnetic' on the watch, as opposed to '17 jewels,' suggests that the watch is powered by a 1-3 jewel pin lever movement, rather than a more expensive movement. These movements can keep quite good time, but they are not valued by watch collectors unless the rest of the watch is of compelling interest. In terms of value, your pocket watch has more value as a piece of jewelry than as a vintage timepiece. Most watch collectors would not be particularly interested in your watch.

In the United States, I've seen similar watches, in running condition, sell for $5-10 at vintage watch fairs. Around where I live (the Northeast), as a piece of jewelry, your watch may be worth twice that but not more. I cannot speak to pricing in other parts of the country or internationally. Jun 12, 2011 .
