Never seen one like # 15 yet, Barney

Favre seems to be the exception. Were he and Aegler guys all just super close to the Gruens? Then again, I’m not aware of even an Aegler marked with Gruen Watch Co Precision. Always struck me as odd that Favre and Aegler were the only ones who remained WSC and never got a movement letter in the first “Guild X” period, then the only ones to get one in 1929.

Regarding Extra Precision, I’ve never seen one, but that’s cuz I’ve never seen any! Those 5th Ave shop lady creations seem to have some choice trim, always a surprise. Maybe one will turn up in a 5th Ave, but I’m inclined to agree with you.

My two caveats:
1) I'm wrong many times a day --just ask my wife!
2) Always seeking to learn more
