Thanks. Could I trouble you for a link to the eBay posting?

I've gotten into trouble for posting eBay links before. It's against the rules. I don't think it's too hard to search for Pierre Cardin vintage watch, though. It's one of only a few on there that's not new and easily recognizable and from Great Britain.
Just open the item on eBay and then copy the exact wording of the listing and paste it here as text. If someone then pastes that wording into the eBay search box, it should take them to that exact listing.

It turns out that one had Roman numerals instead of Arabic (I was looking at the picture Dr. Jones Sr posted, not the Lucasfilm archive one when I was comparing). I believe he found the correct one on eBay UK, though (full hunter). I'd prefer the non-hunter one for display purposes, but I've yet to find one (kind of quit looking TBH as it's not exactly my 1st choice for the next Indy prop. I'm still wondering if I should have gotten the Belloq staff when I had the chance.... Oh well. I've got too many as it is. Sort of.... OK, not really.
Nah. Keep going. I did find it, thanks. Now I just have to figure out how to get it shipped to me in the US. I agree with you that I prefer the open face. If nothing else, it’s the one that’s been “authenticated” (we hope) by Lucasfilm. But I went ahead with the hunter bc I actually like it and there is footage of Connery on the plane with a hunter. But it does bug me a little that we have to connect the dots a bit by assuming that the plane one is in fact the hunter version of the authenticated open face one. Needless to say I’ll keep my eye out for the open face and will pick it up if I see it.
Well …. The eBay purchase of the hunter version fell through… so I’m back to looking for either version of the watch.
Finally managed to acquire the full hunter/motorcycle scene version of Henry Sr.’s Jean Pierre Incabloc pocket watch (or at least the hunter version that corresponds to the open face version seen in the Lucasfilm prop book). Now working on obtaining/making an accurate looking leather strap.
