Do you mean "epic" in terms off the absurdity of the asking price?

€10k for a watch in a chrome case in poor condition, with a damaged dial in poor condition, and likely replacement hands? 🤦

(FWIW I wouldn't pay 5% of the asking price.)

It's funny you posted this. I've owned a Gyroplan for a very long time, but just this week I took it out of a drawer to have a look at it.

It's missing the correct ratchet wheel but otherwise it is pretty nice. Note that on the picture the discs that indicate the time are not correctly aligned.

What is quite unusual on my pocket watch is that is uses a very high grade movement that I haven't seen on other Gyroplan pocket watches (a Lecoultre base I think). The movement looks kind of out of place to be honest. However, I do think that it is original to the watch.

Here is a good source of knowledge about your cal 565
http://www.ranfft.de/cgi-bin/bidfun-db.cgi?10&ranfft&&2uswk&Marvin_565;
unfortunately, your cal.184 doesn't appear in Ranfft, unless it's called something else.
