The watch in the picture had a movement marked 321, which was the same movement used in early Speedmaster and some Seamaster chronographs. Unfortunately I don't have any pictures of the movement but I did see it.

This is not evidence that Gueblin watches often have 321 movements. Rather, Gueblin watches built a wide variety of watches using whatever caught their fancy. They were jeweler's and designers first, which means their products are diverse and eclectic.

The watch in the picture was a one owner watch from a prominent doctor who had patented surgical instruments. There are not many like it. Easier to find a G-body 911 in pristine condition, (although the watch was considerably cheaper.) Still, if money were no issue, I could buy a low mileage 1988 911 this afternoon. A Gueblin with a 321? Good luck ever finding one.

super interesting infor regarding that watch and its owner. it says much about the customers gubelin aims at. thanks for the input
