after I shot the pics. 
The first good sign was an all-stainless case.. not always the case with Swiss of this vintage! The case does have a ding or two, but nothing major. The brush job on the face is, I suspect, not OEM.
But the dial is in VGC, and the hands nearly as good. 
I love a gray dial.. when they're done good, as in this Lorus, they're great. When done really well, as in this Citizen 41, they're an absolute joy!
This Bucherer is somewhere in the middle.. far more impressive than the Lorus, not quite up to the CITIZEN!s lofty standard. I've currently got it affixed with one of the grayish-silver 1-piece nylons from Uncle Otto..
Plain unremarkable back side..
But that back side leads to something wonderful..
..the movement!
As I suspected when I found (to my shock and delight!) that the movement both hacked and quick-set, 'tis a very early example of the ETA 2824. Adjusted for 5 positions + temperature, no less!
This photo, while showing skewed color balance..
..I felt was, nonetheless, too gorgeous
not to share. LOL!T'anks for lookin' y'all!

Woops! Hold the phone! Seems the 2824 was around as early as 1967.. >>
