Please see our ChronoTrader Policies and Terms of Use. | Learn more about How To Include Photos In Your Postings. |
Rules: Postings must be an ad announcing an intent to sell, buy or trade. Full item description and photo(s) must be posted within the message here, not as links to other websites. Links to online auctions and other sites: Links to online auctions, dealer sites or other listings of items are permitted, but you should be careful to ensure that such listings will comply with our other ChronoTrader Policies. In addition, we request that sellers linking to online auctions or listings offer some benefit or accomodation to ChronoTrader readers (for example, some discount or an undertaking to end an auction early, to keep a watch "in the family"). Photos must be of the actual item for sale in its present condition. No counterfeit or replica products. No post for the same item may be repeated within 7 days, except to lower the asking price. Commercial dealers are limited to three unique posts per day. [More...]
CASE: 36mm steel case is in excellent, unpolished condition, with the facets on the lugs still well-defined. The crown is signed, the caseback has a few marks but otherwise has very little wear, and the pushers are correct+original. The acrylic is original and has a scuff at 8, but otherwise seems okay. Head-only, no bracelet or strap. Just a fantastic example.
DIAL+HANDS: Flawless. I've had a dozen of these over the last decade, and this is the nicest I've had.
MVMT: The Valjoux 72 is running perfectly, the chrono starts/stops/resets as it should, and the timekeeping is very accurate. That said: the movement is clearly untouched and I believe I was the first to open the caseback since it left the factory 50+ years ago. This should be serviced for regular wear but, again, it's currently running very well.
Price is $2700. Watch+I are in Indiana/USA. Happy to provide more pictures, answer any questions, and offer as many references as requested. Thanks for looking, and to Jeff/CT for the space and community.
