Vintage Orfina Porsche Design chrono with Lemania 5100 on original bracelet. I bought the watch in a poor state as a project item a few years ago and had it refurbished by an expert Swiss watchmaker in South Africa in December 2012. The case was re-sandblasted and the movement serviced. The red chrono seconds hand and the chrono minutes hand were repainted because of excessive paint loss. The condition of the watch is excellent. It runs very well and is extremely accurate with the chrono functions working correctly. The chrono hands reset slightly on the lazy side.
The watch makes a very good impression but is not what the serious collector would want. I have used it as a regular wearer on a rotational basis and it is ideal for that. Much cooler than any modern chrono in my opinion. I want £775 for the watch, which is a good price if the value of the perfect 8 inch bracelet is considered. The caseback is excellent.
Reliable shipping from South Africa is quite expensive but I will charge the buyer only £30 or the equivalent in another currency. I will only use the most reliable form of shipping that is available. I can unfortunately only accept a wire transfer as only one bank in South Africa is allowed by law to channel incoming foreign currency from Paypal to its customers. I am not with that bank.
I am not a frequent buyer but I have done business with 2 prominent members on this forum. I will only do business with a buyer with good references.
