For sale or trade, I have a mid 80's mil-issue Tutima Chrono in steel. I believe this is one of the earlier releases of the watch given the fact that the case is steel, the Tutima logo is an older style, and the case back is in an earlier style as well (it's also marked W. Germany, so you know it's 80's). The dial is marked "military" and it has the Bund markings on the back.
The good: The Lemania 5100 inside works well. Starts and stops crisply and keeps relatively good time (a slight loss over a week). The tritium still has a slight glow.
The bad (or maybe good too): The watch has some pretty heavy patina in the form of scratches and scrapes. I happen to think they add to the overall look of the watch, but if you're into NOS things, this isn't it. That said, you know this hasn't been refinished. The chrono minute hand is slightly discolored at the tip, though it's more visible in photos than in person. The start/stop pusher is slightly loose...likely needs a new spring, not something that I found bothering me as it's only slight.
I'm looking for $1,600 if you're interested in buying it. I'm happy to trade for Sinn chronographs, "Poor Man's Heuers", etc... The watch comes with a bund strap, Tutima inner and outer boxes, no papers
