Just picked this up, but didn't realize the size was smaller than I expected - so, I'm off to find another vintage chrono if I can. Priced to sell at $2100 shipped, firm (I just paid $2300 from an ebay auction, before spending $140 for the extra strap), within the CONUS. Int'l buyers, please add an extra $20.

As for a trade - I'd be interested in either a vintage chronograph (ie. Heuer Autavia, Breitling Navitimer), or something more contemporary (ie. Omega Speedy Schumacher LE - white dial, w/black subdials, Heuer 'McQueen' Monaco - blue dial). All I ask is that the watch is at least 41-42mm in size, and preferrably in similiar condition to mine :)

If you have any specific questions, please do not hesitate to contact me...
Thanks!
