Re: FS: 1970 Yema Yachtingraf. Boxed. Straight lugs & Bakeli

OHPF

: A wonderful Yema Yachtingraf that’s clearly had a quiet life and
: remains in superb condition throughout, also comes complete with
: original box, sleeve, strap and even the original springbars.
: These custom springbars are oversized so that when fitted they
: fill up the clearance hole drilled through the lugs, thus giving
: a more pleasing and complete surface to the outer lug.

: This execution with a straight lug case and Bakelite bezel insert
: is the much less seen variant of the popular Yema Yachtingraf, a
: type so rarely seen that many don’t know of their existence.
: Here’s an in depth article discussing the exact reference:

: https://leclubyema.com/index.php/2018/12/21/le-boitier-yachtingraf-straight-lug-ou-en-francais-anses-droites/

: There’s also more info here, although more it’s a more
: generalised Yachtingraf article and slightly less reliable:

: https://www.heuerchrono.com/other-brands-vintage/yema-yachtingraf/

: The watch is powered by a very clean and unmolested Valjoux 7733
: movement that keeps great time and all of the chronograph
: functions are in full working order. Service history is unknown
: but I had my watchmaker put it on the timegrapher and the
: amplitude is very strong (see photo).

: The bezel rotates with the perfect amount of resistance. About the
: only faults I can see are some slight markings on the (presumed)
: original crystal, and the running seconds hand looks to have
: taken on an ever so slightly creamy colour. Everything else on
: the dial side is spotless with bright, puffy lume and even dial
: paint. Note also the correct chronograph sweep hand with a
: smaller open arrow head than more standard Yachtingraf
: executions.

: Asking price is £2650 + shipping. Watch is currently in the U.K.

: Any questions or offers please email and I’m very happy to help.

: More photos of this watch are available on request, plus it appears
: many times on my Instagram feed @the_second_hand_
