FS: Vintage Leonidas Pre-Heuer Chronograph 1950s Tachymeter *PIC*

I have a catch and release today, an excellent example of an all original Leonidas Chronograph, I believe from the 1950's (can't find any Leonidas serial number databases). It was bought from a very trusted (and high volume) online dealer recently - serviced - the chronograph is functioning perfectly. Keeping time well, to 1-2 mins per day for me, good for a watch of it's age.

To the best of my knowledge (and the dealer's), all parts of the head are original; hands, dial, case, movement, crown and pushers, except the acrylic crystal has been replaced. You can see in photos below even expected patina across the dial, with no sign of re-finishing. An aftermarket 'racing style' strap is included.

Asking for a firm firm $900 USD including PayPal fees and shipping on my end (you can take away $20 of shipping costs if you live in Australia like me). This is net to me, exactly what I paid for the watch myself.

Please send offers and responses (for more photos) to: robinhu321@gmail.com

Details:

- 35mm wide, approx 14mm thick, 18mm lug width, 42nmm lug to lug. Definitely where's large for it's size, as you can see on wrist shots on my 6.7 inch wrist.

- comes with after market racing style strap (not pictured, please email me for more photos)

- 18,000 bph Landeron 48 movement

I've made multiple sales on OF in the past 12 months, and also have sold a few watches via eBay:
