OFF TOPIC PHOTOGRAPHY

Description: EXCELLENT condition. You really have to see this watch in person to appreciate it's unique style and beauty. This is a three part case with a gold plated bezel and middle body. There are a few spots of plating loss on the bezel but they are fairly small. Overall the middle body and bezel rate about 75% and look more like nearmint in person. The dial is superb and the previous owner claimed it was original but I believe it was refinished very nicely sometime long ago. It does say "made in switzerland" at the very bottom. The oversized sub-dials are striking and unusual. Normal seconds at six, 30 minute counter at twelve. The steel back is fully signed and snaps in place. It fits perfectly but a flat pusher chronograph is not a water or dust resistant vintage watch. The flat pushers and crown are original and there is some wear/pitting on the end of the crown. This has an early type of white (steel or german silver) mono-metallic screw balance with a nickel/iron hairspring opposed to blue carbon steel hairsprings on later watches. The genuine lizard skin strap is original to the era, or close. 1940's triple signed (Ed. Heuer on movement) up down chronograph in perfect running condition and keeping good time. Measures 33.5 mm wide (not including the crown) x 40 mm long x 14 mm thick. {$875} Item #4213 SOLD TO JA
