Title: Fantastic One Button Early Pierce Chronograph Serviced
Description: VERYGOOD condition. Stunningly beautiful dial on this watch and I've kept the price even lower than the other one we just sold. See what I am referring to Pierce, click here. Extra fine collectable often overlooked by collectors, Pierce chronographs had fantastic dials which often lasted for generations. All original with sweet luminescent Arabic numeral and filled hands. Very faint at this point. The detail is fantastic and I find my eye exploring all of the detail and timing charts. Tachymeter and Telemeter and a 60 seconds track plus the two (also called up down dials) subsidiary dials keep up to 30 minutes, like a stop watch. The single button at four starts, stops and resets the red chronograph hand. This watch has a steel back which is held in place with screws and uses an old fashioned lead seal. The main or middle body (there is no removable bezel) is chrome over base metal. The lugs are holed for ease of strap changing and the crown is large and easy to grip. From a collector who has serviced it recently and Wayne has also had a look to confirm and check for problems. There is one I would like to mention. Some sort of spacer or case/movement clamp or screw is missing as the movement and dial have a little play in the case which is noticed by experienced watch collectors while winding. I've marked the price lower than usual for this reason. The in-house movement is very clean and sharp and it runs great. They have a rare mechanism which starts the chronograph hand smoothly rather than with a one second jump or jerk. This is fascinating and rare for chronographs. Measures 34.5 mm wide (not including the crown) x 39 mm long x 14 mm thick. {$575} Item #5652
