Title: Rare Vintage Ulysse Nardin Chronograph Description: GOOD/VERYGOOD condition. This brand is very difficult to obtain in vintage and very very expensive if purchased new. Finer Times vintage watch web site has half a dozen or so and the chronographs, one similar to this, are all around $2000. The time only UN wrist watches are priced where this chronograph is priced. So, doing our market research reveals a more than fair and special price for this fully signed gold topped snap back chronograph. Some pitting on the steel back which you can see in the photos and the dial which looks really nice may have been refinished in my opinion (we don't refinish dials on our watches) at some time. It is marked Swiss Made and has excellent fine detail but...that's what I think. Runs great, keeping good time and times properly using the flat gold plated pushers. This type of case with flat pushers is not water or dust resistant and actually breathes through the pusher holes. If it gets slightly damp from perspiration or humidity it will dry out on its own accord if left in a warm dry place. This is typical of earlier snap back watches or formed case watches and especially flat pusher chronos. The crown is newer and easily gripped. One of our finest Hadley Roma straps is attached. Measures 35 mm wide (not including the crown) x 41 mm long x 12 mm thick. {$875} Item #5422 SOLD
