路This arrived today...
Crystal is cracked and marked up but the dial looks good, the case is unpolished with all bevels/facets intact and the movement looks dirty but fine, far better than I expected!馃憤 Off to the watchmaker it goes!

路Is it me and my bad eyes or are those chrono pushers spread very, very far apart?
Lulzzzz - I see you already answered my question!!!!!
That is a seriously good looking movement.

And now for something completely different. Bought this one today.
A Minerva Chronograph ref 1335 Caliber 13-20CH. 35mm case. Serial 710xxx.
From WatchWiki:
Introduced in 1923 in Minerva-brand chronographs, Calibre 13-20 was designed as a mono pusher but was available after 1940 in bi-pusher configurations with 30- or 45-minute counters. It was one of the few chronograph calibres on the market on its introduction and was developed in collaboration with Dubois-Depraz. It was remarkably well-developed for the era and continued in production for decades.
Watch enthusiasts are able to recognize Minerva's Calibre 13 by the unusual positions of the pushers: Rather than being located between the crown and lugs at 30掳, they are moved toward the lugs at 37掳 from the crown. Calibre 13 is a column-wheel chronograph, 6.4 mm thick, with a Breguet balance spring and 17 jewels.
Even after the introduction of the updated 13-21 derivative, Minerva continued occasionally to produce (or re-manufacture) Calibre 13-20 movements. For example, Panerai used a re-finished Calibre 13-20 in their Panerai Ferrari 00024 chronograph, branding it "Panerai OP XXVIII". Panerai also used this as their OP XXV in the 2011 PAM300 Mare Nostrum, though perhaps this was the later 13-22 instead.
Not my picture/watch, but the movement in mine is fully signed and in the same execution as this one:

Those RUDD'S are serious business! Very serious machine. Do you know the SEER rating for this unit?
That's a big unit (teeheehee). How many tons? You must have a pretty big ass house.

路Those RUDD'S are serious business! Very serious machine. Do you know the SEER rating for this unit?
16 SEER. After fooling around with a 13 SEER Nordyne I wasn't about to go less efficient. Went with a 95% efficiency furnace too.
That's a big unit (teeheehee). How many tons? You must have a pretty big ass house.
Not as big as you would think. We use a 3 ton. It's not a big house either - 3 bedrooms (2 master size), living room, eat in kitchen, den (same size as living room), and laundry room (same size as the smallest bedroom). This new unit is about 30% larger in physical size than the one it replaced.

Good eye! That's going to turn out really nicely for you...!
Marvin made excellent, thoughtful and well designed cases back in the day. Do you see the the way case has a relief in between the lugs? That's so you fit monster straps on the watch with no rubbing and premature wearing of the strap (and, case).
You're crossing the Rubicon to master watch collector

路Well to be fair, I did buy this on Sunday, but it has just arrived 15 mins ago when I picked it up from the post office. Thanks for all the advice from OF members I got in getting this one, my first diver. Especially our friendly neighbourhood @Northernman 馃憤 who may have sent me this from near the Arctic circle. 馃槜

路I know this isn't most people's cup of tea but I really like the Mondaine's clean look. This one has a really cool function in tribute to the real Swiss clocks.
