Hello all, I am nowhere near being an expert on Heuer chronos so I was hoping to get some thoughts on the watch attached below. Sorry for the quality of the photos as they are coming directly from the seller. The watch is 32mm in size and from the late 1930s. The inside caseback and bridge are not signed so I am not sure what reference this is. It does look fairly similar to the reference 2403 pictures I have seen. Do you see any major issues with it? The dial looks good to me. The watch is missing the crown and winding stem, which will need replacement. Was is common for the caseback and bridge not to be signed? If it does look good, what would be its value in current state, assuming it will need a full service and new winding stem/crown? Thanks in advance!

Thanks! I will send him a message. I had looked through his site before but there isn't much about the earlier chronos. Definitely a great reference though.
