We await the outcome?
Im waiting for the delivery actually, i got some picture from the house auction, and the bracelet is a 1479, whatever the outcome of the watch, if its reparable or not, the bracelet alone will repay almost the buying price of the watch.

I am looking at the same watch, 145.022/3590.50 from 88 to 92, and it looks like the chronograph wheel is jammed over the coupling wheel.
The owner probably used force to make "it happen" by using the reset pusher to stop the chrono ?
A Full service plus some new wheels and maybe new pushers will cost about € 1000,- . So anything under 3K euro including commission is still a good buy i think. You wont get it for under 2K as that would still be profitable for a dealer or flipper.

He also succeeded in breaking open almost completely the last link of the bracelet on the left, and on a solid link 1479 that is not easy.

This watch just hammered at € 3250,- plus 27% fee and vat . The low estimate was a bait that worked well 😉 .

Didn’t the opener say he already bought it?
