It's time to part with my last 1940's Benrus Sky Chief which I enjoyed hunting for a few years. This is Valjoux 72 model with a gorgeous glossy gilt black dial.



The watch came was bought at auction about a year ago. I sent it off to my watchmaker and it received a full service in 2017. Everything is original including the crystal which shows some scratches on it.




The hands have aged to a lovely almost redish patina and the dial has a nice gold gilt look.





The watch comes in at a nice 35.5mm and sits lovely on the wrist.

Looking to get £1100 ($1500) net to me including tracked worldwide shipping. Which i think is a fantastic deal.

Payment by Bank Transfer or Paypal for established forum members. I have sold a few watches on here and have references if needed

I think that's everything but please reach out for more info/pics

Thanks

 

Wow that was quick. OHPF.

@adam78 . Thanks for the reminder. I've asked the guy taking it if he needs movement shot. If it falls through ill update here with the shot. (I couldn't find the case tool).

Thanks
