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

Thanks

Well done @waXology! That's a GREAT deal on a V72 powered Sky Chief. 👍

So, are any of you going to PM waXology with complaints that his prices are too low? 🙄 😒 (you know who you are! 🤪 😝)
