Hi folks, I'm following this watch on ebay and it looks pretty much ok to me but since i'm not familiar with chronographs nor this brand in particular I would appreciate some comments concerning it's condition, type of movement and aprox. value. Thanks! http://www.ebay.ie/itm/RARE-1940-s-...es_Watches_MensWatches_GL&hash=item35d767ec6fPurchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network Ps - The only chronograph I have in my collection is a soviet "Strella" so I really want to start with the right foot! Probably this is not the best way??
Looks like a nice example to me, I like the patina and blued hands. The Venus 170 was used by several different brands in that era, so it should be fairly easy to find parts if needed. Buren was an English company, later acquired by Hamilton. It's not one of the mainstream "collectible" brands, but nothing wrong with that IMO. Don't really know what to expect on price, though I am sure others will weigh in.
