Hi All

I've been looking at Chronostops for a while now either the 146.009 or 145.009 and recently just missed out on a Full set 145.009.

I've come across the watch below in my search and I'm after thoughts on the the grime/rust around the chrono pusher, there is also a little near the crown.Is this just dirt build up or could it be a bigger issue?

I've messaged the seller to ask and they've said that it was missed when they cleaned the watch. I've also asked for pictures of the movement which they are going to get back to with with.

They are asking £1495 which I think is a bit high even though it comes with full box and papers so I would try to negotiate.

Looks quite rich a price to me, are you based in the UK and would pay import on other European auctions? because they do come up for sale quite often.

I am in the uk and agree that the price is rich. Think they are adding a premium for original papers which on a watch this age is a nice to have rather than an essential.

Yes that may be true if you put a premium on papers, however no original mesh bracelet (and i assume the buckle is generic too)..

It does have the original leather strap with deployuant but that looks like it wouldn’t last 5 minutes before it fell apart.

Further to the watch listed above I’ve sourced another at a much more reasonable price and would be interested in getting opinions on the condition of this one?

What are they asking?
