Hello all! I am considering buying this Lemania chronometer but I don’t have the sufficient knowledge about this brand to state if it’s an original watch. All I can say is that I think that the dial looks nice and the case looks sharp. Seller is in Belgium and is asking 140 €. What do you think?

Thanks in advance for your precious help!

Here are the pics (not the best but it’s what I’ve got for the moment) :

140€ is a bargain for a Lemania chronograph, these have good well built movmenets. Unfortunately the case is plated which will keep most enthusiasts away, hard to say anything about the dial from these pictures.

Thanks for your answer! I will try to ask the seller for some better pictures to be sure that everything is ok. Particularly with the movement as there is not too much to see with the pictures that I have.

140 EUR is too good to be true IMO. There’s a catch somewhere....

That’s also what I was thinking. That’s why I preferred to ask here before making a mistake 😉

Thanks for your reactions guys! Appreciate it!

For that price, it might be worth taking a chance on it.

Told the seller that I’m interested and asked for some better pics of dial and movement. Let’s see what he says, just hope the watch won’t be sold until then 😁

If that price is legit I would say that is a gamble worth taking

Just to give you some feedback.

Finally the seller told me that he will provide me some more photos. But then a few hours after the announcement was inactive.

So I checked seller’s opinions and it was full of bad reviews and people saying that’s he’s a scammer. It was just too beautiful to be true.

Sad because it’s not the first time that I see these sort of announcements on this website.

Thanks again for your replies and sorry for having wasted your time.

I should have checked sellers opinions before even considering buying the watch but was under the excitement of making a good buy.

This will be a lesson for the future.
