·I bought a vintage Bucherer certified chronometer a couple days ago.
Cons:
- Advertised as 38mm, was 34mm
- Claimed recently serviced and keeps good time.....timegrapher shows +74s/Day, 5.8 BE, so no not recently serviced, maybe never.
- This is a top opening case....has loose poly crystal and bezel (almost like wrong crystal..too thin to capture case edge tightly. Some resistance when pressing on, but comes loose too easily).
Pros:
- Very attractive watch
- Virtually perfect Dial and Hands
paid only $140.
Question: do I keep this and find right crystal and service the movement(at least regulate it), or return it and be done with it?
Thanks to all!!
BTW, does anyone know how to remove this movement (no slot in case for crown stem to slide out, so does crown just pull out?
