    Evening everyone,

    Hope you all had a good weekend. I have a couple of questions about a late '60s Chronostop that I'm hoping you all can help me with.

    1. What are the dimensions of the case?
    2. Did the cases come in brushed finish or polished?

    Whatever you can tell me is great, thank you. Looking forward to hearing from you all.

    There were a few versions of the chronostop (at least 7).

    Which one are you after?

    Hi JimInOz,

    Thanks very much for getting back to me. I'm thinking of the driver's version reference 146.010. This is the one with the '12' at the regular 3 o'clock position. I can't tell if the case is supposed to be brushed or polished and of course I don't know what the dimensions are. If you have a thought I'd again be appreciative, thank you.

    Chris

    The 146.010 case is 35mm wide. For me its too small and a better looking option is the 145.007, which is 41mm wide, although I dont think it was available in the driver style version.

    I believe the 146.010 case should be sunburst finished

    Hi pascs,

    Great information on the width, do you know the length? Also, if it comes on a mesh bracelet do you know what reference number the bracelet would be? Thank you.

    No problem.

    Max length in the middle is 39.5mm with 18mm lug width

    The mesh bracelet has the long clasp, which I think was designed that long so it could be engraved........maybe with blood type :p

    The clasp reference is 1120/116 No 27
