This watch is now OHPF. I recently posted for sale a pair of iconic LeCoultre watches - a 'Shark' chronograph and a 'Barracuda' super compressor. My intention was to sell them as a pair and accordingly offered them at a 'keen' price. Unfortunately, whilst they have been 'sold' twice, with firm commitments by buyers, but on both occasions the buyers 'flaked', so the watches remain unsold (maybe I'm 'old school' but I've never committed unless it's a 100% deal - maybe it's a sign of the times ?) Anyway, I've decided to split the watches into individual deals and list them separately. If anyone is interested in buying the pair, please see my other sales post (coming up tomorrow) for a LeCoultre 'Barracuda'. I'm offering an overall reduction of UK £1000 if both watches are bought together. LeCoultre 'Shark' Deep Sea Chronograph. Ref E2643. circa 1967 / 1968. Case Stainless steel, 40mm x 15mm (without crown & pushers). Bevelled lugs and screwdown back in excellent used condition. Well defined edges indicate no polishing. Some scuffs and minor scratches as to be expected. Dial Excellent condition 'reverse Panda' dial with Tritium plots. No visible flaws on the dial. Base 1000 tachymetre perimeter ring. Permanent seconds sub dial at 9 o'clock, elapsed minutes at 3 o'clock, elapsed hours at 6 o'clock. As to be expected, the Tritium plots are 'exhausted' showing a short glow when charged. Please note, the dial is super condition, any marks perceived are on the crystal . Crown Original crosshatched crown with wear consistent with age. Pushers Original pushers working smoothly. Hands Original baton hands very clean, with Tritium inserts (again - short glow when subjected to strong light source). Bezel Super condition bi-directional 60 minute / 60 second bezel ring with Tritium dot. Very minor wear on the edges, but excellent condition for an original bezel. Crystal Plastic crystal with a few minor scratches but no cracks, can be delivered with the crystal polished if preferred. Movement. Valjoux 72 manual wind movement in excellent condition. Winds smoothly. All chrono functions work, set and re-set correctly. The movement keeps excellent time and has a strong power reserve. No service history but no obvious faults. Strap Black leather strap with white stitching and stainless steel tang buckle. Accessories. No box or papers. Overall Exceptional condition and a very sought after watch. A ready to wear investment. I'm looking for UK £9000 net to me, including insured shipping. Here are some pictures, my photography skills are poor and you can be assured that the watch is way better in real life.
