    Looking to sell my beautiful vintage Leonidas Chronograph.

    Have owned this piece for approx 18 months, where I have had the watch in my ownership fully serviced by Simon Freese Watchmakers in the UK. Too many in comings and need to thin the herd.

    Case:
    Great condition 35mm case with 18mm lugs . No dings or dents. Minor marks on the back of lugs, but front and side are in wonderful condition for a watch of this age. The case wears quite well for its size.

    Dial / Handset: The reason I bought this in the first place was the attractiveness of the dial. Wonderful colours that hopefully come through on the pictures below.
    Dial and handsets are remarkably clean. Have included High Res Pics to let the shots do the talking.

    Movement/Performance: Landeron 48 Movement winds beautifully and the watch keeps strong time. The Chrono function works perfectly. Movement serviced in April 2017, Ultrasonic case cleaning and hairspring adjustment were all conducted as part of the service. No polish and I believe the case/hands to be original.

    Bracelet: Brand new Horween Chromexcel supplied from @jankoxxx

    My new price is £645 (net to me) with payment via PayPal (sent "Friends & Family," add 3% if that option is not used) or direct bank wire. Face-to-face in UK is also welcome for local buyers. Finally, I have plenty of references available as a buyer and seller that I can provide if necessary.

    Now the pics:
