    Here's one I got today, 40 mm diameter (the Panerai crazies will love I guess ;)), manufactured circa 1915, not a hairline in the dial (lines are dust), I feel humble wearing it...
    Of course, I will change the strap... I'll show you when the the job is done...

    From this pic it appears like it's past owners treated it with massive TLC . Porcelain dial Heaven. Patina heaven. Congrats on this acquisition! It's got to be very very rare. I'm a sucker for Grand Feu military/rail dials like this.

    @10H10 is this you selling it or is there just by chance another one of these up for grabs the same week?

    The pusher at 6 is different so likely another one. Also the "Universal..." text is higher on the dial, which is interesting.

    Here are the rest of the pictures, I find the case back a little bare for a watch that should be in silver. Maybe @10H10 can help us out with pictures of his case back.

    Update: I wrote a few days ago about not having a natural affinity for chronographs. Oddly enough, even as I wrote those words I had a strong hunch that, one day, I would eat them. That day has arrived much sooner than expected. To assist with my education, I took advantage of a great deal I happened to find on this book, which I have just been informed is now in the mail:
    25627206_1_x.jpg
    While my ownership focus will remain on the three handers for the foreseeable future, seeing all the beauful chronos around here has expanded my scope of appreciation. I'll study the book closely so that, as with a libretto, I can understand at least some of what you guys are talking about and perhaps even sing along from home.

    I still have the gold one, for the moment. Contemplating listing for sale but not sure where the market is on them. In addition to the ones listed i also had a square pusher gold one and an all silver dial round pusher one. Alas, the collection is gone never to return. I can't afford them now.
