    Hi all,

    Long time since I created a thread here, probably because I didn't purchase recently something that might raise some interest in this forum.
    Welle yesterday evening I had some friends at home and I couldn't resist and bought this from one of them. It is quite different from my usual cup of tea but I love it! :

    I suppose it is a ref CK2451, with a 321 chronograph caliber inside :

    Like the other early 2451 I have seen, it has the screw in caseback with engravings outside and '174' engraved inside :

    Lovely piece. The cracking of the dial is fantastic.

    congratulations, that is a real stunner!

    yours too @cristos71.

    My "to buy" list is getting huge, luckily it's tempered by my "lack of funds for" list.

    Yann doesn't understand the word "sell", only the word "buy".

    And he does well at that.

    That's unfair. I clearly understand that someone else can sell a nice watch (preferably to me)!

    This model has some heft on the wrist and with it's screwback case is a predecessor of the cal. 321 seamaster chronographs which came later.
    Have a couple and here is one of them:
