    Ever since I learn't of the 3 register 40's and 50's Universal Geneve and Gallet Chronographs (Thanks to Hodinkee and the wild wild web) I have been obsessed and wanted to get my hands on one. I especially loved the tri-compax that Ben picked-up a few years ago with the cool/funky numeral '7' which can also be found on the early Gallets. Well ladies and gents without further adieu...

    Just had it serviced last week... all original but had to get a new crystal, old one was pretty beat-up. Enjoy!

    Thank you dsio and timeismoney.

    The watch is 35.5mm without crown. Strangely lugs spacing is 19mm. It's a bit harder to find good nato strap options for that size. The nato in the photos above is 18mm

    I'd go a 19mm shell cordovan strap, would look great on a steel case like that.
