A single post from Jan. 2013 here prompted me to contact the owner - found out he was local to me and after some back and forth online and over the phone we came to an agreement on a face to face deal. I remember the owner wanted to have it serviced before selling it and I told him I would purchase it as is. I had it serviced and it is presently in good running condition. I thought of posting it in the rarest watch I own thread but thought it deserved its own.
Definitely worth its own thread! The Museum Collection homage referred to these as an "officers watch" but the original is so much more awesome to see
Holy Moly …. this deserves it´s own thread. More Pictures would be nice, maybe it´s possible while in service ?
While the model itself is very uncommon the challenge is to find a white dial (original of course) and a bezel where the numbers are still deeply inscribed (essentially unpolished).
Gorgeous watch. I have never seen subdials like that, they seem to be budding out of the bezel. Ref #? Thank you for sharing this gem.
I'm sure I don't know what I'm looking at the way the rest of you do but certainly is stunning. Congratulations!
I think thats because of the distortion of the crystal @MSNWatch what a beauty! Didn't know there existed chronographs with bezel that early! Congrats!
I just found out that my father in law also has a 33.3 chronograph, bought new by his great uncle. It's fully functional, and has always been well maintained in the family. Will try and post more photos the next time I see it!
