    Looking to buy a jumbo Chronostop 145.007 or 145.008, Cal 865. I would be happy to consider any variations of these watches/bezels, in any condition. Naturally the better the example the more I would consider spending, but am probably looking towards the entry side of the reference.

    This watch would be for a gift for my brother's, and would be his first vintage watch. It doesn't have to be a collector grade piece, as I expect it to be something he wears and enjoys regularly. He has shown a lot of interest in vintage watches, and knows about the pitfalls that can come with them. Yet still, he is frequently admiring my modest collection. Let me know if you have something that you are looking to part with that could fit the bill.

    For reference, if I had been looking earlier I would have jumped on such examples as these:

    Thanks OF, and @padders.

    Now for me to spend a little quality time with it, before it's gifted to my brother for his birthday. Hopefully he doesn't start reading this forum before then...
