    I’m guessing that’s why @Florent is selling off his collection. ;)

    This is one of my grail watches, furthermore this exemplary looks heavenly ... And HUGE. I wish I could afford it but this is definitely not the case. :( The fact that it's double signed is maybe a little plus ?

    @Jonatan I was selling since I needed funds but they are already spent (in something very special that need a service) ;) and that black Compur wasn't cheap too :whipped:

    what does Verga mean? Is it a reference to a dealership in Milan?

    I'm italian so I know what it means (for non italian speakers, it means dick).
    I was more after the origin of the stamping on the dial, if it's a well-known retailer from back in the day, etc.

    Too bad we jump from 37-38mm to 46mm
    why not a nice reasonable sized UG at 42mm ?

    I think the black dialed military Cairelli is somewhere around that size.

    Yes, it is. In Sala's bok there is a (smaller) Verga branded example.

    Was this watch commissioned or designed for a specific market or purpose? I had never seen this chronograph before.

    Easily- perhaps even gracefully- worn with shorts and aging Volvo...
