    take a gander. Wrong bracelet (for now) but other than that quite happy!

    PS. Can anyone identify the bracelet? No number on the clasp, only "4-75".

    Very nice, hope it gets a lot of wrist time. :thumbsup:
    Going for original bracelet or vintage leather?

    Yes, that looks very nice indeed. Bezel is in especially good condition for age and the mellowness of the dial is beautiful. Will you try to replace the hands - other than the hour/minute - with aged ones, (those currently fitted look to be quite recent replacements?)

    Will probably put it on something leather. Maybe a B&L of some variety (only the best right?)

    Thanks! Are you referring to the chrono hand? And the subdial hands? I actually think they are original to the watch. But perhaps the experts can weigh in?

    Hands are correct / likely original, so definitely don't change a thing!

    That chrono second hand is valuable in its own right. Looks like a large disc on there.

    Edit: maybe not on second look. Still nice though.

    nice catch. The crown is replacement isn't it? would the bracelet be stamped Holzer?

    Great watch! Will look amazing with a leather strap as well.
