I just choked on my drink reading that.

 

that blumus is a nice clean watch

 

I agree. That is a fine looking watch.

 

felca chrono

this is interesting..what's up with the pink telemeter tract?

also looks like one of those blue shimmer dials that are always flaking, but this one looks contained.

i can't help to think that this dial was worked on in some way

is it missing a bezel,..i can't tell?

still,..if it isn't missing a bezel 200 is something to shoot for with the best offer

With the Tachy around the outside of the dial, I don't believe it had an exterior bezel.

I found another Felca online with pink script. Makes me believe it's original

 

Felca is original, has a bezel but it's just a slim ring like the Carerra. Deep blue dial has gone to denim but isn't flaking as noted- actually is attractive with the brass coming through. Lettering all appears to be there and the lume pips are original. Has a 7733 and It's a nice buy with a make offer.

 

nice catches on the felca. have to think 300eu is in play. for that amount it seems like a really good looking watch at a great price.

i'm gonna send an offer

 

Good luck!

 

Go for it!!!

 

no go for 200 eu..lol..

i have another watch in play and i don't want to extend myself right now with a higher offer. if that one is off the table i will bump to 250 and then 275..

what can i say,..i'm a cheap bastard

 

i'm sure somebody will buy this zodiac chronometer pretty fast with the info i will give.

i offered 130..he came back at 230 from a list of 350 or b.o

have to think there's more wiggle room at 230 as well. my guess is he'll take 200 and if u equate that to usd with shipping it comes in under $250..he might even come down to 175-180eu

it's just too small for my liking, and as much as i want it, i will never wear it.

it's missing some tritium at 1 and 6..but the watch looks pretty solid

Nice watch but 34mm isn't small to some of us
Chronometer grade is interesting and it's stamped on the movement, worth it for the price and the missing lume can be filled by a watchmaker who can color match and blend. Would be a nice addition to a chronometer colllextion.

 

Sorry Buddy, I sort of stole this from you. If it helps, he wouldn’t accept €300, so had to go beyond that, also have to pay by wire and open an account with a forwarder to get a shipping address in Germany.

 

I wouldn't do that. If you can't pay through eBay via PayPal, I would be suspect

 

I had posted about this watch, then realized I really wanted it myself. so I deleted the post and went ahead and paid the BIN price. There was a make an offer option but at $18 plus $3.99 shipping I did not bother haggling.
Never heard of the Brand "PRATINA" but a quick search revealed that it has some collector interest and similar models are going for several hundred.
Its apparently a Swiss made German brand.
The case back engraving peaked my interest and curiosity.
Supposed to be in good running condition.

 

He has 2,000 in his history and the ad states Germany only for shipping and payment by wire, It’s not huge money, and I really want it, so I’ll take the risk.

 

Understood, and he did have good feedback, I'm always just leery of eBay sellers who don't go through PayPal. I get that PayPal is not seller friendly, but as a buyer- yeah, it's friendly to me.

He came down to €180

 

I have been surprised over the years the number who say no UK shipping will agree to if you just ask.
