The subdial hands are original-type flat-end hands, not the usual pointy replacement type. Other hands are relumed or replaced. Nice looking watch... will probably sell around that price. Maybe add $1k these days for the bracelet and box.

I may be completely off base, I've been trying to research these becasue I really want one, so if anything I say is wrong please correct and educate me.

I thought the subdial hands were supposed to be thinner for a 69. Along the same year, I thought the lugs were supposed to go all the way to the case without a "break" or "line" when it reached the head of the watch. Still going along the same year, I didn't think 69's had a star on the caseback? Oh, and am I missing something but it appears that the "T" is missing at 6 oclock where it says T Swiss Made T

Like I said, I'm still learning.

It's not a first series Pete, but slightly later ('70 is my guesstimate, same as mine). None the poorer for that though. In the advert it says 'production date: 1969' - which is true for the model. To be honest though - I don't think there is any 'official' date brackets for the various series, at least not that I've seen; just an extension of thought that it was produced for 3 years and came in 3 sorts of version therefore the later numbers were probably 70/71.
Like you - I'm still learning though.
The dial is spot on for that series - the 'A' in 'Automatic' slightly to the right of the H in 'Chronograph' and only one 'T' to the right of 'Swiss Made' and the 'El' nearly touching the subdial - no problems at all with the good, clean white dial.
Very nice, sharp case with original graining, likewise the bracelet by the looks of it.

Pete are you sure about the T SWISS MADE T ?

Hi GiGi, no I wasn't sure about the t Swiss made t. Like I said I don't know as much as I should and I am still learning. It appears that there is only supposed one T and not two as I thought. At least from the images I am looking at today. It sure is a gorgeous watch! A bit more than I have saved unfortunately.

Nice condition but it seems to be another one with a replacement movement. The 2542 is a 21,600 vph movement and the Autosport Luxe states 28,000 on the dial so it should have either a 2562 or 2572 movement.


A franken that went for $580! 😲

Blue Datron with GF bracelet, a nice way to get into Primeros...as they do not certify working, should go for low $1K

It looks like the little applied star beneath the 12 is crooked, and that they tried to shoot around it with oblique photos. Bugs me. Otherwise nice.
