Hello,

Can you recommend any reputable sources to approach for yacht/regatta timers?

I'm looking to buy a mechamical yacht/regatta timer with a 10 minutes countdown timer as a birthday gift to my father in order to commemorate our shared sailing adventures.

Although I found a wonderful source of encyclopedic knowledge on yacht timers, I can't find a place such timepieces are actively discussed or traded.

I'm especially interested in regatta timers produced by Lemania for Aquastar, Lemania, Omega.

My absolute ideal would be to acquire Lemania Racing Regatta from 1980s. Silver or black dial.



Thanks,
Rait

Try ebay/Chrono24/insta. Make sure it runs because some parts of the movement are NLA

For this ‘niche’ watch I believe there is no such things as a reputable source. You have to do your own homework and gain enough knowledge so that you know how to hunt your watch, and then no source can fool you (you have to be knowledgeable enough to vet your own watch). That’s how it works with 99% of watches I’m afraid.

Hi.
I suggest you PM @Mitka.
He’s capable of servicing these watches, and might also have some listed for sale.
Cheers!
