    Recently got this Telda Chronograph powered by Venus 170.
    I've been searching some accessories to go with it (esp. box), but no luck...
    Can anyone shed any light?

    According to this adPurchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network, their watches were "good" at the very least.
    Otherwise not much info can be found on my own.

    Judging by the Nicolet name, they were probably manufactured alongside the Nicolet Watches.

    You don't find too many of their non-chronograph models on eBay from a quick glance at least.

    Here's a Nicolet with 248 movement. Somewhat excited for this when it arrives :)

    Nice large registers you got there... does it have ref. or serial number?
    Mine does not have any apparently, wondering how to identify the production year.

    Neither does mine, apart from a caseback reference of 388.
