    I am selling two lovely chronometres from the 1960's. Both run well and both keep time. They have original dials and crowns. I don't have the proper tool to open the backs, but if there are requests, I can try to twist them off with tape. :p

    They are about 34mm in diameter. These are really under-appreciated in the watch world. Both have inscriptions to their previous owners.

    $900 obo for BOTH, together via Paypal.

    The Chronometer's are definitely scarcer
    in those 2 models and the Birk's store
    printing adds to the appeal. GLWTS

    MP,
    Perhaps offer them separately? Maybe a bit higher on each piece? It may help.
    cheers,
    Todd

    p.s. if you do decide to go in that direction I'd be interested in the Centenaire...
