Up for grabs is an Omega Chronostop driver's watch, ref 145.010

Movement - The Cal 865 movement works and keeps reasonable time, but will likely need a service given how long it's been sitting. This is the only one of this variant I've ever owned, so I'm not 100% certain how the 865 is supposed to work. When you hit the chrono button to stop the watch the sweep second springs back to zero. I read on a thread that if you hold the button down it should stop the hand until you let go, but that isn't happening on this watch (it springs back even if you hold down the button), so it either doesn't work that way for all of them or this one needs to be fixed.

Dial/Hands - The dial and hands are attractive, note the spots on the dial between 10:00 and 12:00 that I tried to get in one of the pics.

Case shows wear, nicks, dents and scratches as you can see. The case back has opening scratches. The crown is a non-Omega replacement

Sold on the correct mesh bracelet, ref 1120/116. It's sized a hair under 7 inches right now, and appears to have plenty of room to adjust out on both ends

To leave some room for the service, I am asking $790 USD shipped in the U.S. via priority mail, international shipping is extra. Payment via wire or paypal with references. I have references on this forum I can send or you can search the reviews section for my name. Thanks OF for the space!
