The whole lot of you enablers are going to derail my home improvement fund.

...... well, when I'm not getting derailed by an Omega or Longines.

I hate you guys - and I mean that in the nicest way.

Out of about 14 Lemania watches, only one has the Lemania name on the dial -

Oh, no, there it is again! 😒

Pure envy, nothing else 😉

Hey Martin! It's not going anywhere, well maybe to the watchmaker for a cleaning. I too have come close on a SAAF (5012) only to fail and see them skyrocket in value. That one and a Zenith Cairelli I let slip through my hands a few years back will haunt me until I pay - and shut- up.

I would suggest a whole brand forum!
Lemania is one of the truly neglected greats!
It does not help to have a owner that rebadge you into Breguet.

To give some ideas of the diversity here are some from my collection, all in-house calibers and of a lovely quality:

Only one in the stable and many of you will have seen it before, not going to let a little thing like that stop me showing it again 😉

Question mark over the dial as I really don't know but an 18K Rose Gold Lemania chronograph at $1600 sounds pretty cool if the dial is good

Looks nice. The105 is a lower end cam operated movement. "Sports range".
They where budget alternatives to the chro27 equipped ones.

I think the model shown in an extract from my 1956 catalog should match quite well. The dial on the eBay listing looks faded but otherwise fine IMO.

The dials came in different variants and was not directly linked to the references at Lemania. Designation OT means solid gold. Kind of smallish at 32.5mm. There are others in the catalog at up to 38mm diameter, still in massive gold. Have not seen any advertised so I guess those big ones are very rare.
The seller does go on about high finish movement. It is not! But it is a very decent quality!

That Lemania SAAF chrono is at the top of my Lemania wish-list! I had the chance some years ago to get one @USD 2800, but was outbid despite I added an appr USD 800 on top of the third bidders highest bid. It went one on eBay last week @GBP 3250, but I was unable to make a shot at it, due to the unfortunate fact that I´m broke after this years vacation! 😲

I like this piece a lot too and yeah, timing was never right for me either ...
