Can anyone tell me the correct dial feet position for the 1270? Does any other movement have the same position, such as Landeron?
I can not guarantee this, but most likely you will not find a dial matching from any other movement maker.
I am not even sure if the 127x and the CH27 has got the same dial feet layout.
And then the dial must fit the case as well....
Why not use a dial designated for the 1270 movement?

I would love to use a dial designated for the1270...29mm. If you know where I can get one, that would be awesome. 😀

They do surface from time to time. "105" quality branded dials would work fine.
If a CH27 or other Lemania dial would fit I do not know. Perhaps @Mitka could confirm if the 127x caliber dials have the same dial feet and layout as CH27 based ones?

SWEET!! I'm been watching. Thank you. It's 28mm vs. 29mm. Do you think that will be ok? Also, what cases are those for? I haven't seen a Lemania like that. Thanks again, Ben
The cases are for a quartz caliber regatta timer.

Talking about steep...nice...rare...surely peanuts for a Ferrari owner?


Looking good, but at least the hands are wrong.
Maybe other parts been used for assembly as well?

Price requested is.... a tad steep?
😲
Yeah, but it's hard to value specimens like that. I'm not saying the seller will necessarily get their asking price, but someone looking for exactly that watch in exactly that condition might pay up, because where else would he find it?

True, however I am suspicious to that one as I have seen the Ferrari badged dials around as spares, and the hands are incorrect.
Have anyone found confirmation of other watches of the same type out there?

To be clear I was referring to the NOS example. I couldn't comment on the Ferrari one.

Hope someone can assist with what I believe is a Lemania WW2 watch
It has H.S.↑ 9 & 1046 marked on the back.
I currently have a watchmaker in Perth Western Australia looking at restoring the watch.
Any feedback on the following would be a great help
1/ How to find out what military department it was issued to & when
2/ What type of watch bracelet is fitted (I assume it is original)
3/ Any contacts for spare parts

Hi!

1) You have a HS9 in "first execution". The watches was issued by MoD - UK Ministry of Defence, and distributed to navigators (and maybe others?) in the British Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm. H.S. stands for "Hydrographic Supplies".

1046 is the issue serial of your watch. An early number from my lists.
I do not have details, but I would assume the watch have been issued around 1943-1944.

2) The bracelet appears to be the original "bon klip" type. It is desirable to collectors.

3) The movement is a Lemania caliber 15CHT. Quite a few was used by MoD and there are sellers of surplus material and other spares around. eBay may be a good place to start, depending on what you need.

I have one identical to yours, but with a later issue number.

Hi,
I need some advice from you experts. I bought a Lemania chrono which I didn’t get yet. According the seller it has caliber 1270. On page 3 of this thread Northernman has kindly told the differences between different 127x calibers (thanks for all very useful info) and according this 1270 has not any shock protection. There is no mention of protection on the dial as most of 127x movements have. But isn’t it Kif protection which is on the picture of the movement?
Many thanks in advance for any answer.

Good looking watch! Congratz!

i guess the seller is either not fully informed, or refer to the movement as being 1270-family.
KIF it is, and should then be a 1275.
According to the fournitures catalog they changed shock protection to Incablock in 1958.
