Thank you for the clarification.
I guess many of us are complaining that there isn’t any Lemania literatur and we appreciate your knowledge. I wonder if you ever think about writing a book about Lemania. Maybe it is terrible difficult to write a book like E. Lessners Omega 30mm but…

May I ask you for more information regarding TG 195. I don’t know anything about this model. I have seen one in a auction site and the price is now 1700€ still some days left. What is the TG195?

Cracking piece, absolutely love these 817s, they're one of the only models I'd start selling off my speedmasters for. Did you come across any (relative) bargains in your search, or are all prices for this model through the roof these days?

Ive found two in the last few years. Both were lucky, however I kinda made my own luck the second time round. First was a relative bargain (a wrongly listed watch) that I sold for the second. Condition was reflected in price, however I have seen some shitters sell on eBay for similar. If you can find one, I would say it’s Speedmaster territory. But we’ll worth it imho, as this is one of few watches that is aesthetically more pleasing…

When I bought mine I posted a bit here:
https://omegaforums.net/threads/lemania-tg195-new-arrival.11935/

They are not proper chronographs, but rather has got a sophisticated method for synchronising time. Swedish military only.
Good ones should fetch a lot more than 1700Eur.
😉👍

i would say both (but frankly this design is a touch nicer …). In recent times some really bad condition ones have sold for Speedmaster money on eBay.

Thank you for this information. Now I know what these watches are.

Welcome to our passionate little corner on OF

Here is interesting piece from a recent auction.

https://www.sothebys.com/en/buy/auc...nia-tg-195-incabloc-a-stainless-steel-hacking

The case back marking of the 3 Crowns or Tre Kronor, are to show its a military assets.
This is common practice for different countries to do. A separate topic in it self.

I know @Northernman has nine crowns but both he and the his watch are exceptional pieces.
The majority of the will come in 3 main groups.
No markings / Large etched / Small stamped.
A lot of this you can see on auction sites if they have "proper" caseback images.

Note of thanks for all the knowledge that is present on the forum from collectors-hoarders and locals.
Cheers P

Hi
if someone is interested, there is a TG195 in a swedish auction site. It will end today.
There is a problem with pushing the chrono button. The crown doesn’ t jump out.
If interested check in tradera at com. If help needed send a message to me.

Thanks tapaptpat for the info and link.
Now I am also tempted. But I save my money for an Omega and wait for sellers answer.

@Truva1 your welcome,
IMHO the one you've spotted is more attractive than any omega,
but i don't know what you are after so it easy for me to say. You'll likely find the same or better design in a Lemania but of course we are bit biased.

Going back to the Tg195 it in really good condition. Shame it photographed with "street lighting/yellow" it would be nice to have daylight photos to better judge if its radium boogie green or mustard. it will need a watchmaker to work on it. It's part of the package in most cases with a vintage purchase, this example is declared to have a problem already.

If you do go for it - Good luck / Lycka till -

You are right. Every vintage watch need a service. Who knows when the watches did get it.
He could have better pictures. At least he was honest and told about the fault.

And the price eventually ended up where I thought.
EUR3000+
