Just perusing the bay and saw these two puppies, a bargain (although I know they aren't cheap) at £16K for the pair, I'd imagine the pilots is worth that and some on its own and the other looks to be a very original waterproof 33.3, again worth big money

Wonder if anyone is brave enough to take the gamble buying them from Chile

 

Calling @CanberraOmega for a drop by look, think he is still over that way....

 

both look good and the price seems fine to me. I`d negotiate outside ebay and use paypal. should work for at least minus 15%. kind regards. achim

 

Wondered if the pilots watch has had a redial?

 

IMHO the logo and font does not look legit on the ref. 2077 (left watch) - it looks as if the script had been replaced/rebranded - with the original dial deriving from a Tissot or Lemania chrono

 

You're Right Tom. The dial of the Pilot Chrono is new. I'm the brave buyer who took the big risk to buy them from Chile.

 

Hi
You're absolutely correct. Under the logo you can see the shadow of the brand 'Lemania '. It is an original Lemania dial but rebranded.
I'm the buyer of these two chronographs.

Well done you, upload some better pics if you wouldn't mind, would love to see the watches in their glory! Nice to know they remained in the community

 

I'll do it next week as I'm still in vacation.

 

You gotta love 2yr. old posts being followed up on.

There are students studying studiously!

 

Just discovered my two watches as I searched on Google yesterday and decided to join your community

 

Welcome aboard @Chrono Frick ! Looking forward to some nice pictures of these rather beautiful watches :>

 

Absolutely stunning watches, I am only in the infancy of learning about these calibre 33.3's, they are remarkable watches but the prices are a little eye watering for some variations, especially the waterproof ones.

 

I believe the waterproof chrono is one of the nicest chronographs ever made. Especially with exciting dark multicoloured dial. Such a watch from Patek or Rolex would bring in auctions 2 Mio or more if exists. 2004 I sold one with the best black fully galvanised dial in 5 colours to a friend of mine for 6k € and that was a high price. Today it is 100 worth. With a simple silver dial is just 20k.

 

congrats on your two chronos and welcome on board

 

Yes, I cannot wait to see some great pictures of these, congratulations.

 

Thanks. Imagine I wired him 22000$ in 3 parts and another 1000$ to deliver them to a friend in Miami. How and why I did that? I don't know but I'd never do it again.I knew about the dial of the waterproof one but the pilots was disappointing as I was sure it is original. I found a dial for the 2077 and still waiting for the other. Almost impossible.

 

Saturday I'll add some pictures.
Where are you located? Everyone of you?
I'm in Vienna Austria.
