Fantastic! Quite an accomplishment.

How's the time keeping?
Any tricks you want to share about setting the chrono hands?


That's quite a job!
Now about setting the hands, check this video out:

The way the sun reflects in this special brush pattern dial is just amazing. Cal 5012 Lenania chrono. Heuer had one identical made for them as well. 馃榾

Hi Stewart,
What is the case reference number (inside of case back)? If it is a Lemania it will normally be a 3 digit number with (optional) a "-" and a sub number.
Example 883 or 883-68.
I have plenty of examples of Lemania made complete watches where other makers have had their own brand name put on the dial.
馃槈

It has a 4 digit number 2258.

Just got this back from Al yesterday and will be wearing it for a few days. I'm using my Aqua Terra bracelet for now but it looks pretty good.

So most likely not a Lemania case ref.
The one I have in the WRUW thread today have an Omega FIFA case ref number. I think that during the bumpy 1970s they took what they had in order to get some cash flowing.....,

Wearing my catch of the week. Movement dates from 1970 (32 million), and in great shape. All original as far as I can tell...

95 degrees and a million percent humidity today. My fiance found this 30mm watch in my box so we know where it is going.
I wish I had a camera that showed how sharp the edges are on this watch!

I was hoping someone would buy that before temptation got the better of me. I told myself if it was still there after the weekend I'd have to pull the trigger. Having a full package was what was drawing me to that one. Nice catch!

Finally got around to trying out my new nsa bracelet:

It's not the hair puller I thought it would be. That being said, the edges of it are somewhat sharp.

Long story, boring: this watch was a gift from a builder in New Orleans to an out-of-state fire marshal from upstate New York. The state of Louisiana hired outside inspectors to combat influence peddling and rampant corruption related to the construction of The Superdome.

because the buyer wanted to remain anonymous, the original warranty card remained untouched.

My attempt at a close-up. Glad that I managed to capture the lovely sun-burst of the dial!
