Hi all,

I would like to hear your opinions about this Chrono-Matic ref. 2111 with cal. 11 on chrono24.com:

http://preview.tinyurl.com/679opzd

The crown is not signed. Does this indicate that it is not original, or were some of these equipped with unsigned crowns?
Other than that it looks like it is in a quite good condition.

Thank you for any help you may provide.

The crown should be signed so it's a replacement. The rest looks ok but is priced too high imho. I sold a perfect one in nos condition a few months ago for $1500.

Crown is a replacement as Paul says, pushers may also be replacements - they look a little long.

Rest of it looks pretty decent, but agree that it's priced too high.

I noticed chrono24 is a good place for eye candy, but a lot of the prices are over the top...

Well, that's true, but at least you get some sort of guarantee from professional sellers.
