Hello everyone. New guy here. I'm looking to pickup a Vintage Chronomat and saw this on eBay and was wondering if it's a good deal or where I can get something like this that is better.

Thanks for the advise.

Kev -

I just bought one myself, see a few threads down. Paid $3000. It's a pretty piece. Keep the size in mind, it's smallish at 37mm. Love the style though.

For comparative purposes, European Watch Company has a really nice one for $4500:

Matt Bain watches has another one for over $6000.

I'll defer to the real experts on condition, quality, authenticity. I'm a newbie as well.

Cheers.

To me this looks all correct and I think priced fairly. The watch on EWC is nice but way overpriced.
I think these are still relative bargins. Good luck!

I bought this watch and everything looks good but the second hand on the chronograph is way wrong. Does anyone know where I can get a replacement as I would like it to be correct. Plus the current replacement as you can see the paint coming off.

Fun piece, I just got one myself. The second hand on mine does not look that much different. I put a mesh band on mine, look killer.

Thanks Rob. I like your watch!

I guess it is going to be difficult to find the second sweep hand for this. The Top Time's in this era look to be the same. Does anyone know if they are.

Thank you in advance.

Kevin
