Shaved bridge and a not too cool back! Too bad - they are a great looking chrono if in original condition.

Those Selectrons are really nice pieces as well, shame that this one got ruined.

The Selectron name was owned by O&W, however there has been a lot of debate about whether all of the watches were made by O&W or not. Many are branded Chronograph Swiss (English spelling) which obviously doesn't rule out O&W, but is odd.

There are also these which seem decidedly 'un O&W' like (mid 70s I think):

Nice Paul, although to me the 6 always looks like it's fallen out with all of the other dial markings :poke: :wink:
