FS: Top Dugena “Poor Man’s Carrera 73353” Chrono + Box

I am offering for sale this near-mint Dugena chronograph with beautiful midnight blue dial which, as the crowd here certainly knows, is nicknamed a “Poor Man’s Carrera 73353”, due to several identical Heuer parts used.

Details:
► Cushion shaped stainless steel case in almost impeccable condition with original factory finish and edges so sharp you could actually make use of them for a shave, minimal marks above the crown
► Deep or midnight steel blue dial with sunburst finish and applied hour indices, silver-white subdials and tachy ring (rehaut), in perfect condition with fully preserved luminous material
► Thin hour and minute hand, also with fully intact lume, black subdial hands and a bright orange central chronograph second hand that shines incredibly bright under UV light
► Original unsigned crown and fluted chronograph pushers
► Brushed caseback with shallow imprints, still legible
► Acrylic crystal in excellent condition
► Workhorse Valjoux 7733 handwound movement, starts, runs smoothly and keeps time with a (recorded) deviation of less than 5 seconds per day (measured laid down, service history unknown); all chronograph functions (start/stop/restart/stop/reset) work flawlessly and the chronograph second hand returns exactly to the 12 o’clock position
► Comes with a nicely matching textured black leather strap with small holes, tapering from 20mm at the lugs to 14mm at the buckle giving the watch a perfect vintage appearance
► Plus with a red triangular Dugena vintage watch box

Dimensions:
► Diameter: 38mm excluding the crown
► Lug-to-lug: 44mm
► Height: approx. 12mm
► Lug width: 20mm

Price:
I am asking EUR 1.400,- plus international insured shipping according to destination.

Pictures:










The watch is located in Austria (EU) and so am I. I do have plenty of international references from various watch enthusiasts (also known here), so please feel free to ask for them.

Just for the records: I am a private collector and, therefore, the watch comes without any personal guarantee given by me. Nevertheless, I am offering to give a full refund less fully insured shipping expenses in case the piece sold would not be as described by me (within an inspection period of three days and to buyers from within the EU only due to the complex customs procedure in case of an overseas deal).

Thanks for reading and thanks to the Chronotrader platform and its host!

Kind regards,
F.Antl
