FS: HOGA 70s racing chronograph for repair ( Lemania 1873 )

Hello Folks,

I'm putting my vintage HOGA chronograh for sale. The overall condition is fair, the chunky stainless steel case measures 43 mm in diameter and shows some scratches throughout. Not too terrible for a 70s racing chrono!
The watch houses a high quality Lemania 1873 mouvement but it's missing 2 parts if not more.
The watch winds normally and the balance wheel is in motion. From what i could see, the watch keeps time as it should and the seconds register works flawlessly.
The problems are as follows:
- The central orange chrono hand seems to be stuck on the minutes hand and turns with it when the watch is wound.
- The crown doesn't set time and feels loose when pulled out then turned.
- The chrono function does not work at all despite the smooth pushers action ( when pressed they seem to trigger a mechanism either to start or stop the chrono ) maybe it's due to the lack of a small wheel.
- The small axis of the hours register is missing.

I'll be more thant happy to answer any inquiry, please feel free to email me!

Warmest regards.

O. Mastouri
