New Photos and Information re Gallet Chrono
In Response To: FS: After the Flea / Before Christmas – 7 Chronos for Sale ()

Five new photos of the Gallet are posted below.

In response to some questions about this Gallet chronograph:

  • measurement is 37 millimeters, across the dial (not including the crown)
  • screw-back case
  • crystal appears to be original, but has some scratches . . . I have not tried buffing it; buffing might remove most of the scratches; assume that would need to be replaced
  • I am not familiar with the movement, but it is very clean and properly signed for Gallet
  • chronograph operates properly, with accurate start / stop / reset
  • crown and stem feel right / solid (good resistance, no wobble, etc)
  • I do not know when it was last serviced, but I wore it for a couple of days, and everything seemed OK.
Please send me any further questions or requests.

All the photos are here -- http://www.onthedash.com/4sale/2012Dec/

First offer of $650 will take it; buyer pays shipping and insurance (required).

: A couple of weeks ago, Hodinkee had a flea market of vintage
: watches in New York City, and I sent five watches to be offered
: for sale. The courier that I used to send the watches to New
: York City had other plans, however, and the watches arrived at
: Hodinkee headquarters several days after the flea market had
: closed. A few days later, they were back in my hands.

: Notwithstanding this unfortunate turn of events, I would still like
: to sell the watches, so I have taken the five watches that have
: made the round trip to NYC, added a couple of additional
: watches, and now offer these seven watches for sale.

: I believe that it is fair to say that all these watches are
: “priced to sell”. Still, I am willing to consider reasonable
: offers. Purchaser responsible for shipping and insurance (which
: is required); payment by bank wire.

: There are more photos of these watches here --

: Thanks,

Gallet Two-Register Chronograph -- Decimal Scale

Year of Production: 1950s or 60s

Movement: Uncertain (many Gallets used Excelsior Park)

Notes: This two-register chronograph features a decimal minutes
scale, with red numerals and marks to match the “Decimal” on
the dial. Decimal minutes, rather than seconds, are used to time
automobile rallies, making this the perfect chronograph for the
racer or rally navigator. The Gallet brand was recently
recommended by Hodinkee, as a worthwhile chronograph for under
$1,000

Price: $650
