Up for sale is an Orfina Porsche Design / Lemania 5100 Chronograph that is currently part of my collection.
The watch and chronograph functions are in perfect working condition. Movement was completely serviced 6 months ago. The cosmetic condition from the case, caseback and bracelet is a 9.5 out from 10, showing just very minor desk marks (not visible to the naked eye). The crystal is perfect, NO scratches, NO nicks. The dial and hands are in MINT condition and the colors are bright and clean (no fading whatsoever). The bracelet and clasp are original to the watch. Currently the bracelet fits a 7-1/2" wrist, and I am sure I have at least one or two spare links that came originally with this watch. Caseback, bracelet clasp and crown are signed with the PD logo.
The only point that I would like to mention is that you have to operate the crown carefully. The thread inside the crown is tender and if you pull it real hard to adjust time you will end up with the crown on your fingers. The winding stem is perfect, it is just the thread inside the crown that is a bit weak. I believe a previous owner tried to pull the crown without unwinding it first and damaged a little the thread inside the crown. New crows are easy to get and available form several vendors, but I decided to keep the original crown with the watch since it is the original and signed with the PD logo.
Regardless the condition mentioned above, this chronograph works perfect and the above doesn't hurt the performance or ability to wear it and use it normally. Keep in mind that this is a screw-in crown, so the crown won't fall or get lost. Again, the crown is on it's place and it is working as it should. You just need to pull it out with normal strength in a careful way (without abusing it).
Asking Price is US$ 1,200.00 + Shipping Cost
I don't have any problem on shipping this watch Worldwide and receiving payments via PayPal (if buyer is willing to cover the PayPal fees).
I have enough references as a watch collector (not a dealer) and some positive previous great deals in the past with members from OnTheDash.
Thank you for your attention and time.
Respectfully,
Ernesto Molina
