FS: Valjoux 72 Panda Chronograph BWC Autavia/Carrera looks

Hi all,

just got this but I find it too small. At 37mm across the bezel without the crown it looks a bit like a cross between an Autavia 2446 and 2446c but is more Carrera size. Lugs are 18mm.
Overall condition is good, bezel turns freely without being too loose, a couple of scratches on the plexi, dial seems flawless with a Tachy outer ring which again makes it look like a Carrera/Autavia mix.
Central chrono hand is a dark metallic blue, the bezel seems black but with also a hint of blue depending on how the light hits it.
All functions work properly and it keeps good time (app + 1min after 48 hours) and has a reserve of app 36 hours.
Service history unknown, the V72 is unsigned which means the bridge or more may have been changed at some point as I've seen pictures of a Buttes Watch Company signed V72 online.

Looking for 1.350,- Euro delivered in Europe or best offer. Oversees shipping at cost. Wire or Paypal as a gift.
Thanks OTD and Chronotrader for this space!
