FS: Minerva 13-20 CH (large size)

Hi guys,

I've decided to part with this 1940's chrono.
As you can see, it's in a fairly good condition for its age. Dial has some nice evenly patina and the hands have some oxidation marks on them.
On the case there a some minor dings and scuffs, the pushers have some oxidation marks.
Previous owner claims the watch has been serviced in 2013 but did not have any service documents to prove this. Currently, the watch is running well: it's keeping time of under 10 seconds per 24, has over 40 hours of power reserve and the chorno functions as it should (starts and resets well). The crown is a bit harder to pull when setting the time.

This is the large sized Minerva at 38mm wide (without the crown) x 47mm lug to lug with 19mm lug width. The case is chrome plated with solid stainless steel case back, it's original and signed by Minerva.

The movement is the rare Minerva column Wheel caliber 13- 20 CH which can now be found in modern Montblanc watches.

The watch is sold head only, no box or papers.

If you would want higher resolution pics, just drop me a pm.

Asking 1,625$ net to me (or the equivalent in Euros). First one that comes with the asking price gets it. Reasonable offers will be considered.

I have been buying/ selling/ trading watches for several years now to fellow watch enthusiasts from all across the globe ( US, Canada, Australia, Netherlands, Croatia, Austria, UK, Turkey, Cyprus, Norway etc just to name a few) and everything went really well (including customs ;) ). More than glad to provide references upon request from omegaforums or wus.

Thanks for looking,
George
