FS: Certina Chronolympic Regatta - For sale at reduced price

For sale is my beautiful Certina Regatta.

For those of you that dont know, this watch was featured in Talking Watches by Hodinkee:

CASE: The case is in great original shape with usual wear and tear. Original brushing is still present. Crown and pushers are all original as well as plexi which could use a polish but in my opinion it should be exchanged (for water resistance purposes).
DIAL: The original dial and hands are in very good condition.
MOVEMENT: This watch is the only watch that houses the Valjoux 728 movement. The valjoux 728 was based on the Valjoux 72. Certina modified the movement with the removal of the minute subdial as well as second subdial, keeping only the hour register in place. The movement has 17 jewels and is referred to as Caliber 29-064. The watch keeps excellent time and all chronograph functions works as should.

The watch and I are located in Sweden. Shipping worldwide, cost to be discussed with buyer.
Plenty of references are available upon request from prominent members of this forum and many other.
