Rules: Postings must be an ad announcing an intent to sell, buy or trade. Full item description and photo(s) must be posted within the message here, not as links to other websites. Links to online auctions and other sites: Links to online auctions, dealer sites or other listings of items are permitted, but you should be careful to ensure that such listings will comply with our other ChronoTrader Policies. In addition, we request that sellers linking to online auctions or listings offer some benefit or accomodation to ChronoTrader readers (for example, some discount or an undertaking to end an auction early, to keep a watch "in the family"). Photos must be of the actual item for sale in its present condition. No counterfeit or replica products. No post for the same item may be repeated within 7 days, except to lower the asking price. Commercial dealers are limited to three unique posts per day. [More...]
On offer's a really great 1950s pillar-wheel Breathing Premier. 36mm stainless steel case has clearly never been polished; sharp angled and faceted lugs, scratchless caseback, clearly legible reference and serial numbers. Hands are beautifully blued, and the radium lume on the dial and hands matches and is complete--nothing's missing.
I got this as a project watch and have, for good or bad, taken on too many other competing project watches and have to let it go. The downsides of the watch are as follows:
1. Very light spotting on the dial. Only visible at certain angles, but it's there.
2. Missing its bottom pusher.
3. Top pusher's somewhat bent (it's functional)
The movement's currently running, and the chrono second hand starts/stops/resets; the minute and hour hands don't reset, and the minute hand doesn't track at all (though the hour does). It'll need an overhaul.
Asking $1400USD ONO on this. Happy to provide whatever's requested (references, more pictures), and to work out payment and shipping methods with buyer. Thanks for looking, and to Jeff/CT for the space.
