Re: I'd love to tell you but it's all brushed...

Good day,
Taking about the 5012...
About a two button Lemania auto chronograph...with the 5012 movement. Date,
It is a beauty! Big, black dial (41.5 mm
- measured at bezel, rotating one). Case = 11001/ 11015 ;
on back: "AF 11435". Serial number: O 4,006,000.
It supposed to be the South African Airforce issue,or rather,made for the S.A.Airforce. It was used by a jet navigator, apparently. Does anybody knows more about this type of watch: quality,how many of this kind were made, etc? Pity I have no picture. The second hand is sattelite, at 9 hr. Date at 3 hr.
1 SC for chrono. 1 central minute register for chrono. Lemania sign on central rotor.
Regards and thanks,
Andre'
