Again for today.

 

 

Likely my favorite non-original to watch bracelet combo...

 

 

 

 

Olympic Crown One Button “Monopusher” Chronograph May 1964. Seller rated it "B" ("There is a feeling of use, but it is acceptable for normal use") and in description said bracelet was Aftermarket. I think he under-promised and over-delivered on both counts. Based on the condition of the case, caseback (especially the etching), and bracelet, I'm not sure it’s ever been worn. The only flaw is some staining around the lume plots (which is not evident IRL). Japanese seller wouldn't sell to me, so I had a dealer in Japan buy it for me and send to his watchsmith for service. Its running 0s/d 317Amp and 0.1BE.

 

Quite remarkable and very well worth the effort! Well done you!

Wearing my late dad’s Rainer Brand Argus in honor of his birthday, he’d been 85 today. On the bench in the background is a late 19th century French travel clock.
