Nice but...

86K?

No matter how rare or nice... I can't appreciate it that much.
I think because--back in these days, weren't they all Valjoux based?

So... it's sort of like a current IWC 7750 based split... wonderful, love it! But... pedestrian in a way, no?
Even if it is so rare and old...
Just my 2C.

Please let me know if I'm incorrect here, re Valjoux.


As always thanks Nicolas!!

I am following some Grana watches, these last years, especially the famous WWW, which is the rarest among the " Dirty Dozen " WWW. I didn't know that Grana made a Split Seconds Chronograph. This one has just been auctioned, today, and went for a bi more t...  

This is of interest.

Although somewhat less so than before the auction.:-0 Is this watch from the 30s? Didn't the name "Certina" take its place? The picture you posted suggests the watch is in excellent shape.

I think Grana became Certina, but way back in the 30s or 40s.

This watch does not look that old.

Be careful with those results Nicolas ;)

This is the kind of watch you can pick up at a flea market for € 5,-
