WTB: Porsche Design by Orfina Chrono

[dommorton]

Hi,

I am looking to buy one of these as shown. Would prefer a working tidy example but won't rule out one that needs an overhaul so long as the price is reflective.

I'm in the UK so would need it shipped to me please.

Please PM me if you have one you would like to sell me.

Thanks

Dominic

Cheers for the link. That's the Military version though.

The one I'm after is the black civilian model with pd branding on the face, buckle and crown. Preferably with the Lemania 5100 movement.

Thanks

Dom

I thought Porsche Design watches were made by Eterna, who they own,

What he said.

The one I'm after is from the 70's.

Is it specifically the PD or would you include the similar 5100 driven Orfina, Arctos, Tutima, Rhodania, Tengler, Heuer or Sinns?

[dommorton]

Just the PD this time thanks Andy

It does say military, but some of the civilian Orfina ones got branded as Military, others as Royal Navy, according to this chap's research:

The casebook doesn't have an NSN. I can understand wanting a precise version though - I want one but would rather have one that's been issued.

Good luck with the search! You might try what I've done, which is to set up a Google Alert, that way if one shows up somewhere you get an email with a link. Chrono 24 seem to have quite a few listed, but I think they're just an aggregator, and I don't know if they do any due diligence so be careful. http://www.chrono24.com/en/orfina/porsche-design--...

I didn't know about Google alerts, I will give that a go. Thanks

Pics or it didn't happen

Not often there's PD interest on this watches thread. Here's a pic of my PO11. Aside from a nostalgic issue, I really like the watch for it's clarity. Pic is a bit old hence day/date not correct
