Just wondered what the hive thinks, any info on the company/watch would be useful as I know nada. My dad had it in the 70's but has since gorn off the rails somewhat. He lent it to me in '84 while I was travelling and for old times sake am thinking of buying the same model. The seller is asking a few hundred knicker and to be honest I would pay that for the sentimentality, but I also think that with it's hints of Benarus Mk1 and 60's mil styling, incabloc and 150m w/r that it may be worth it on its own merits...









I know there is a chunk missing from the lug and the bezel lume marker looks like it's dropped out

I personally would say that a 'few' hundred is a little on the strong side, it's not a rare watch and they do crop up on ebay for less.
I have a bit of a thing for old black faced chronographs and I haven't paid more than two hundred for any of mine. Obviously if you really want it for sentimental value, then that has no price ....
