**To Mods: Reposting because the info in comments wasn't showing up.** **Up for sale are three very nice vintage chronographs from my collection.** 1.Tissot: A very sharp Tissot PRS 516 in very good condition. Underneath the tonneau case beats a very reliable Tissot 872 movement, aka the Lemania 872. According to my research, this movement (and other Lemania movements from around this time) had been produced with Omega under a joint trade agreement, which may explain Omega’s prevalent use of Lemania-based movements as well. The overall design is reminiscent of many racing-inspired watches from the ‘70s. The watch retains its original crisp brushing, tritium lume, and largely unblemished tachymeter bakelite bezel (most examples show much wear). Scratches on the acrylic crystal can be buffed out. On the casebook is a stylized engraving of what I presume to be a previous owner's initials. Dimensions: 36mm diameter, 12.6mm thick, 43.1mm lug-to-lug, 19mm lug width Movement: Tissot/Lemania 872 Price: **$1200** More pictures: [https://imgur.com/a/FwhxC6K](https://imgur.com/a/FwhxC6K) 2.Dugena: Almost NOS. Immediately evoking the famed Heuer Monaco made famous by Steve McQueen on the racetrack in Le Mans, this “poor mans” version has everything going for it, fit in a more wearable round case. In fact, Dugena was at times in partnership with Heuer ([https://monochrome-watches.com/the-story-of-dugena-or-what-is-a-poor-mans-heuer-vintage-corner/](https://monochrome-watches.com/the-story-of-dugena-or-what-is-a-poor-mans-heuer-vintage-corner/)). While I can’t say for sure if this example falls under that partnership, the similarities are nonetheless striking. The sunburst dial and applied indices really glisten under the sun, while its original crisp radial brushing on the bezel carries the rays in all directions. The Valjoux 7734 movement ticking inside keeps good time. The only thing to note are the scratches on the acrylic crystal, which can easily be polished off. It will come on a like-new light gray Barton canvas strap, in additional to the manual, original strap, and hangtag. Dimensions: 39.7mm diameter, 13.6mm thick, 41.6mm lug-to-lug, 18mm lug width Movement: Valjoux 7734 Price: **$1200** More pictures: [https://imgur.com/a/UYMECeQ](https://imgur.com/a/UYMECeQ) 3.BWC: A charming little 70s BWC chronograph rocking the tried and true Valjoux 7733. The shimmering burgundy dial is the star of the show, with the creamy tritium coming a close second. The dial transitions for a super dark crimson red, to rouge, and finally a glistening velvet under direct light. The tritium on hands and dial match perfectly. It is in working used condition, keeps reasonable time given age, and has been looked over by my watchmaker. As is often the case (pun intended) with chrome-plated watches, the corrosion is very much surface level and does not impact the overall health of the watch. It looks more tarnished in the pictures than in real life, and on the wrist I hardly noticed it at all as it is quite recessed between the crown and pushers. It will come on a like-new navy Barton canvas strap. Dimensions: 35.4mm diameter, 13.3mm thick, 42.5mm lug-to-lug, 18mm lug width Movement: Valjoux 7733 Price: **$350**, or free if you buy the other two at asking More pictures: [https://imgur.com/a/8CiNNuK](https://imgur.com/a/8CiNNuK) Please refer to the pictures, and feel free to ask for any additional details. Timestamp: [https://imgur.com/a/BLHriYH](https://imgur.com/a/BLHriYH) Open to offers/trades, although a straight sale is preferred. International shipping possible on a case-by-case basis. Venmo, Zelle, and wire accepted. **My chat has been acting up, so please message and/or comment here first so I'm aware you've reached out.
