I have to admit that I have very little knowledge and information about these pre-war Chronos, which makes me shy away from purchases at this time. Looking great, congrats to that catch. CC

To me this looks more like a version of the Valjoux 71...

Well it is 35 mm , porcelain dial ,Hand wound the movement is of high quality steel, the case is of stainless steel . Both movement and case are stampend The crown is not original . It still works but not accurate . I bought it 15 years ago on antique mar... 

I really don't know if it is Valjoux 23 , it looks like it

But the movement is polished with all fine lines . I can notice they used good quality steel.

Another good sign. [nt]

You should have it looked at by a vintage watchmaker! Best Blomman

Yes, you need to find a good vintage watchmaker for this kind of watch...

Update , as from the vintage watch maker

 
 By: americano : September 19th, 2016-13:38
Hi all , the movement is not valjoux 23 and we cant indentify the movement so i cannot find the spare parts . Could it be caliber 13 ?

Too bad.

Valjoux 71 is the closest I have in my library. But I don't have many chronograph movement specifications. Let's some of the experts can help here! Best Blomman
