Found this vintage Minerva chrono circa 1969 that I bought for a song. Slapped an orange nato on it and voila, looks at home. ...  

That is a find! I'd have snapped it up, too . . .

. . . had I run across it in a pawn shop. Any idea as to the movement? Way back when, Minerva produced their own chronograph movements, but that period ended sometime after the '40s. Cordially, Art
