Revival of a steel Bovet Mono-Rattrapante Chronograph Watch
I have managed to find a steel Bovet Mono-Rattrapante Chronograph watch relatively cheap but the downside is that the watch is in terrible shape and it is in need of full service and repairs. To make matter worse, there are missing parts as well.
