Sure KC. Will see if I can dig one out It wasn’t a restauration just a service.

Crown fell off and a few other minor things. Good to have her back. ...

Love these vintage Minerva Chronos.

Here is another one. ...

Wow this one is a time capsule Nico!

By: jlc.thomsen : April 22nd, 2022-16:57

I am getting an itch if they also have a black dial version from the same batch of dial design and Valjoux movement. Do you know?

For this very same watch? I don't think so.

This one looks in mint condition!

By: Chronometer (aka yacomino) : April 22nd, 2022-17:39

Yes, I should have gone for it.

By: amanico : April 22nd, 2022-19:34

I was sure you had one. Seen it so many times.

By: jlc.thomsen : April 22nd, 2022-19:51

We should go and see the magic in Villeret soon. September? ...

Nice!

By: Chronometer (aka yacomino) : April 22nd, 2022-20:36

With great pleasure!

By: amanico : April 22nd, 2022-21:00

I would take it in a hearth-beat!

By: Chronometer (aka yacomino) : April 22nd, 2022-20:36

It would have a Minerva movement, I would have grabbed it without any hesitation.

By: amanico : April 22nd, 2022-21:09

I understand now. Nonetheless that dial has a lot going for it!

By: Chronometer (aka yacomino) : April 23rd, 2022-00:12

Yep!

By: amanico : April 23rd, 2022-08:08

Ah I see!

By: jlc.thomsen : April 23rd, 2022-06:18

Didn’t even think about it. Typical me.

:))))) I like you a lot, my friend. Don't change!

By: amanico : April 23rd, 2022-08:09

Haha thanks man!

By: jlc.thomsen : April 23rd, 2022-17:01

I couldn’t if I wanted. Too late. Lost in happy go lucky land.

LOL!

By: amanico : April 23rd, 2022-22:09

looks amazing!

By: Chronometer (aka yacomino) : April 22nd, 2022-17:39

Merci Yaco! I knew you would love it.

By: jlc.thomsen : April 22nd, 2022-18:34

No non-sense beauty, history and functionality in a very attractive package.

and so much character!

By: Chronometer (aka yacomino) : April 22nd, 2022-18:58

To die for! And still a master in understatement

By: jlc.thomsen : April 22nd, 2022-19:43

Here is the movement. He had to change the wheel and enclanchement to the column wheel as well. All parts still available for this Valjoux 72 movement, meaning that these watches can last forever if we take good care of them. ...

WoW!

By: Chronometer (aka yacomino) : April 22nd, 2022-20:38

Yes Valjoux 72.

By: amanico : April 22nd, 2022-21:00

She is a beautiful vintage piece!

By: KCLQMULKU : April 22nd, 2022-18:00

Any photos before her service?

Sure KC. Will see if I can dig one out It wasn’t a restauration just a service.

Ah, I thought it was a restoration given your comments about the crown. 😆

By: KCLQMULKU : April 22nd, 2022-19:17

It is a wonderful watch, and find the dial, the case, the size, and even the wear to be quite enthrawling!

Thanks for the sweet comment. Yes and it is still available at a reasonable point.

By: jlc.thomsen : April 22nd, 2022-19:32

Found this picrure from the seller primo 2021. ...
