Thank you, Robin. You know how much I appreciate these old chronos. [nt]

Hello Nicolas!! This is a wonderful catch for sure! I love that dial! How not to love...
... such a dial? The blue scales, the snail scale, the double line dividing scale and minutes, and even the charming little letters employed for the brand markings make for a dial we view and exclamate: Wow!.
The thick flat bezel adds to the beauty of this watch with big personality and presence on the wrist due to its big (for the epoch) size.
I got a few old chronos with fixed lugs which required an special set of straps. I ordered them from a German outfit called Jurgens. Mr. Jurgens himself exchanged mails with me regarding my needs, and I was very satisfied with their service, fast delivery and high quality of leather and workmanship. May be it helps in your case, though I know you have a few great places in Paris to resolve this matter.
The pictures you show are a feast for the eyes, both the "gallery shots" as well those taken outdoors. Great post!
Keep enjoying and loving this marvel my friend!
Un afectuoso abrazo, desde las frÃas Pampas!

as far as Chronos go.....
....I feel I have what I want....BUT......when i saw this one of yours, it did suggest to me some hot min my thinking.
Beautiful watch, Nicolas. It is elegant, classy and special all at the same time. Just beautiful on many levels.
These vintage Chronos are magic, Joe. Not for everyone, not easy to find, not a matter of money. All I like. [nt]

for me....
.....it is a big decision to extend my Chronos. If i did, it would be in a direction like this....or maybe 6238s.
wasn't expecting to lose one...but it happened....
......the way i see it, on manual chronos...i am covered with the Retrograde, Rolex PN and 5070. Its a nice mixture of styles, across different manufacturers and in different metals. It sort of has the base nicely covered.
Sure that you managed to get an interesting representation of Chronographs.
But you miss an important one.. The king of all Chronographs... a Rattrapante....
No, no don't thank your evilish friend. 
Best,
Nicolas
there is a problem with that....
.....if you start with one Ratta, you need to get 2 or 3. So i stick on manual chronos with the three I have....
Honestly, I would play it this way. One, but a nice one, is enough. [nt]

absolutely lovely piece. So charming!
Although I'm sad you have the mono-pusher missing...
This is a good reason to enjoy the presense of this piece.
Really wonderful!
Thanks for bringing out the beauty of it and sharing with us!
