    1st post(!) - Lemania chrono

    Thanks for having me ;-)

    My only militairy watch. Single pusher Lemania chrono with double issue number on the back. Strap is ABP (elephant). The small crack in the dial paint just adds to the assymetrical character of the watch, initiated by the lovely case.

    I do believe yours might be the watch I have always been looking for, without ever realising until now.
    Welcome.

    Nice watch with character. I like single punshers because of the simple and archaic features.

    Very nice indeed. I would love a black dialled one of these.
    It would look better on a NATO!

    Jimmy, I would have pretty well any watch in your collection, but yes, that Lemania would be great!

    I like both, black and white. Very nice watches:) I focus on German Military Chronographs, but one of these would be a nice addition.

    Holy thread resurrection! But seriously lovely watch. One of my absolute favourites...

    Gorgeous watches.....

    I just posted this one to a lucky new owner.



    Fortunately I can still choose between the other two when I fancy a military chronograph on my wrist.



    I think these Lemania chronos are still undervalued. They're a good size, beautiful to look at (IMO) and have fantastic, robust movements. There are also enough variants to keep collectors happy searching!

    Best wishes,
    Martyn.

    Great trio Martyn, as ever you have great examples. Is the middle one the watch just back from service? Looks like they have done a great job on it.
    Regards
    Paul

    Thanks Paul,

    Yes, they're lovely watches. Both of the symmetrical watches have just been serviced. The HS9 needed a lever replaced, but otherwise it was just the usual clean and lubricate I think. They're running like tops now!

    Best wishes,
    Martyn.
