Good evening all

I am posting these pictures in the hope of getting some information about the watch. I believe it is from 1964 or thereabouts based on the engraving on the case back but that’s all I know except it does wind and run. Keen to find out model details and whether it would be worth servicing and / or restoring.

Thanks in advance for any info
Andrew

I think a Chronomat ref.808 with Venus 175?

Take a look here Andrew.

Looks to be the Ref. 808

Nice ,definitely worth getting sorted. The biggest problem will be replacing the sub second hand with a correct one ! Google images of original then keep looking on Ebay .

Be interested to know a bit more history on the watch , is it a family piece ?

Thanks all for the welcome info. The watch belongs to a friend of mine, it was his grandfathers and passed to him recently. Thanks again
