Woah. Where can I get one of these?
Captain Chronography sounds like a Saturday morning cartoon for burgeoning horophiles.
"Today's lesson is digital vs analog. Who wants to be first mate!?"👍

I totally get it.

They don't show up often.
They're normally one of the watches that the more professional vintage Chinese watch hunters/sellers are asked to find by already seasoned Asian collectors, and even that can take a while.
This one? I was gobsmacked. It showed up in 2017 on Ebay as a result of a search I'd had running auto for years. I bought it within minutes of seeing it. The same search hasn't found another one since.
