Ever got more than you bargained for?
So I bought this 1940s Heuer big eyes Chronograph on eBay.
I hadn’t set out to buy one - I thought I wasn’t that in to chronographs. But the patina lured me in.
So it arrived today and I must say - it’s blown me away. The patina even nicer in person. The size just perfect for me at 35mm. The pump pushers really make it I think. And then finally the chrono mechanism itself delights - the chrono minute hand dances around its marker at the end of each minute (but finds its place.)
What a watch!
Have you ever felt you got more than you bargained for in a watch purchase?
Fairly new to watch collecting. Super fast collecting journey! I've had a bit of everything, small gold pretty watches, large rugged watches, vintage British field watches. From Casio to Patek and eve...
Nice patina! That does look awesome. Nice find!
you got pics of the movement?

I’m keen to avoid opening it until I need to - but it is the same as this:
Wow the patina on the dial is gorgeous! Hope to get an update on any servicing requirements and resulting performance! Congrats ❤️🤙

Seems to be keeping great time after 6 hours + and chrono worked fine over 20 minute test.
