Chronograph, Date, Weekday, GMT, Tachymeter: The PVD coating is in pretty good shape with minor wear on the bracelet and case. The steel is scratched appropriate to age. The dial is in nice condition, with a light patina on the hands and great readability. The watch keeps time well. The chronograph works as it should. The day / date "quickset" works without any problem. Original signed bracelet. No evidence of poli...shing or PVD touch-up. Dimensions: Approximately diameter 41 mm excluding crown and 43 mm with crown. 20 mm lug width. The winding crown was replaced during a cleaning in December, 2020. Serial number on case back is 35763.
This vintage chronograph is the same type of watch that Tom Cruise wears in the original 1986 Top Gun movie and in the soon to be released sequel, Top Gun: Maverick.
Important (READ THIS): The lame part. I don’t think that the recently installed winding crown is made by Porsche Design. The crown finish is too shiny and the logo isn’t exactly correct. Close, but not perfect. There are scratches and a chip on the crystal near the 10 o’clock position. This watch was just serviced, but not checked for water resistance. I believe this watch is original (except winding crown), but do not know provenance. No box or papers. US Buyers Only.
Update, Jan 11, 2021: Bracelet length is sized to fit my 18 cm wrist (about 7 1/4 inches). It can be shortened by about 2 cm by adjusting the snap clasp, but is at its longest setting. No additional links. I added requested photos to description.
