1930's Chrono, what do you all think? I am not up on the vintage market.

He claims this is a Ref# 2508 from the 1930's. Please see attached link to an actual #2508 from the 1930's and you be the judge if they look anything alike.

I think it looks like it is too good looking to be of such vintage and could be a fake based on all of these other pictures. All in my humble opinion of course.

I hope you are kidding.
it looks like my 9 year old drew that crown on with a eyeliner pen.

The case is definately aged and looks genuine, the dial is probably redialed which is not uncommon for these vintage watches.

Steve, the dial crown is representative of the painted crown used on some of the vintage chronos. Many of them did not contain the metal crown. The case is vintage, aged, but I'm not sure either way on the movement. I guess the bidding will tell for sure.
