Need help with chronograph.

[janreagan]

I bought this watch years back and have never found any info on it.
Please Help! :-s Alstater, Alstar Chronograph (As you can tell, it's pretty worn out, but it works perfectly!)

Movement Markings: Alstater, 17 Jewels, Swiss

Dial: I have seen an Alsta, but this is an Alstar by Alstater, I have never seen another Alstar.

Case: I know case markings don't often mean anything, but I noticed that on the back of the cover, Alstater Watch Company Inc. was stamped there. Also, on the outside, 1300C is stamped there.

Sorry the picture is so bad, if you need more, I will take some more later, now my batteries in my camera are dead. :-(

Any help would be greatly appreciated, Thanks!!

Never heard of it. But there's one here:

I've heard the Alstater name before. I think they had several brands.

I haven't heard of Alstar before (but that doesn't mean anything)

The link to the watch above is not quite the same, I've seen it before. Also that is an Alsta, mine is an Alstar. Thanks for the help though!
