It's a ca. 1950 Invicta Chronographe Suisse with a Landeron 48 chrono. Can't wait to get it! Seller pics...

Hi Tom -
Here I thought you went and bought an Invicta.
Oh. *That* Invicta. :-)
Absolutely beautiful. Makes you realize how terrible it is that the new Invictas have nothing besides the name in common.

Very nice one, Tom. If it is your first one of these, be very careful with it. These gold cases are thin as paper, even the horns are not solid ! You see the metal ring inside ? Itīs gives the hole case some stiffness, no joke.
But I like these old chronos, too. |>

Tom,
So, is it as nice as the seller pics? Lets see some of yours.Hey Robert, ask and you shall receive! Here are some of my pics. I decided I'd rather have a white or silver dial in this model, so I've already started an auction on this one to raise funds for the other.
