Hello watch fam. Up for sale is rare vintage 1970’s Nivada dato chronograph with tropical panda dial and valjoux 7734. This is the cousin to the other rare Nivada chronograph the datomaster. Stainless steel case measuring at 36mm. The watch was just completely restored and running perfectly. I have all repair records available. All chrono functions are working as should. The main spring, coupling clutch spring, 30 minute recorder runner, minute recorder jewel, crown tube and 30 sliding gear were replaced. Dial up timing was 0 secs per day with an amplitude of 351. Dial down was +3 secs per day with an amplitude of 333. Beat error was 0.1 both ways. Dial, case, crystal, pushers, hour, minute and center seconds hands are original. All of the original lume had fallen off leaving spots, so I had the dial and hands vintage lumed to match and had the center seconds painted. Some purists may not agree with this, but I think it made the watch. The sub dial hands that came with the watch when I purchased it were incorrect so we sourced some new correct ones. The crown is a newer Nivada crown since the original one was aftermarket. The case seems to be unpolished but please use pictures to correctly assess the condition. All in all it’s a beautiful patina vintage chronograph that’s just stunning to see up close and ready to go for another 50 years. I’ve only seen 3 of these for sale, don’t miss out on owning this stunner. The Bulang and sons leather strap is included and matches the tropical sub dials nicely. I have other detailed pics that I can send. The movement pic is from my watch maker during service. Watch is sold as is. Any questions please ask. I’m asking $3500 obo which will include PayPal fees and 1-2 day shipping. I am not looking for any trades. I have a few references on this and other forums as well as a stellar reputation since 2002 on eBay. I can provide all info at your request, I hope you can do the same. Thank you and thanks to TRF.
