Help with Vintage Chronograph Calendar
Hi, first post here for me. Looks like there is a wealth of knowledge among the contributors and I'm hoping some one may be able to assist me with my research on this piece photographed. There is some detail in the 22 year old valuation.
I'm keen to know what it is called and if it is of much value as I have the opportunity to purchase it. Thanks for your help. |

Whatever it is the dial is at best a redial. Description is also strange: Rolex based on a Bulova?
Anyway: I think it is supposed to resemble a 6036 aka Killy |

I doubt it's legit but better photos would be required. The movement appears to be a Valjoux 73.

The answer is in the text “base model Bulova....” suggesting it’s a Franken with fake Rolex dial.

Anyway, I agree that 99% this is just a valjoux 73 based triple date chronograph from some other brand, with a dial painted to resemble a Rolex.

That would definitely be the final nail in the coffin.

A Bulex then. Not too appealing.
