Bas van Dorp, buddy in the show for numerous years now, is usually keeping his eyes open for a cool chronograph. He discovered this vintage Cyma Watersport chronograph from the 1940s in a watch shop in Maastricht, within the southern component in the Netherlands. Cyma is really a brand having a history dating back to 1891 , nevertheless they did not survive the quartz crisis within the 1970s only to become reborn in 2005. The present Cyma business has absolutely nothing to complete using the 1 that stopped about 40 years ago.

The hands are red gold coloured as you are able to see beneath and thoughts the the 12 hour totalizer at six o'clock that has the shape of curly fries, the normal seconds hand at 9 o'clock has a little tip beneath the pinion and also the minutes totalizer on three o'clock once more has a various shape.

The case back is really a snapon kind and has no specific engravings apart from what appears to become a reference quantity of some sort. Within the back side in the lugs, you are able to see a screw in every of them, which most likely holds the bezel or movement in location (difficult to tell from the exterior).
I do not know why Cyma known as this chronograph the 'Watersport' <a href=http://www.pavelburo.com>best rolex replica</a> best rolex replica , but I can consider it as a watch for the sailing sport.

Bas attached a leather pilot strap from his Stowa watch to this vintage chronograph. Given the size and era of his watch, a great option.
