So today is the first of july, It was time for a mothly chronograph run on all the watches, while I was making love to my sweet Chrono-Matic 2112 I droped it on the floor, not very hard or high for that matter....but now the chornograph doesen´t stop or reset on my command..... not good.... First day of vaccation and it´s all ruined! :(
Have to send it in....

So....hold your watches tight!

Just sent it.... just hoping I can keep it as original as possible.... wouldn´t mind spending some extra money If that means getting it back in good original shape.
It had som small dirt particles on the dial that I now have the oppurtunity to remove so....not all bad :)

Thanks for the comfort thougt Roff!

From one chronomatic owner to another, it breaks my heart... :(

Get it fixed ASAP~! Good luck... hopefully the repair bill won't be too hard on the wallet...

Good luck with the repairs.

I have exactly the same model.

I have been loking for a new outer bezel ring for ages.

Any advice. Tried looking on ebay, but no luck.

Well thank you! Came back over a moth ago in good condish, It was an easy, quick and cheap fix.

Specific part for this case are rather hard to find I´ve heard, unless you buy a doner watch...pretty expensive though...Mabye Roff or Vintage or some of other the vintage gurus will have some advice for you..

Best of luck.

I can't add anything - I don't know of a source of parts - sorry.
