I love the old school chrono matic's and found this:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... 0755597686

But why does it say "Automatic" when it clearly isent... i thought it would ask the experts :) aslo is it indeed a flyback?

automatic yes, but no flyback. And price is in the upper range of reasonable, though seems in very good condition.

This is really in very nice condition, but the BIN amount in US$ would be still high but reasonable. They do come up quite often in auctions, seldom go higher than this.

not the best pic, but all I have lying around. Wears much larger than you would assume from the 38mm size, like all square designs.
