]]> Comment on Tissot Seastar Chronograph (Lemania Cal. 1277)… by Sakonioli http://thewatchspotblog.com/?p=1463&cpage=1#comment-435 Sakonioli Mon, 23 Aug 2010 22:34:41 +0000 http://thewatchspotblog.com/?p=1463#comment-435 Your Tissot chronograph collection is fantastic. I also have this Tissot Seastar chronograph. So far, I have had a question with this watch about the authenticity of chronograph second hand. The shape and style of the second hand in my watch is similar to yours. Mine is orange color. However, I checked several references of this model in google and found the other same model watches had another style of the second hand. See these websites below. http://forums.watchuseek.com/f62/strap-size-vintage-tissot-seastar-chronograph-211007-post1503695.html http://www.sometimeago.com/staext/images/1277063423IMG_8066.jpg Do you think this model has several types and color of second hand? Or, the style I have is not the genuine one. You seem to be a watch expert. I would like to hear your idea about my authenticity of the second hand.

I saw this post, so was wondering if you can steer me in the right direction in terms of who could do this? Is that you or can you recommend someone?

I just recieved a chronomaster from some auction near "the bay" and it arrived from Hong Kong looking pretty good. Has the (lesser :+) Landeron 210 movement, but dial is exc. broad arrow hands are original and show corrosion under mag. but look fine. I'll try and forward the photos. Got mine with the original Croton box and dial reads Croton & below Nivada Grenchen. Lume and hands have mellowed to a brown mustard tone. Bezel insert is very clean and it's a keeper now if my chonograph would just start and stop Ugh!!!. Seems that there are many small dial variations but the watches are always similar. Too bad they couldn't go auto to survive the Quartz boom. Saw Nivada display in Mexico Airport still alive in S. America. but were mostly quartz models boooooo.... Nice article and resto.
