Here is my redailed vintage FL chrono.The hands are not original and as staed above the dial has been refinished. It carries a Landeron 149 movement. I am still debating as to keeping it or not.

Keep it, its very nice, original, kind of a dresser-upper chrono.

Pardon my ignorance but this is the first time I hear about the brand and the movement. Can you please direct me to some sites so I can study and research. It's nice and clean and I also think you should not let this go. Thanks.

The Landeron movements are very robust and gave good service.  Spares on some calibres are hard to find.  I have a chrono with Landeron 248 movement. Beautiful engineering.

Enjoy that chrono!  Good vintage chronos will only appreciate.hand6.gif
