Vintage stopwatches and rally stuff
With interest in classic vintage chronographs, is anyone collecting rally gear? Stopwatches, timers, hub-mount odometers, Curta calculators?
Here's a few I've found over the years, would love to see others that might be collecting dust.
The Meylan and Omega dash clocks are typical of the period and identical to Hanhart or Heuer products, even made by the same companies.
The plastic dash mount with the Omega is 1967-72. More common (and probably for good reason: stronger) are chrome steel "fingers" that screw into the dash,
or a plate mounting 2 or 3 watches. Repops have become available lately. Hanhart makes a very attractive set suitable for the vintage tour crowd.
The Minerva timing board has one clock that's the wrong size & model. I'm looking for another like the center watch.
The Hanhart control timer is the split time type.

I've been following this pair on EBay - $1975 with 4 days to go.
Jim:
This is an unusual pairing of Heuers: two Monte Carlos with jumping hour discs, both with tachymeter faces, but one is a "three button" and the other is "two button".
Both are lovely looking watches but the three button is early style up to '67 while the two button is '68 and later version.
Note that the faces show small differences in font size and layout of numerals.

Super Autavia plus Monte Carlo
I recently purchased this set. Do you think that the combination of the Monte Carlo timer with a Super Autavia instead of a Master time clock is more valuable or less valuable? and do you think it is an original pair?
I'm curious to hear your opinion!
