Hey there, I have (from what I know) a 1972 Tourneau automatic chronograph. The previous owner had his insured value at $3200, but I'm not sure if that is B.S. or if he is telling the truth on its value. It is supposedly a 1 of 500 limited edition, and I cannot find any info on it anywhere! Please help, it is greatly greatly appreciated! Markings: Swiss, Stainless steel back, water resistant, 1054 Case: possibly brass? non-original band | ||

Does it have complications like a stop watch & calendar or moonphase? | ||

Yes, calender, and stop watch in the chronograph.     | ||

OK, I see what it is. It's like the Porsche design chrono made by Orfina. This is probably made by Orfina as well, value is around $800-900. | ||

Okay thank you, that is a great help! Do you know where I could get any more general information on it, or have you seen any others for sale before? | ||

It's a late 1980s watch. Movement is a valjoux 7750. Not sure you'll find more info than that, maybe try Tiurneau itself. | ||

I really doubt it would be a 1972 watch. Maybe 1982 if you push it. | ||

Okay. From what I saw it is very similar to a Heuer Pasadena. |
