A 1940s Rima Chronograph housing a Lemania CH27 movement. The pusher feel on this is fantastic.
I wasn’t convinced when I first got this watch. It came on a reddish brown vintage NOS strap which is probably worth a pretty penny but just wasn’t right for the watch. The dial is a green/gold colour depending on the light, so I initially put it on a green suede strap... but still didn’t fall for it!
Then Bulang & Sons started offering vintage style pigskin straps, which I’ve always loved but are impossible to get hold of, so I had to get one!
I think it’s pretty much perfect, and for the first time I’ve really found myself falling for this watch with this strap!!
It’s a fantastic watch, very unusual dial and interesting stepped case with slim lugs, and of course that superb movement. It’s 32mm but wears really well and I prefer small vintage watches so it’s perfect for me.
Let’s see if it can be a keeper!

This looks really cool, what's the thickness on this? Do you have a profile shot?
