John C. SmithHanhart Fliegerchronograph
Hi, I recently aquired an original WW2 Hanhart Fliegerchronograph, that is missing the bezel, crystal, hands, and balance cock jewel and inca spring. Can these parts be found? If so, can anyone suggest someone to do the repairs? Any and all replies are greatly appreciated. Thanks,

Enzo LiguoriHi John,
the crystal, hands and the jewel assy will not be a problem but the bezel would as it is an obsolete item since long ago....is it a two or one pusher? would you post a pic pls? my opinion is that you need a bezel before to invest money into the repair...

John C. SmithEnzo, Greg told me that you were the person to talk to about this watch. It is a two pusher, and I will get some pictures taken sometime tomorrow. I already knew that the bezel was going to be tough to find. The watch had a rotating bezel. I don't suppose that a bezel off of one of the current Fliegerchronographs would work, would it? This watch was purchased along with a whole box of watches, and I thoroughly searched for the bezel, but it wasn't in the box. I would like to see it repaired rather than having to sell it as a parts watch. Thanks,

Enzo LiguoriHello John,
i understand.....i will gladly look at the pics you will post....sadly you did not find the original bezel, the fact is that the recent bezel is different in style and dim.
By looking at the watch probably it will be possible to see which way to go....what is the S/n stamped on the caseback and on the mvmt near the chrono bridge?
rgds to all

Greg CrockettLooks like an original band, always a plus on these. It's unfortunate about the bezel, but keep looking.
