As pictures below.

Excellent 9/10 condition having had very little use. Recent full service (2017, receipt available) and keeps excellent time to Swiss COSC standards.

A search for "Ebel BTR Le Modulor 1911 Automatic Chronograph" on that famous auction site will bring up two available in UK at £1500+ and two from the US at £1300+

Nice skeleton back, spare links, unused case and pouch, handbook  and original guarantee card etc.

Lovely watch just not getting enough use.

£900 to include insured delivery.

Random blast from the past.

I bought this watch - the 1911 is a bit of geek classic in that it’s a chronograph with a date feature (the movement was later bought by Ulysse Nardin).

These watches only have one draw back (which depreciates them second hand) is that they take a proprietary screw-in strap which means that if you want a new strap for your Ebel watch, you have to buy one off Ebel and the most simple strap is just ridiculous money (£500+) 

So, a trip to a local watch / jeweller geek called Richard and for £50 he cut out the strap lugs and drilled holes to receive a standard strap bar. Like all craftsmen, his ‘done in 2 weeks’ turned into 6 months 😆 
 

Add a deployant strap bought new on-line for £25 and it’s done.
