    Chronograph Movement ID Help?

    I've been trying to identify this rather sad looking movement...

    My best guess is a Landeron 151... to my untrained eye, it resembles this one

    I'm hoping someone can tell me if I got it right (or wrong)?

    Thanks

    It looks pretty close. Check under the balance wheel for an L crest to confirm if it's Landeron.

    Valjoux 72 has a column wheel. Definitely not this.

    It's been with a watchmaker for several months. He's not the most communicative (English not his first language) but apparently it's now running fine and ready for my wrist...



    ... and yes, I paid more for his service than I did for the watch (hangs head in embarrassment).
