I'm putting up for sale my Lemania Regatta. It's a very interesting watch with a yachttimer (regate) complication and the original lobster bracelet. Especially the condition, as being a watch from the 1980s, it's in fantastic shape. Haven't had a chance to wear it as the bracelet needs one or two extra links for my 19cm wrist, and I have too many watches anyway to go for the trouble of finding said links. Only the watch is included in the sale, no box or papers.

Condition
The following is me doing my best to describe what I see with the watch in hand, looking at the close up photos, and inspecting it under a 12x loupe. I'll cover any defect I can see, but please also inspect the photos yourself and let me know if you have any questions.

Dial is spotless. The original sunburst finish is intact, indices and hands are clean, and the printing is sharp. Lume is intact in the dial, hands, including the orange lume in the seconds hand. Being tritium, lume shines bright under UV light, but loses its charge very quickly. The acrylic crystal I polished myself and in the hand it looks great. Watching the photos later I noticed a bunch of imperfections. I could have done a better job, but it is what it is.

Case is in very good condition with minor scratches and microscopic dings. It's a large, bulky case and it's a miracle it's lived such a peaceful life. The top and the side retain the original brushed finish, while the side edges are polished. I don't think the case has ever been polished. Case back also retains the original finish, with light scratches and minor damage on the tool holes.

Bracelet is also in very good condition with minor scratches and retains the original finish. The clasp is a bit springy, in the sense that it may pop open easier than normal. I imagine adjusting the metal retainer (for lack of a better term) should make it hold firmlier. There are 4 links on the upper side and 5 on the lower. It measures almost 17cm from lug to lug and it should fit a 18cm wrist circumference. The same exact style of bracelet is used in other regate watches by Aquastar and Tissot, which broadens a bit the search for extra links if you'll need them.

Movement has no service history. Time setting is smooth. Regata complication starts and keeps time as intended. On the movement photos you'll notice some dark spots on the outside ring and a bit on the rotor. Those are from the melted gasket and I didn't want to risk any damage to the rotor (or elsewhere) by cleaning them in place. Timegrapher results show that it's losing more than a minute per day, but it has a fairly strong amplitude in the 240 range, so a regulation is definitely possible. A service would be ideal though.

Timegrapher Results
All the results measured with a Weishi 1000, on a full wind and the lift angle set to 52 degrees.

Face up: -73 s/d, 243 amplitude, 0.0ms beat error

Face down: -76 s/d, 239 amplitude, 0.2ms beat error
