Never seen a 15TL in such conditions but above all never with its own box and papers, which I believe are even rarer than the watch itself. The big radium numerals are just amazing!
I also believe that Lemania supplied Omega and consequentially Tissot with the 15TL calibre, renamed 33.3. For me the 15TL with, which stands in the Olympus of the chrono movements and which equipped some of the most beautiful chronos ever. However, as Ub...
Of course, in the Olympus does not live only one God
Maybe the 13ZN is the greatest of them all...
