Ah good to know! It’s definitely a Lapanouse movement - don’t know exactly which one, or what any differences between them might be... as I’ve only just found it I’m going to hold off until I’m certain I’m into it and not just buying it for the sake of having another watch...

I don't have anything useful to say other than that movement looks like a tricky bitch to work on.

That movement looks hideous. I wouldn’t pay £50 for something like that.
The earlier brown dial chrono pictured was probably a Valjoux 7733. Usually more like £200 - £250 watches in my experience, but dealers sell them for more by tarting them up.

You're right sorry, the Oriosa is 37mm.
But that Cimer is gorgeous. What is the movement? A quick google suggests that it might be a Lapanouse, in which case you'll have a very hard time getting parts to service it. I guess that's why it's cheap.
Edit: looks like it's a Lapanouse 2370, so some parts might be hard to get. When I was getting my Enicar repaired I had to track down a donor movement which was about £60. I'd take a punt on this at £375
