Off topic watch chat for the horologists out there

Very nice. I have the early 7750 Orfina branded version, but I might look out for one of these later ones too.

Lovely example.
I’m still waiting for an original drab green one to come back on the market

I passed on this one about 10 years ago, and have been kicking myself ever since:

Looks good Andy

It’s a case and dial design used by many over the years featuring both the Val 7750 and Lemania movements

Here’s a group shot I took all of 7750 watches, all carrying a common theme and from different brands

Bootsy, have you had one of the Sinn versions? ( different movement )

Still a 7750 derivative movement in them

They’re ok, same as all the others really

I got my 7750 out to wear

Often described as a workhouse of a movement.

Easier to find bits for and service too - than the 5100 that is which has a few plastic parts inside! All be it a better movement in my opinion

Seems like too much money but ...

Far too much

That green one above that I considered buying in 2010ish was described as NOS and at 3000 euros I decided it was too expensive (still regretting it, yes)

Fast forward to now, I wonder what its value would be in similar condition and rare colour. Any indicators, Bootsy?

[neilbardsley]

I would of passed that at 3k EUR in 2010.

I guess you could pick one up for that now? Lets see that Thomas says
