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:

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

Still a 7750 derivative movement in them
They’re ok, same as all the others really

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

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?

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
