    Nice chrono flew in today

    Whilest looking for a nice pilot chrono with an 7750 inside, I stumbled on Revue Thommen again.

    It's "only" 40 mm large, but a chunky 14 mm high. Both sides saphire and a screw down crown with grip :thumbleft:

    Simple but classic, I like it :D

    Very nice. There's something kind of IWC St. Exupery about it, particularly the typeface of the numerals.

    Nice...and that diffrence between strap and bracelet makes it like you bought two watches at same time. Unfortunately never seen one in wild.

    Can I ask how this is wearing now you have had it for a while? I've considered these because they go for quite good prices on the bay and have a bit of the Khaki Chrono about them.

    Nice classic pilot style, not in your face at all.
    And RT is bang for the buck as well.

    Cheers,

    Daddel.
    Got a new watch, divers watch it is, had to drown the bastard to get it!

    Cheers Daddel, Any input is very much appreciated. I want a dark faced chrono and was hoping a Khaki might come up on SC but as yet nothing has appeared. RT might be an option. Thanks again

    Very nice watch! Congratulations! :P I just love chronographs with arabic numerals, especially when they are not obstructed by the sub dials.

    Revue Thommen also has a history of making aviators watches which is a bonus!

    However, I heard the rumour, that RT makes two different grades of watches: one - better - grade for watches sold via the ADs and another - only average - grade for watches sold via the internet. In any case, RT are great value!

    Great value and style, reminds me a little of my IWC 3706 Flieger.
    I really like the design detail on the hour hand.
    Good choice :wink:

    Lovin that one, enjoy.

    Without meaning any disrespect to Marco-T this is one of the internet only watches as far as I am aware. In terms of visual appeal I think these are far more attractive than their more upmarket models.

    love a chrono where the sub-dials don't "eat" the hour numbers - tasty bit of kit, that one

    Great looking watch and I know they are great value.

    I love the brand and have owned a few interesting RT models and would not hesitate in buying another.
