I cannot remember exactly where I?ve seen these recently but my memory says it was on a Chinese ebay site ... I might be wrong.
The ?V7765? struck a chord because you used to see that with the ?V7733?. I got the feeling that the next big Chinese invasion would be copies of everything using bona fide Swiss movements in Chinese made cases.

Whoops. Missed the bezel.

Looks the same?
Jim
I think Bob's ID'd it for us. :thumbright:
Why doesn't the seller state O & W in the first place?
£350 from Chronomaster - pretty good value I reckon!
Jim :?
In make it harder to do a search and find out the new/used prices, etc., I would guess.

Because I think Mr W dips in the same pot as others ... many of these watches are generic. The CWC for around the same money is a cleaner design IMHO.

I agree, albeit not with the case. Couldn't they all use a split-second outer chapter instead of a minute chapter as well? They are mechanical chronos after all...The CWC for around the same money is a cleaner design IMHO.

You must be joking :evil: . I prefer the cleaner look. ... and who can count in 4ths or 5ths anyway. :roll: :twisted:

Maybe because there is no O&W -logo on dial or on case back. Usually O&W -watches are good value but this model is not so much. How ever you can get it around 300 Pounds from somewhere else.
But a little bit more money you will get CWC 7765 what is steel cased compared to O&W:s chromed case.
And also (at least) closer to "real UK MOD" watch compared to O&W.

1: Why is this not such a good value?
2: You don't think this is a stainless steel case?
