Nice watch. Looks like their older vintage divers.

.. Looks like their older vintage divers.

With added chrono and it's gorgeous. And the relatively small hour-hand looks better in this context.

I like it too, and the flat pushpieces suit this case style.

Congratulations.

Nice catch! I agree with John, the hands look good on the chrono, but out of place on the non-chrono.

Very nice addition indeed.
But isn't there a Valjoux 7750 ticking away inside, or are those the specs of the three-hand model?

Enjoy,

Daddel.

Well spotted. It is a 7750. If indeed it was a 2824 (with a Dubois Depraz chrono module) the subdials would be in the tri-compax configuration.

Very nice, I do like that dial. :)

[dogpuf]

Really nice watch - what size is the actual dial?

Could be a watch to lust after

[Gary]

I think the Dial size might be 30mm but am not totaly sure.
