Poor mans Daytona bimetal......and a lot harder to find!

Bought this one from overseas approx. 13 years ago, a rare bimetal Speedmaster automatic with a Valjoux 7750-based movement. At around 38.5mm it's the same size as the Speedy Reduced but a little thicker with a sapphire crystal.

Much as I like it, it doesn`t get a lot of wear, but I don`t plan to sell it. Could also do with a service, it's on the 'to do' list!

Like most bimetals, it'll divide opinions, always reminds me of the bimetal Daytona. Bracelet's nothing like....but neither was the price!

As a 7750 movement owner I love a good wobbler and the bimetal looks great to me. I’m definitely coming round to it as a look.

I like that, currently sporting a Bremont with a 7750, the wobble is certainly different.

I had the same watch in a different colour scheme (3513.33) and loved it. I always thought the rotor was quite noisy compared to other automatics I’ve had.

Like that quite a lot, though to be fair the TT has now truly 'bitten' me.

I prefer these as Daytona alternatives. (This one is for sale btw)

Having tried this on, it wears lovely.
Must be something wrong with me, I keep saying this about the dreaded two tone nowadays.

It's my attempts to brainwash you, Guy!

All my watches wear lovely, you should know that by now:smug:
