Horological Meandering

Hello Everyone out there on the PuristSPro site! This is my first post on here and would like to introduce myself, my name is Jared I'm from Indianapolis In, I have been a big reader of the site and love the content and I'm ready to start posting. I have ... 

Looking forward reading more from you Sincerely D

Thank you

To your question, I suppose I have two...the IWC Portuguese Chronograph and my trusty Muhle Glashutte chronograph.

Thank you for the welcome. I knew IWC used the 7750 but didn't know Glashutte did. I have the 7750 in a Panerai and a breitling.

The 7750 is a proven workhorse and many brands use them as you already know.

Great pic a very nice looking watch!

the Valjoux 7750 is a true proven workhorse chrono movement, movement snobs' pooh poohing notwithstanding. I wear my 7750 (and variants and evolutions) powered watches with pride, along with my Venus, Piguet, Lemania, et al chronos. In fact the modified v... 

Hello Thomas, Thank you for your response, I'm so glad I posted! I knew the 7750 was used by a lot of brands so it's very intersting to hear from everyone about that wide range of brands.

Welcome to your first post. I have at least one watch with a Val 775x base. Bulgari X-Pro P10 PuristS Edition Regards, MTF ...  

That is great looking! I love the dial it pops out at you.

Warrenjared1 The reason for the "popping out" dial is because it is 3 dimensional with different markers printed on different layers of solid and sapphire dials beneath the watch glass. See photos by other owners... ...  

Wow that is nice looks like it wears very well.

I don\'t have that famous chronograph movement in my watches to share any photos unfortunately Looking forward to more posts and sharing from you and hope you enjoy our community here Cheers Robin

Thank you, I'm already enjoying the posting, don't know why it took me this long to start participating instead of just reading them.

In some excellent military watches, such as Hamilton, the Royal Navy one. You will find the same manual movement in the Tudor Homeplate, ref 7032, which is very sought after. The problem of the 775x and 773x? They don't have a column wheel, but cams for t... 

Great to hear a little about the 773x. I don't think the cams take away from the reliable at all. Do you think the use the cams cause it makes servicing the movement easier?

We are delighted that you have made your way out of the shadows with such a great question to post. Looking forward to more questions and posts from you. :)

I'm glad I made my way out from the shadows to. I'm having a blast with posting! I'm thinking of my next topic now love to hear other watch lovers point of view on why or what they like in watches.

A chronometer-grade version. Regrettably, my eyes have become bad enough to take the fun out of wearing a chronograph.

They make some very lovely time pieces! Thanks for responding.

I have also enjoyed reading your post welcome to the posting to.

. . . but did, for a few years, ensconced in a Fortis Flieger. That watch was given (yes, as 'away'!) to a friend, who's had it ever since. He's got a few watches, including a vintage Rolex, but the Fortis . . . . . . is the most accurate, still runs well...  

Great to hear how many different brands this is in. It is a great movement I live they way it vibrates on your wrist as it winds! Thank you for your comments!

I haven't worn this watch in over 5-8 years .... Maybe it's time to whip it out from the dust :) Cheers, Anthony ...  

Anthony that is a very nice looking time piece!! That\'s you for sharing in the post!!!

Took it out to wear about 5 days ago.. ...  

Always loved that omega! I almost bought the blue dial version. Thank you for adding in to the post!!!!

As to the Valjoux reference I need to dig around but my Rolex Tudor Monte Carlo 7159 has a Valjoux movement if memory serve me right but not the 7750 workhorse. Welcome to the forum. Bill

For the warm welcome. I\'m very glad I have posted and can\'t wait to start up my next post topic for conversation. I just love talking watches with other watch lovers.
