... yeah the modified 7753 may end up having issues (especially with the added gears below the dial necessitated by the subdial layout, which I love). Don't know why Omega discontinued it. They haven't given up on the movement, which is still being used in the Speedmaster 38 (I like the racing model
Tho I like the movements better than the example watches. I like the "floating movement" on the reverso (reminiscent of a transparent Corum, can't remember the exact model) and, while usually not a fan of filigreed movements, it somehow works on this ultra-thin. But the watches themselves, while att
... Breguet is Swatch, Vacheron is Richemont, and I'm pretty sure that the label does the finishing, not the movement provider (Lemania, also Swatch, in this case).
... the long-discontinued Vacheron Les Historiques chrono is also a nice watch and, in YG, is a good deal in the secondary market. Myself, I am resolutely a grey-metal guy, and would kill for the ultra rare platinum version with the guilloche salmon dial but those are very hard to find and have gott
Very fond of the 3237 (and the similar 5237), probably the nicest HW chrono this side of Lange. Much nicer than Breguet's newer versions of essentially the same watch, which are unnecessarily big and often have unnecessarily busy dials. Also much nicer than Patek's 5070, which has essentially the sa
... with an 1815 chrono (essentially the same watch) years ago (tho it stopped at 5 minutes, rather than 1). Sent it in for service (Alkis in NYC), fixed, no problems since.
... basically the same the 3237/5237 but, myself, while I do in fact use my chronographs, I have no use for split-seconds, especially since most rattrapantes split only the seconds and not the minutes. Yeah, there is the Lange double-split which indisputably has a beautiful movement but is crazy hug
... but this one, not so much. I'm kinda allergic to prominent tachymeters and this one, in red, dominates the center of the dial, obscuring the subregisters. I infinitely prefer the older 3237/5237 models: no tachymeter, simple blued hands on an exquisitely-guilloched silver dial, smaller size, jus
