 Arrived today and was pleasantly surprised that the watch was in much better shape than the seller's photos...as a matter of fact, it looks almost brand new...glommed these photos of the internet.

Strangely, the ad I bought it off of stated size as 42mm, but it is, in fact, Hucky size at 44mm...BNIB OEM brown leather strap was included, but it came on a like new Di-Modell Chronissimo.  Can't believe the bargain I got on this!

Per my standard SOP, maybe one day, I'll take pictures!:D

 Hey I heard my name a callin, Yes indeed that is a beauty, I love Vixa and at 44mm that is a sweet watch! I remember seeing 42 in the ad and passed it over, good catch Ken.

Put me on the list of future buyers toon1.gif

 As you know, I'm no chrono fan, but that is one very handsome watch. I like it. Very clean design.

Uhren Fabrik = Clock Factory

Not sure why that is on the dial, but it doesn't detract from anything. :cool:

 Thanks everybody...forgot to mention that this is not a Val 7750 but is the ETA 2893-2 based with the DD2020 module (similar to the Steinhart/Debaufre MACH1) 51j movement.

I like the Di-Modell strap on it, but I am also, kinda thinking a polished Watchaddo will fit nicely also!

Yea that movement is awesome. Much sweeter than the 2824-2/DD2025. That is what is in the Zodiac Calame. The Dubois-Depraz module is so cool. :cool:

 Very cool you thief. You'll note you are not the Gentleman Bandit as is Tony. You are clearly THE BANDITO!!

Great pix by the way...

And I love your redundancy. I.e. your standard SOP (standard operating procedure)!

 

Looks great Chief!!
