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

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!!

Meant to say "usual SOP"...and thank you.  I scored pretty well on the Marathon SAR also...BTW, does anyone know what the side case engraving is for on the VIXA Type 20 case?...mine states "AD42".
