Vintage 80's Porsche Valjoux 7750 17 jewel movement Do not know a lot about the piece other than the movement and the obvious. It measures aprox. 42mm 10 to 2 and has a 19mm folded bracelet. They are going to be selling the German, French, and Italian versions this weekend on Tim Temples shows. Wish I knew more but that is the breaks.    |

Thanks O, if you decide to crack the back of yours you will need to use some silicon lube on the O ring mine came off but it stuck to the back in one or two places. The movement has some nylon pieces that function with the chrono. The movement is marked unadjusted but that may or may not be true, that just means Val. did not mess with the regulator. |

Mine is on the Truck headed home hand6.gif Eric Did it have any specific name on the rotor or signs of who actually made the Watch?watch2.gif Thanks, I believe I will actually keep this one, that is a honest change but it is an enthusiasts watch.

No this is one of the bare bones no decoration at all, no markings of any kind. I will post the pics in a second. No markings at all, no paper work, and the instructions printed off and included were for the correct movement but labeled 7751. My advice is to any one that gets one get it serviced regularly because the 17j 7750 has some metal to metal contact on the chronograph mechanism, from what I remember. The stroke did mess some of my old memory's up so, I would not bet the farm on it. |

The funny thing was I knew that they made one, but with all of the things that our various company's do, 3 children, and regulating the info that is available to the masses, I have lapses in recall some time, just to much info. The problem with this movement is and the other ones like it, was the nylon parts and the inadequate jeweling, all done in order to make it more cost effective. I have not had one of these in my hands since I was in my early 20's. Service it regularly, and I mean regularly and there will be no problems, you can not slip like you can on one that is fully jeweled. Metal on metal is not a joke and should not be played with, this movement is from the dark days. I believe it was designed in the mid 70's or maybe the very early 80's but I do not believe so, I will ask one of my mentors and find out. |
