Description: A GEORGEOUS BWC Vintage Chronograph with the famed Valjoux 7733. I purchased this watch several years ago as a NOS chronograph from a dealer in Switzerland. I then went about having a master watchmaker perform a complete COA / Service, along with installing the blued minute and hour hands, the blued sub dial seconds hand, and the orange hand on the minute totalizer. This phenomenal timepiece keeps time at +1-2 seconds / day on my wrist. It is being sold with the following: A Fluco Bund Strap that is in superb condition. The Bund strap is consistent with the stylings of the 1970’s and presents as a much larger timepiece on the wrist. Also included is a Hirsch Performance Strap in blue, which is also in great shape. The blue Hirsh strap is stunning against the silver dial and the blued hands! Finally I am including the original hands, in the event any collector would like to return the watch to It’s original vibe. Honestly, I think the blued hands, which were made for the Valjoux, are stunning on this timepiece. But, again, the original hands will be included in the sale. This Chronograph is ALL Stainless Steel (NO CHROME), which can be difficult to find from this time period. The back of the case is marked ALL STEEL - ANTIMAGNETIC – INCABLOC – SWISS MADE – WATERRESISTANT (see photos). The Case is in beautiful condition, the original dial is perfect, and the pristine valjoux movement is working exactly as it should. The pushers work with a smooth, crisp action and the chrono sweep second hand returns spot on to the 12 position when the lower pusher is activated. The size of this timepiece: NOT including the crown, the case measures 36.7 mm wide. The watch is just a bit over 12mm in thickness, and the lug size is 18mm. I am selling this watch, along with another to make room for a new acquisition. I only permit so many watches in the collection at any given time. Please send a message with ANY questions. Thanks for your interest.
