You are looking at a real piece of horology history from one of the Holy Trinities of Swiss Watch Making. A 100+year old piece from Vacheron Constantin. Original High Grade movement with Patented Regulator in good working condition, Original Breguet style hands and Original Enamel Dial in it's original condition with no restoration. Based on it's serial number, this watch is made probably between 1900 -1905. It's originally a Pocket Watch that have been re-cased into a Pilot watch case with big Onion winding crown. Lugs are 23mm+. fits 24mm with no problem. Horology have come a very long from a century ago, but it's classics like this, that defines it's Journey, History and Heritage. Classics will always be classics, it's style and presence will always be Timeless. The & from Vacheron & Constantin was dropped and officially became what is known today as Vacheron Constantin in 1970. The first boutique in Geneva was opened in 1906, which means this piece predates the boutique. Case: Steel. 45mm without Crown. 52mm with Crown. Snap close back. Dial: Aged Creamed Colored original Enamel Dial. Sub Dial Seconds @ 6. Movement: Low Beat Manual Winding VC in-house manufacture with Patented Regulator. Patent Date Jan.8.1884. Keeps very good time with about 30hours Power Reserve. This is a very sturdy movement and will only gain to benefit from a routine servicing from an experienced Watch Maker. Strap: A 24mm used Rios Black Aliigator Style Strap will be provided. Fits the theme of the watch nicely. It's hard to come by old pieces like these in a nice case with all it's parts intact and original. Alot of others in the market have been either Franken or have their dial restored. Worst of all, of recent years, alot of Pieces from Russia / Bulgaria are actually fakes made to look very much alike. Due to the lack of exposure and knowledge, victims have been known to pay big bucks for them. I am not an expert, but this have been authenticated by VC collectors.

Hi All, i need to swap my aquaracer chrono day/date wheels to ETA, will the ETA wheels fits A7750 movt?? can i just pass it to my watchsmith and ask him to do 1 to 1 swap?? any modification needed?? was tinking to order from cousins.uk as they are bloody cheap.. Are these parts below correct?? - VAL775025571BW3: Valjoux 7750 2557.1 Date Indicator 3 o'clock Black Numbers on White Background (EACH) 1

hah... important note!!...

if you own a Asian7750 movt, the cheaper version of 196,250,188... u can only change the date using the crown like any other rep watches.. u pull the crown out halfway, u get the change date function, u pull the crown out all the way, u get to change the time.. as for the side button at 10 o'clock, it does not serve any function no matter how u push it!!.. unless u get a Swiss 7753 movt, u get to change the date at 10o'clock side button. AND NOT VIA the crown. which functions exactly like a gen watch..

im in for 1 if possible to get USD200!!!... its worth at least 400-500.. let me know.. duffy PM me pls.. thx

someone jump on it quick!!!...
