In for a Tricompax. I sent 223 to her this morning for the movement plus shipping (about $296 USD).

I love that movement (but not in an unnatural way) and new ones are always way over priced.

I'll let you know when it lands.

It appears to be an ETA 7753 (from email with the seller).

Actually, it would be great if it was a 7750 with a Dubois-Depraz module applied; I've been looking for one of those (at a decent price) for several years.

I'll post again after it arrives.

I realize how imprecise "tricompax" is, and how it's become a generic term for a triple register 9-6-3 layout in a mechanical chronograph.

At that price however, I was willing to take a chance.

I bought some magic beans too.

A Dubois-Depraz module would go on a 2824-2, it would be redundant to put it on a 7750 which is already a chronograph movt. The D-D module has running seconds at three, not at 9 like the 7750/7753s. Since it sits on top of the 2824, pusher locations are above the stem/crown axis. Gevril did the Paul Newman Daytona homage piece with the D-D module a number of years ago- big tell was the running seconds at 3!

$300 for a 7753 is somewhat tempting.

My understanding was that prior to production of the 7753 D-D made modules for Valjoux giving the subdial layout seen now on the 7753. A moonphase module was made as well.

They are not common, and that was why I was looking for one.

So any feedbacks about those mouvements ?

I will not post any other deals if it's not enough good for the Members..

I have former movements from them but just wanted to know

I got mine; part of the delay was my fault. I Paypal'd to a misspelled address (no harm no foul...it didn't go through).

Once my payment got through it took 2 weeks exactly to receive the movement.

It's perfect in everyway. I haven't checked it's accuracy electronically yet, but I'll get to that eventually.

I'm going to build a franken of sorts in a Glashutte rep case with a sterile dial.
