A local shop has this model--7753 w/ flyback and big date, used, for $1400. I'm thinking I ought to buy it....

Big date... 7753...

I like it!

Nice watch. That being said, not much can be said about the company, as I could not find much information on it, except for a website of the manufacturer.

Looks like it also has a Dubois-Depraz module installed as well (guessing DD 14000?) for use of the big date. Check out the Revue Thommen 16085. It has a similar layout.

Nice watch... i has one or two vintage Michel herbelin watches with 7734/7733 movements. Quite nice watches with decent finish. This however is a nice new model

Dont know much about the company, however, 1400 is not much more than the movement with the added big date module is worth- sounds reasonable to me.

I could only find one new piece on the Web--MSRP of $2600 being sold for $1899, so $1400 seems good for a used piece.

I think I'm going to pick this up, if only because the design reminds me a little of my Lange reps and because I have never seen another flyback chrono for less than triple that price.

If these people can make money selling 7753's w/ 2 DD modules (one for the big date and another for the flyback, I assume) for $1900, it kind of sheds interesting light on the profit margins involved on watches like the PAM 212, eh?
