For the Price of a Rep, how about a ETA 7750 Gen

[dylan]

Here is some eyecandy. Its an Accutron Gemini Chrono (Valjoux 7750).

Retails for about $1100. You can find them brand new for $600++ thru various online deals.

I think it would be nice if others would post some of their GENS that they got a good deal on. It may give other members some watch ideas. So all you Hamilton Khaki Chrono owners with ETA 7750 mvmts, start posting pics....

Nice watch! I think you got quite a deal on that. Congrats.

[dylan]

I like the little details...like the 'tuning fork' symbol on the end of the long chrono needle

[giorgio]

So how big is it? It looks on you almost how my S.A. wears on me - Is it that big, or do you have smaller wrists?

[dylan]

I believe its 42mm....with single sided AR...purplish in the sunlight...

Here's one Dave ... Gevril Limited First Edition (MSRP $1,950) for $199.98 from TJ Maxx.

Would have been well overpriced at $1,950, as it's just a basic 2824-2 with date at 6. You can still find them around at closeout sites for over $500.

Here you go, picked it up for $1200. I think this watch is a fantastic buy. ETA7753 is worth it alone.

Had a x-wind, but sold it a few months back. Great watch and looked good, just sat too much.

Here`s a hami with the same movement that is a bit older from the early 90`s. Pristine with some of the plastic seal still attached on the back case. Paid under $400.00 and don`t ask, I will never sell it.

Been looking for it`s alter ego, ( white dial black subs) in mint condition but no luck. Would love to have the pair someday.

I got a good deal on my original blackbird, picked it up for $1900. Inside is a breitling caliber 13, based on the valjoux 7750

[giorgio]

Wow, that's one crazy looking CG assembly!

[dylan]

Great watches guys! Lets see who else got a good deal...

[afiartis]

My favorite watch: GEN (of course!) Alpina Avalanche R

Someone on TZ is selling a Hamilton with ETA 7750 for $370 (maybe cheaper now) if someone wants one. Can't even buy the movement that cheap...

I saw that it just sold for $360. A sharp looking watch too. I thought about buying it, but I don't need any more chronos!

[musicale]

Wow, very tempting to pick a watch like that up and swap movements. If you have a lo-beat 7750 rep you could even do a straight swap.

Now that is seriously stylish and very very classy.

I love that watch to little bits.

It`s a pity about the sub-dial spacing, the name position and the hands, I definately think you should UNLOAD

that one smartish !!!!!

no,no, no..............joke, .............joke,.......joke, ................I LOVE IT.

Please put me 1st. in line when you do sell.

[archibald]

Sweet. The movement is worth $400 at least. I'd put the movement in a nice rep though, knowing when I was sick of it, I could always throw it back in the gen and sell for a profit.

Thats an awesome watch Jawo. After seeing the pics you posted I went out trolling on the net to see if I could find a used one for sale. No luck finding a used one, but in the process I found some on Overstock.com at the price I expected to pay for a used one! Thanks for posting the pic, I think I might be buying my first gen!

[dippy]

Another one is the Tissot Le Locle chrono, retails for around $1200, you can find them on the 'bay for around $500-600........

@Dave: Ever since I saw your post I've been thinking about this watch. I started trolling ebay about a week ago looking to pick one up. Today, low and behold I see the very watch that I was looking for. Then I realized how good the photography was. I thought to myself, wristshots this good could only come from one place! I checked back on this link and sure enough it's not only the model I was looking for, it was the actual watch and wrist that got me looking in the first place! I realize I've probably shot myself in the foot by posting this since now everyone else will probably go to the 'Bay and bid up the price; but I want to thank you for turning me on to this gorgeous watch. Good luck with auction mate!

darn nice man...

[frankt]

Here's my all time favorite!!...Omega Dynamic Chrono...

Got it @6 yrs ago BNIB for $435,00US on an Ebay BIN deal!!

With the sec @3:00 configuration, not an easy watch to rep!!

Sort of makes buying an HBB rep a bit silly IMNSFHO !! ;)
