Hello everyone,

Newbie here still learning and hoping beyond hope to find a sub-$1000 chronograph to proudly buy as my first watch. I saw this one and was wondering if you all thought it looked redialed? Seller says the case has been refinished. Thanks!

I can't speak for everyone, but I'm fairly confident that most collectors would say there are other 7750 base watches they'd rather have than one branded "Tourneau". For instance, the Bulova / Accutron versions are readily found under $1000 and they're anywhere from nice to very cool. Check out the Christopher Ward Speedhawk too.

+ 1 on Christopher Ward. Do check their website (not vintage)

Are there other brands you suggest I avoid at this range/type?

Don't think its a matter of avoiding, just better options with this movement.

Nothing intrinsically wrong with Tourneau watches.

I doubt anyone would try to redial a Tourneau, although stranger things have happened.
