For sale is my Jacques Monnat Valjoux 7736 Chronograph. I bought the watch NOS from a dealer a couple of years ago. It still had the plastic on the crystal, case and pushers. I've worn it sparingly since. It's in great shape, with no flaws. All functions work. I have not had it serviced. It's a beautiful watch but it does not get the wrist time it deserves. Details are below -- Maker: Jacques Monnat Model: Incabloc Chronograph Reference: NA Year: Late 1960s? Material: Stainless Steel Dimensions: 39 mm Sapphire Crystal: No, plexi-glass Lume: Yes, tritium Movement: Manual-wound chronograph caliber Valjoux 7736 Lug Width: 20 mm Box/Papers: No I'd like $1500 USD. The watch owes me $1750 USD, plus the strap. Local cash sale preferred. Otherwise, PayPal is fine but buyer pays fees. Returns are accepted if the watch is not as represented.

This is not a late 60ies watch, but a modern ‘replica’ built with some NOS parts and some reproduction parts. Just a heads up for potential buyers.
Hello Septentrio - Thanks for the input. Why do you say this is "not a late 60ies watch, but a modern ‘replica’ built with some NOS parts and some reproduction parts"? Have you seen other similar Jacques Monnat replicas? A quick google search turned up a few of them, all NOS... I know Lunaroyster is a reputable seller and the example he sold on his site is exactly as I bought mine, with "original blue wax on pushers and chronograph. Caseback still has clear sticker" https://lunaroyster.com/product/1960s-jacques-monnat-incabloc-chronograph-2/ Here are two others ... https://www.h1912.com/watches/mens-...s-stainless-steel-jacques-monnat-divers-watch http://www.greyandpatina.com/vintagewatches/1960s-jacques-monnat-incabloc-chronograph-nos Please help me understand your statement. Are you suggesting these examples "are all not late 60ies watch[es], but modern ‘replicas' built with some NOS parts and some reproduction parts"? Or is there something about my watch that you see that is different? Thanks again for the information. I'll withdraw the watch or adjust the price accordingly if it's not what I thought it was when I bought it Best, M

One of the advantages of being around this Forum for a while…is that you clearly remember those people ejected…historically…from the Forum ‘Lunaroyster’… aka ‘Krlyuzh’ …aka ‘oystersandcosmos’ is one of them…and for very good reasons…his credentials are tainted
Yes, these are all frankenwatches/reproductions/... however you want to call it. You can also read some more about them here: https://omegaforums.net/threads/jacques-monnat-chrono-with-7736-valjoux.69513/ https://forums.watchuseek.com/f11/n...graphs-where-did-they-all-come-4522195-3.html There were no laser engraved casebacks in the 1960s... and if you test the lume with UV light you will see it is not tritium...
