    Model:
    1376 Two-Register Valjoux 7733 Manual-Winding Chronograph; Swiss Made
    Case: Stainless steel caseback (signed by Vulcain); 37mm excluding the crown
    Strap 18mm between the lugs- it will come on a strap but not the 1 pictured
    Movement: Valjoux cal. 7733 manual-winding chronograph (17 jewels); signed
    Features: Two-register chronograph w/ tachymetre; stunning original dial and handset
    Condition: Very nice condition overall considering it's age; mint original dial
    Other: The original silver dial on this watch is everything. Okay, well almost.
    Just look at the vibrant splash of blue and red colors all legible & intact. Let's not forget about the nice
    Valjoux movement powering the watch. It winds & sets perfectly ,resets to zero as expected.Chrorgraph buttons work perfectly, this is a ready to wear piece.

    I accept Paypal or money orders (checks from established members) . I will ship CONUS ONLY unless you pay actual shipping via USPS Priority shipping.

    A lot of watch for the money. If I hadn't just bought something very similar I'd have been all over this.

    Yeah, and I'm not supposed to be looking at watches for sale for awhile, now..:rolleyes:

    But....

    .....:cautious:

    .......

    have you seen the new Dan Henry 1939? Speaking of cool chronos.... it has to be the coolest quartz chrono on the planet right now...

    The DH is so cheap that I didn't feel guilty in the slightest by just ordering one.

    Please give us a report on the quality. I have been thinking of getting one based on their photos, but as we all know, photos can be misleading.

    I'm quite impressed with my 1963.

    IMG_9236.JPG

    Styled beautifully, the quality of materials and workmanship I'd rate just at, or slightly below Seiko-level. Nice brushed case with polished bevels, love the sandwich dial. Downsides? The bezel moves a bit too easily, and the domed crystal reflects more than I'm used to. And then the obvious, it's a quartz movement, and I like my leather strap to taper.

    All in all, though, nice bang as a beater!

    that's funny for sure :D and not quite comparable :cool:
    - the above pic is something anyone is the street can recognize - No-one cares about watches but the WIS, who can spot a proper sub-sea from a DH1963 for sure ;)
    - that poly-heavy thing is sporting Prancing Horse stickies so it can fool the unassuming watcher - DH watches don't have branded logos (other than DH) because their owners aren't trying to fool anyone (at least, I hope!)
    - this car would never be purchased by a vintage/sports car enthusiast - Looks like you can find a few enthusiasts on OF who appreciate DH stuff ;)

    But then, we can agree to disagree again :D
