Good things happen when you don’t follow orders

It’s surprising how often a bit of archaeology in everyday areas of Watchworld yields something interesting. An example – have a rummage in your watchbox. Pound to a penny there’ll be something in there running the ostensibly humble Valjoux 7750. It’s a movement that powers everything from Invictas to Breitlings and forms the basis for some very smart watches indeed. It’s as ubiquitous in chronos as the ETA2824 is in standard three-hand watches.

I am looking for a watch with a 7750, taking my time, but I like the movement.

It's a terrific movement, and given the way wartch pricing has been of late, it's very easy to pick up a nice model (something not invicta) from around $375 to $450 USD, depending on the brand.
