Love it! Can you share some details on this watch? Looks like a 530 if I’m not mistaken

Yep a 530. Manual hand wind with a Venus 75 inside. I had one of these but sold is stupidly. I was lucky to pick this one up as they have been discontinued for a while.

Very nice. I talked to a watch maker about making one of these custom for me, utilizing a valjoux 72 and a custom made dial. A project I just don’t have the funds for at the moment but one day :)

Sounds interesting buddy. Now I’m the one requesting details :)

What kind of funds. And what case would they use? Valjoux 72 makes sense. Custom dial also.

if you can score a vajoux 72 without breaking the bank on the rest of the watch it currently sits in, it opens up a whole world of modded/franken chrono reps that can be built. Never actually built a watch since I lack, oh you know, skill, know-how, equipment...just that little stuff, but i feel like conceptually it's not terribly difficult as long as i can source parts and have a good watchsmith to do the work...so the hunt begins for the movement and the rest will just have to be thought of later...a definite step above the lemania based chinese seagull chrono movement which isn't terrible, but you get what you pay for.
