I recently picked up my first Valjoux 7750 watch. I fretted over this purchase for a long while. It's the biggest purchase of my WIS career to date. I put myself into the NBZ with this one. I wanted a nice silver dial watch that would be a keeper for a while. I think I achieved that with this purchase.

Without further ado.....my Swiss Watch International Limited Edition chronograph.

Official stats

* Stainless steel case
* Rotating bezel
* Skeleton caseback
* Silver guilloche dial
* Luminous blue hands
* Luminous Roman numerals
* Day and date display at 3 o'clock
* 60-second, 30-minute and 12-hour subdials
* Stainless steel bracelet
* Push-button deployment clasp
* Swiss-made automatic movement
* Sapphire crystal
* Screw-down crown
* Water resistant to 200 meters
* Case measures 45 mm wide x 15 mm thick
* Bracelet measures 20 mm wide x 9.5 inches long

The watch came with a really nice winder and hat as well.

The dial is gorgeous with multiple patterns. I tested the accuracy for 24 hours and it was spot on with my atomic GShock.

Here are a few pics.

Definitely one of SWI's best offerings; I like the silver dial the best of all the variations. Great pick up, and now you have "the wobble!"

I've been tempted by those many times.
Especially the elegant dial work.

Boy oh boy, is this something else or what Hobbit ?! SWI Limited Edition Chronograph Icon_eek .. SWI Limited Edition Chronograph 46145
It's extremely easy to see why you have been after this one
for a while. Have to say that this SWI looks TOO GOOD ! It's
a watch that takes on watches that are much more expensive,
and I think impresses at every turn. That dial with it's AMAZINGLY
detailed texturing, and Roman Numerals. Even those excellent
classy hands, and markers are at a different level. Plus you are
right about that SILVER ! SWI Limited Edition Chronograph Icon_biggrin It's the perfect color for this watch,
and will also ALWAYS look nice ! ..Your pictures confirm this !!!
..I like the bezel on this SWI as well, it's cool seeing the markings
cut so deeply into the steel, and I think it works nicely with the
whole look, and size of the case. Those pushers are even fun to
look at imho. It's honestly the kind of watch that has so many
outstanding characteristics that you really have to be proud.
Proud that you finally got a watch you have liked for so long,
and proud to have such a watch in your collection. Having that
movement now is pretty FANTASTIC also !!! SWI Limited Edition Chronograph Icon_cheers ..Definitely a
special kind of watch all the way around. Hey, and could that
bracelet be any better, or more comfortable from the looks of
it ?! ..I don't think so ! ..I'm happy you were able to pick up
this SWI Hobbit ! ..Congratulations, and without a doubt you
will be ENJOYING this one !!!

EXCEPTIONAL pictures here TOO sir !

Very nice, Hobbit. Great photos, too.
Truthfully, I'm not a fan of Romans (numerals, that is), but they surely look correct on that dial. Good enough, that I could live with it. SWI Limited Edition Chronograph 933578

Very nice...Glad you pulled the trigger. I have to say that watch is made very well. I really regret selling my V7751 silver dial. Cannot be found anywhere and the detail on these watches is top notch...Enjoy it..
