Couldn't help myself, always fancied a gold 7750.

I'm still yet to disassemble that ETA with several complications, but having done some more research, it turns out the ETA 2836-2 movement has a module on the dial side, this add on part houses many gears allowing the ETA movement to have manually adjustable complications, what I haven't figured out is, how do those complications register automatically each day at midnight.

Great looking watch

I love the watch! Good choice Micky! It has everything I would wish. It is complicated but not over complicated, reads well and is ready for most situations, not just for dress! Very classy!

BTW, about how do complications register each day....my take on this, -- knowing much less about this of course -- I'd venture that they call the Atomic Clock in the area!!!  Oh, well, bad joke. I sincerely wish I could help on that one!

Enjoy this great watch!

Cheers,

Bob

If you look closely at the movement, specifically the lock, #281, its plastic, which indicates this movement is a low beat 17 jewel, and not a high beat 25 jewel, the latter has a metal lock.

And its arrived, surprised it survived the journey from Italy, the seller wrapped the watch in newspaper, and gaffa taped it together, and put it into a large DHL bag.

Anyway, confirmed as suspected, 17J Gold ETA 7750.  The case is in bad shape, a few dings, dents and scratches here and there, plus the crown is a bugger to get ahold of due to its construction.

Seems to be running well though, so may harvest the monemnernt for something else.
