FS: Stainless steel "military style" Valjoux 7750-based rattrapante. NM condition, and just serviced in Switzerland. 41mm, screw-off caseback. The movement is one that is modified by the firm A. Rochat. This system is used by a number of high-grade Swiss watches for their Valjoux 7750-based rattrapante watches costing thousands of dollars more. There is a column wheel under the dial for the split second function.
If you google, Daniel Baumann rattrapante, and Hebdomas rattrapante and look for images.....it's the same exact watch except this one has no branding. And it has no display back - although the finish on the movement is very fine.
Superb high grade watch. The movement has high grade finishing throughout - I have no pics of this because the watch has just been serviced, and I do not want to take the caseback off. But I have seen the movement previously, and it is basically exactly like the one seen in the link below.
$1950. Shipped only in the US for that price.
