My custom made Swiss Valjoux eta 7750
G'day Guys,
I thought I would get your thoughts on my custom made watch. It was custom made 100% in Switzerland and shipped to me in Australia. It is my favourite watch of all and is built like a tank! Full 316L SS with sapphire crystal. It has a 43mm case not including the crown. I had it engraved on the case-back... DAZ SWISS CHRONOMETER SPECIAL EDITION 1/1 I had my own custom logo added to the dial and clasp on both the SS bracelet and clasp of the black leather band. The weight is over 200 grams. Cheers, Daz |

Nice Watch. I have the Valjoux 7751 in my RGM 160M. You can buy a watch kit yourself and have fun building it yourself. Here is the link if you are interested:

Daz,
That's a great looking watch. Are there other options available like 12 hour bezels or 2 tone sub dials? Mind if I ask the cost? Does it have a screw down crown? Looks impressive. dP

OK, I'm a dumb a$$. No need for 2 tone subs with the sub rings.

More on my watch
Quote:
Thanks guys, yes it is an awesome watch. I was in Sydney a couple of months ago and got chatting with a guy hadn't seen for years. He owns a leading pawn broker store that has many Rolex watches and others for sale. He was wearing a Panerai and immediately asked about my watch. He said it was a very impressive watch and complimented the quality. Anyway, you can go to my personal site www.DAZ.com.au and then click the appropriate link to see more info and pics. The one pictured above is the Captain model, but is also available in a Pilot model. There are a few choices of dials and colours etc. It's 100M WR but no screw down crown. To answer the question on price, between $1,500.00AU and $1,750.00AU. This includes a one off cost for artwork as you can have your own logo etc. Plus any engraving, Swiss hang tag and warranty etc, housed in a solid timber box. You can see it all on my site so I won't keep going on. But let me say they are excellent value and are one of a kind, which is what I like. When I first got it I only had one problem? I didn't want to wear anything else. But these days I wear a variety, but this will always be my favourite. Cheers, Daz |
