Dan, wish you could see this in the flesh, colours don't come across well in the pics. Grey bezel, charcoal tachy, met silver dial, black chronos and the hands are killer, Yep 42mm speedy style and this is mega chunky on the wrist...

That's really nice. I'm always on the lookout for a nice 7734, as it will scratch the "chrono with a date (at 6 or 12) itch".
The THC is out of reach at the moment. |

That's a beauty. Excellent find. To me, NOS means it was brand new, and purchased by you for the first time. Was it misplaced in a storeroom for 40 years? Did you get it from a dealer?

That is beautiful. Wish they would have done a speedy with the date in the manual winds. I'd still have one if they did.
