Maurice de Mauriac Watches Now Available With New Movement
Zurich-based watch brand Maurice de Mauriac will now begin to offer a special new movement in all of their watches which are built to accept Swiss ETA Valjoux 7750 automatic chronograph movements. Sourced from Concepto (the Jacquet family) the new movements are like super 7750s.The new movements are built on a Valjoux 7750 foundation and are interchangeable with the famous workhorse from ETA. The Valjoux 7750 is actually an amazing little machine. Continually refined for something like 30-40 years, it is not only the most popular Swiss mechanical chronograph calibre in the world, but also the base for a large number of other movements. As 7750 movements are so common, specialized movements using the same architecture are valued as they are less common and often much more attractive.Using the architecture of the 7750, Concepto produces this and other movements like it. The movement is mostly in black with a lot of perlage and other polishing. It has an upgraded power reserve of about 50

Vintage seamaster auto with date
im not sure of the model number.I saw one in a flea market with an original fishnet(sort of) bracelet.what's a reasonable price for it assuming 100% authentic?Dial looks aged but running fine. Plexi looks too new to be original though.It's an auto watch but the seller says I need to move the date wheel by turning from 9 to 3 and then 3 to 9...etc..sorry...but im a noob with omegas..just find the dial mesmerising.

42mm vs. 45.5mm PO
Does anyone have any wrist shot of the 42mm vs. the 45.5 mm PO? Since I bought my 41.5mm Great White I'm getting used to the smaller size. I was debating trading in the 45.5 for a 42, although this is just preliminary thinking. Thanks,Peter

Just joined the club (5167A-001)
This is my first post but I've been somewhat regular visitor for past couple of months, first as a guest and then registered couple of weeks ago.Anyhow. I got very much waited packet today and now I can say I've joined PP owners club. I don't bother you with multiple pics due not having decent camera nor photography skill. There are also already lots of good Aquanaut pics in this site from others but I still will put this one pic out just because in real life I know nobody who can enjoy and appreciate this kind of watch to the level it deserves. Now to nerve wrecking part of adjusting strap to my sizefull.JPG

BLNR - Rubber B installed
So I got my strap and Bergeon 7825 today. What a different watch now. Went from sporty/classy with the PCL's to full on sport. Two completely different watches. At first I didn't know if I liked the strap. I am use to the oyster. After a couple hours I like it now. Definitely not incognito with the blue. Stunning from far away and on another persons wrist. Had my gf try it on. Rubber B impressions - color match is almost perfect. The texture and feel of the band is stellar. Still overpriced in my mind, but definitely not cheap feeling in anyway. Sizing is small - third hole from end just makes it under second keeper (sort of tight). Second hole is loose and doesn't go under second keeper, but doesn't move around. Of course I am in between holes. Very comfortable either way. Bergeron 7825 - seems well built, but ends don't have much to wrap around spring bar. The sharp part is almost not there like on a normal spring bar tool. Made it easier to take off, but still easy to scra
