Valjoux 7753. I own AP, PP, Rolex, Omega and, soon, JLC. This thing is solid. It’s obviously not grail watch material. But I love the dial design and overall sturdy construction.

Agreed on both fronts. I spoke to the CEO and told him the same thing. I made a friendly suggestion: this exact watch, but in 40mm and dateless. He said he’d look into it.

I was eyeing at this model. Beautiful design plus with that price. However too big for my 6.25" wrist.

Yeah. At 49mm from lug to lug, it isn’t for everyone. It works for me, thankfully!
