So,
For those of us lucky enough to get our hands on the white dial Victorinox chronographs, what are your thoughts and plans for the watch?
Threw mine on a blue leather single pass.
The white dial seems to match with everything. The green lume may be the only thing that hinders this.

I'll be keeping mine, I think. I don't have a 7750, and it's very rare to find one at this price.

It's a very well made piece, Mrs.MoT was even smitten by it. I like the green lume, I think I'd like to find a strap in a similar color.

I see that [mention]claus1100xx[/mention] already has theirs listed on WUS. :lol:

I'm keeping mine.

The strap is very nice. I've been wanting a butterfly clasp for some time now, along with another Chrono.

I wasn't expecting to buy another 7750 since they're thiccccc but for the price, I'm very happy. And it sits on the wrist better than all the Hamilton Chronos I've had/tried.

Those curved lugs help tremendously.

I threw it out there to see if there are any bites. I’m tempted to order the bracelet for it (part# 004447).

Do you have a source for those? I only searched eBay, and the sellers are wanting $200.

Heidi-Shop in Switzerland has them for around $130. Shipping is free and no tax. Might take a while to get to the US though and almost doubles the overall price. This Chrono is sweet on the bracelet though.

Looks like Masters In Time has it for slightly less. I don't like the idea of paying that much for a bracelet/strap, but I do love that OEM look.

Ugh.

Y'all making me envious... Kidding, 42mm with that massive dial would better fit my ankle.

Great on all your thicc wrists, though. Always loved the Air Boss line, fantastic aesthetics all around, enjoy it in good health!!
