PD 7750 Watch. What can you tell me?

[Jim Breazeale]

Just curious. This watch is in my possession now and I don't know anything about it. No, it is not for sale and it is in rather poor condition but does work. Yes, I'm probably being lazy, but I know there has been lots of stuff about these watches on this forum. I could care less about what it is worth, though.

Hey Jim, these were made by Orfina (pretty sure they did all the Porsche Design watches) using the venerable Valjoux 7750 automatic movement.

Get it serviced and wear it... not especially valuable in the condition yours is, but pretty much bulletproof as analog watches go.
Or if you want it pretty, spring to have it refinished. Case, bracelet and crystal plus service shouldn't cost that much.

Thanks Russ. It was given to me by an old friend.

I'm sure it does, but that is not likely to happen.

IWC made quite a few Porsche Design watches as well, including the Ocean 2000, watch for the german army divers.

Wear it with pride Jim ! I especially like the patinated PVD finish on it.

The really interesting thing is, that the tachymétre ring is in "miles", so it is obviously an edition for these markets.
Have not seen it before.
get cleaned and adjusted, "small service" . . .

You have one of the earlier configurations of the PD Orfina chrono. You can see the differences to the 5100 models. The chrono dial at 12, the i mile marker on the tach ring, the hands, and lack of secondary sweep hand. For an early model its in pretty good condition. I believe the 7750 is smaller than the 5100 maybe 42mm vs 44mm.

I used to wear a vintage Rlx Sub but the PD chrono is (surprisingly) much more comfortable, and to me less ostentatious. I wear mine every day, it keeps better time than all my other automatic watches. I had it serviced and re anodized at Superior in March 2018 which cost around a $G
