I'm confused. You picked up a Pasadena for $250? Or the Tourneau went for $250. If you picked up any Heuer Chrono for $250(running), I would be VERY jealous.

: I recently received my poor man's Heuer
: Pasadena Valjoux 7750. I have been wearing
: it for about two weeks. I love this watch.
: Then I go to Tourneau see the same watch in
: the Tourneau museum. Apparently Heuer also
: made them for Tourneau. Then I see Ernst
: Benz has the movement in their Chronoscope
: Chronograph. I will open the back to see if
: it is a heuer or the day. A while back I
: tried to pic up a PVD Pasadena and it went
: for close to $800 and here I picked up this
: watch for less than $250. I have not opened
: the back yet but it keeps perfect time and
: was in better condition than I imagined from
: the pics. If only I could find two more.
: I will post some pics soon after these two
: autcions on the bay are over don't want to
: give myself more competition than I can
: afford. And while Jeff, Chuck, Mike and a
: few others know which watch I am refering to
: we will let the lurkers do their homework.
: But I must say this is one of the most
: professional boards I have ever been on.
: I've been on boards where a noobie gets
: eaten alive for asking the wrong question. I
: am glad there is none of that here. You guys
: are great.
