Another LeJour 'Pasadena'
In Response To: Re: That's a new one to me. Sorry to say. ()

One of these 'Pasadena look-alikes' by LeJour just arrived in my mailbox today, as a low cost daily wear chrono.

It appears to have an all-stainless case, with a black finsh, but the crown looks to be brass with the above-mentioned wear.

I do have a question - is the Valjoux 7750 movement susceptible to shock damage in shipping? I thought they were supposed to be rather robust. This one doesn't want to run - supposedly it was running before shipment. I guess it's off to the watchmaker to be opened up for a look-see.
