Re: Porsche Design by Orfina, Ref 7750

Not sure myself Jeff… probably…. funny after owning a number of these watches I like the 7750 the best… its lighter… this one I just couldn't wear as it was too perfect… looked pretty cool though hey?

PS. Jeff can you check the links to the lovely note you put in the OTD links page about ATG? I think they are out of date… would appreciate it…

: Readers:

: A few questions for the group, regarding this Porsche Design, by
: Orfina, powered by the Valjoux 7750 movement:

: -- Was this model the first black PVD coated chronograph? I believe
: that the Orfina 7750 was first, and that we saw the
: "Orfina" above the windows before the PD logo
: appeared, but can someone confirm this?

: -- What did Porscge Design call this model? Is this the Chronograph
: 1?

: -- Were there other black PVD watches, before we saw the first
: black PVD chronograph?

: -- What is the favorite name for this style of case? I have heard
: it called "military", but wonder whether there is some
: preferred nickname for this style of case? Of course, we see
: Heuer using this type of case for the Pasadena, and it was used
: by many other brands in the 1970s.

: Here is a thread discussing the early PD chronos --

: Can readers recommend other resources?

: Sorry for the fuzzy photo / reflections . . . taken in the car on
: the morning commute, with a couple of effects added before
: posting on Instagram.
