All my watches are serviced, de-magnetized, and timegrapher regulated, with a three-month warranty, unlike many flippers' watches with unknown conditions. Those low price watches are typically in sorry conditions. Expect to pay $$$ for service.

If you are looking for an affordable, high performance and massive, Swiss Made, authentic 7750 automatic chronograph watch, this one fits the bill. Sector was a highly rated watch company in the 90s into 2000s. This vintage Golden Eagle Sector automatic chronograph with a genuine Valjoux ETA 7750 movement, 17 jewels, was well made and in excellent condition.
Today, the watch market is flooded with so called Asian 7750 automatic chronograph movements. They are cheap, poor quality control, and do not last long.
This is a genuine Swiss made 23 jewels Valjoux ETA 7750 movement. Expect to pay over $400 for the movement alone.
It is fitted with a high quality rubber bracelet in blue which matches the dial nicely. This bracelet can be cut to smaller sizes and it can fit a wrist over 8" as is. It also comes with a stainless steel, two tone solid link bracelet, made by Citizen, up to 6.5".
It has been fully serviced and everything works. The chronograph runs and resets to zero position. It keeps very precise time with the 28800 beats per hour rate, the modern gold standard for high end automatic watches.
I build and restore vintage automatic watches as a hobby using my knowledge in precision engineering and aestheics. All my watches are freshily lubricated, timegrapher regulated, and cleaned to restore the pleasure of wearing a vintage watch with its full functionalities and timing performance.
I do not use Chinese-made parts, even the spring bars are Swiss Made.
For those who are not familiar with Valjoux 7750, now known as ETA 7750, it is the best or de facto automatic chronograph movement used by all expensive Swiss watch makers, such as Tag Heuer, Breitling, etc. for their automatic chronograph watches priced at $5000 or more. It is the same movement with some extra surface texture as decoration and some colorful screws. Do these extra "enhancements" improve the performance? Not at all.
ETA 7750 has a beat rate at 28800 beats per hour for very high time keeping precision.
The 25 jewel version of the 7750 movement has extra jewels mainly in the winding mechanism, not related to the timing performance.
Even though this chronograph was originally rated for 100 m water resistant, you should keep it from water as a vintage watch. I did not test its water resistance.
You will get noticed when you have this watch on your wrist.
The sale is final. I will provide 3-month free service warranty. Should any issue comes up, you send the watch back to me (you pay the shipping cost to me), and I will service the watch to its full working order and ship it back to you without charges.
