It’s very attractive, especially on the strap I got for it. Interesting that Sea-Gull is making a 7750 clone. I hadn’t spotted that before.

Awesome legibility and great lume - surely the most important features of a "Pilot" watch?
Extremely comfortable - sits nice and flat on the wrist.
Perfect proportions in fact.
And of course THAT movement...so smooth you can play with the pushers all day.
After a quick regulation it is VERY accurate long term as well.

What's the case size on the one you're wearing?
It looks like a big 42mm too. I'm going to have to look at one of these.42mm

I used to have this one. It was fun to watch that chronograph hand race around the dial at breakneck speed but in the end it had the same flaw as my Breitling Transocean Day/Date.......the lugs were just too long for my comfort. The legibility also wasn't great in certain situations:

It was 12.9mm. The thickness was fine and nowhere near as thick as a lot of the ETA/Valjou 7750 based chronos around.
Don't be fooled by pictures, the silver dial and polished surfaces everywhere on this particular model made it look great indoors and overly blingy and hard to read in sunlight......at least for me. I much prefer good ol' matt white, black or dark blue dials for potential chrono purchases these days.

Just now, in the train :
I take this one to the grave
This is a model from 2014.
Still hyper accurate. It's a little marked here and there, because I really use it, but I don't care.
On the contrary, she (yes .. she) lives.

What I love about this watch is how it eats up and then returns the light:
Both the dial and the bezel are incredibly changeable and dynamic.

Gave the wrist a little trim after noticing the foliage in yesterday's wrist shot...
