That’s a nice one Chuck; the chrono look in the Sixty-five model is subtly done, yet still obviously a chronograph. Even with the very hard to find (at least at an acceptable price) Redbar missing, that’s an impressive set of Sixty-fives there!

If I may ask, would you be kind enough to post an edge-on shot showing how thick it is?

It was a case of "all things come to he who waits", biding your time to get one for a good price.

It's hard to beat a 7750 for a chrono, it makes me smile every time my own 7750 wobbles on the wrist.
+1 on the 'Valjoux wobble'..that's what is powering that nice old Hammy of yours, isn't it?.. :thumbup:

Gary, the below pic is of the Oris Divers 65chrono side-by-side w/ a Junghans chrono that I know you're familiar with..

And here's a pic of it residing between the jaws of my calipers..it measure 15.54mm thick..still, it is a comfortable fit for me..

Thanks Chuck! Interestingly it doesn’t look 15+mm thick, so they’ve done a good job on it. I’m assuming that, much like the Junghans, it nestles nicely in the fleshy bit between the bones of your wrist hiding some of the height.

Yes, that's true..however, the Junghans does a little better of that, it seems..

Seems like you collect watches in packs! Nice addition. :thumbup:
