Product Description
Revue Thommen’s beginnings date all the way back to 1853 in the small Swiss town of Waldenburg. After nearly a century of crafting its own watch movements, the company began producing aviation instruments for the Swiss Air Force in 1936 Read More
Specifically not purchasing this due to sloppy and erroneous ad copy. Just FYI for whatever lazy vendor and or Massdrop employee isn’t getting my money.
Hurry hurry hurry order the Chrono and recieve the day date then send it back after you drop it clean it with a brillow pad as your only recourse for false advertising
I have the 40mm chrono version with 7750 and I’m very happy. I paid $700 (not here) with the metal bracelet which is quite nice. I put it on a strap and proceeded to beat the crap out of it at work and it performs flawlessly. I searched for a long time for a 40mm 7750 for under $1000 and so glad I found this one. I don’t think the company even exists anymore so I wouldn’t worry about grey market on this one.
Shocking news: MD says Steve Suhlay just joined the drop! Maybe he can tell us what he sees here that the rest of us are somehow missing?

RayFUm, so now the first picture is of the day date model, the rest are of chronographs. Valjoux 7750 is listed as movement, but rest of specs aren’t updated The saga continues!
WatchyoutalkingaboutYes, I see the description still says ETA 2836-2, but the specs now say ETA Valjoux 7750 25. Frankly, I don't see where the confusion lies--this is obviously a ETA 2836-2, with a ETA Valjoux 7750 25 movement that takes batteries, just like any other nuclear, and or steam, powered watch sold everyday on a zillion internet sites, all throughout the galaxy. Or, put another way, if you're walking down the street, and I guy steps out of the alley and says: "Psst, buddy--wanna buy a Rolex?" It's up to you, not him to determine if the thirty-bucks he's asking for it, is a fair price.
You know, you'd think when one of MD's minions was stuck for the facts, they could zip on over to Amazon too--to save us the trouble--and themselves a little embarrassment?
Here's the correct description for this watch, according to Amazon:
Brushed stainless steel case (41.5 mm in diameter, 14 mm thick), Sapphire crystal screw-down case-back, Polished stainless steel bezel, Black dial with Revue Thommen logo at the 2 o'clock position, Silver-tone luminescent hands with red chronograph hands, Silver-tone indices and luminescent dot hour markers, Small seconds sub-dial at the 9 o'clock position, Weekday and date windows at the 3 o'clock position, Chronograph function features a sweep seconds hand, 30 minute counter at the 12 o'clock position and 12 hour counter at the 6 o'clock position, Tachymeter scale displayed around the flange, Scratch resistant sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating, Screw-down crown, Swiss automatic movement, ETA caliber 7750, Power reserve of 42 hours, Water resistant to 5 ATM/50 meters/165 feet, Brushed and polished stainless steel bracelet, Deployment clasp with safety, Model number: 17081.6134.
But you work for massdrop now, which means the check doesn’t have to be written out correctly, so I addressed it to myself and cashed it. Now get to work sir.
WatchyoutalkingaboutSorry, policy--can't proceed without the pink and yellow copies (signed and stamped) of form MD/719a. Please contact the Ministry of Records directly
The no-numerals versions are actually far less blah/ugly than the average 7750 “dress fliegers” in this style. Not less blah/ugly enough to make me want one, granted, but many are a lot blaher/uglier.
johnnylarueAt this price range there are a lot of interesting watches competing for our attention. This one reminds me a of a girl one might take to the Prom--after the first, second, and third choices have turned you down.

Massdrop strives to provide accurate descriptions of products and services on the Massdrop Sites.

FYI.....
In case you are interested and know nothing of watches. The image is a Chronograph, the description is for a watch with three hands and a day date complication. The watch shown most likely uses an ETA 7750 or Sellita SW500 movement these are not the movement described. Point being, if you want a Chronograph you may not get it, if you want a three handed day date you might not get it.

PBF123650 for the day date would be a bad deal, 650 for a valjoux 7750 would be decent depending on the movement grade. It’s just amusing that someone, somewhere wants me to part with my money for this watch, and they can’t be arsed to get the ad copy correct. Caveat Emptor, indeed.
