have a look at this, case.dial, ref- and serial-number seem correct (hands most definitely not).
all 760s I have seen (and own) are venus based, hard to believe there was a Valjoux variant, but interesting:

May simply be a movement swap, I'm tempted to think that is more likely than anything else. Haven't tried to see whether they are interchangeable, but wouldn't surprise me.

Venus 175 movement - should have a signed bridge (bridge wrong color). Big hands are interchangeable between Venus 150, 152, 175, 178, 188, 200 and Valjoux 7730, 7731, 7733, 7734, 7736, 7737. Hard to say how this mess came about but an R22 would never fit. From the Firesign Theater "They knew not their holes from an ass on the ground"! Craig
