RJ,

yes, of course it's ETA now. I just wanted to make the point that it was originally Valjoux. :D

For all those who want to be nerdy about movements:

You can get all details on the ETA site: http://www.eta.ch/

skip the intro, then go to "Mecaline Chronographs", and use the arrow to page right to 13-1/4"'.

There is 7750, 7751, 7752, and 7753.

The 7753 is the one with the proper tri-compax configuration at 3, 6 and 9 O'clock, which is a "recent" development.

Here is also a very interesting article on the 7750 on chronomaddox site:

Thanks for the link. Good luck with your choice.
