The movement is a manual wind version of the Valjoux 7760 movement.

Enjoy the pics....

I really like the looks of my 308 however would wear it more if it was an automatic. Not a bad choice special edition 500 made then no more. Who knows concearning future values. Special editions which are ss seem to hold their value well.

I like it..especially the dial and the blue hands....I have been shopping for one for 2 wks....almost bought a preowned one from a Paneristi...almost. However, when all things considered, I ended up buying a brand new one from a US AD today. It was this AD's first, and possibly last one they'll see. The actual watch will arrive next week, and I can't wait to put it on my wrist!!

I'm thinking its not as RARE as its supposed to be, compare to other Limited Edition models. I called a lot of U.S. AD's....and found at least 4 AD's who had it in stock. Plus, there seems to be a few for sale on Paneristi. Therefore, don't buy it hoping it will gain in value. Buy it because you love it.

Peace

Considering there are about 500 ADs I would say most do not have one. The chronographs also seem to sit a bit longer. It may be just a large number shipped who knows. It is definitely not a PAM 26 but still unique.
