Bell & Ross by Sinn - ID & value?

[Podie]

One of the guys in the office has had this for the last 10 or 11 years. It sat in a box doing nothing until recently when he had it serviced and is now wearing it daily.



Can anyone ID the model and give an indication of value?

TIA

I can't find the model ref (yet) though am wading through a few old Wristwatch Annuals. I think it dates back to approx 1998/9 when Sinn manufactured B&R for them. Much of that old B&R range are designs that look a lot like the Sinns of the day. This looks like it shares a case/integrated bracelet with the Sinn 157 St Ty of the period.

On value, I'd say it's worth circa £1K though a bit north or south of that depending on buying/selling and private/dealer sale.

ETA: I suspect it's a Valjoux 7750 movement

Cheers SW.

The guys on TZ have been pretty good - http://www.tz-uk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t...

Quite an interesting model by all accounts.

Definitely a 7750.

Thanks. Sinn seemed to use the 7750 and the Lemania 5100 in most of their watches back then. Of course, the 5100 has the tell-tale 24h counter at 12.
