looks like the seller will only ship within italy. These models use to come up quite a lot, but are getting a bit rare now. I never bought one of these two tone chrono's for a couple of reasons.
1)No rotating bezel, 2)acrylic rather than sapphire glass and the style never sat well with me. This paticular case design is a generic one, I've seen many other early 90's 7750 models use the exact same case and dial, minus the zodiac stamping of couse.

Now the red point dive model with the 7750, rotating bezel, president style band is a different prospect, really nice watch. Like hens teeth at the moment.

Be aware that ANY 1990's model has a problem with the crown/stem combo (they are one part), and when it breaks, strips, etc, the is virtually nothing to fit them, even generic.

Hi Butch, yes common enough problem, I was looking at a  full sized gold point watch recently which had been fitted with a crown from a mid sized model, not sure how the screw down was supposed to work  ::) , needless to say, i passed.
