Butch would be the guy with the inside knowledge.  I've seen a couple like your's in gold electroplate on ebay, but never one in SS with the silver dial.   Looks pretty cool!

I hope Butch will read this post then!!!

Hi srs, welcome aboard. Your father had a chronographs from the 1990's Sea Wolf collection. It has an automatic Valjoux 7750 movement in it and was a very high end piece for that time, exceeding the $1,000.00 price range. It was only offered as you see it, with the metal band or a leather band.

Thanks for the info Butch!!!!I didnt expect it to be that old...nevertheless ,its still in good condition!!

I wonder how much is it worth now.....Is it normal for an automatic watch to lose a bit time over a months period??This one loses about 2 min per month....

I also found a very old Hamilton pocket watch that used to be my grandfathers ...do you guys know any forum for this to look it up??

Thank you!!

Yes! You are a "size fit'em" for this as my grandfather used to say. Please see this link:

As for the value, when that company went bankrupt they dumped all their stock and parts into the market and drove the prices way down. I would guess below $400, but that is just a guess.

Sorry, we only do Zodiacs watches here, but one of the others may be able to send you to someone. Also, BWG does pocket watches too so he may have some info on it.

Hi Marrick, welcome aboard. Butch pretty much spelled out all you need to know on your chornograph, its a really nice peice. I've never seen a silver dialed one before. Its well worth keeping well. As for the value, I would probably think on a good bay on ebay you could do quite well. A white dialed version on leather went for 600 bucks last year, althoughthere was quite a bit of competition of that auction.
Best of luck with it, John
