I don't want to buy the watch, but curious about the caliber.

Valjoux/ETA 7750, like almost every automatic chronograph that doesn't have in-house movement.

FYI - PodiumLaser is a scammer and a thief. After confirming back to me that this watch was still available/for sale and providing me with payment instructions, I paid him $1k for this watch and he never shipped it. About 5 days later he gave this total BS story that the guy taking the watch to the shipper got robbed. He has not returned my payment despite multiple requests. This guy is a total scammer - DO NOT do business with him!

The seller would only accept non-goods payment methods (Wire/Venmo/etc.). I asked and confirmed 3 different references for prior watch sale transactions. I paid him via Venmo but did use my Amex credit card. After I paid he went dark for about a week. I finally got a message through Instagram with a BS story that his "delegate" got robbed while bringing the watch to the shipper. I asked for a copy of the police report for the robbery (which I knew was a joke). Of course that was never provided. A few days later he responded back to me and said "just dispute the transaction". Since then he has gone dark with zero comms and will not answer the phone number he provided me. Of course I can dispute the charge with Amex but based on my research that will result in my Venmo account getting banned. Possibly also the recipient's account will be banned as well. However I now believe the recipient account was a mule anyway. What is scary is that this guy is continuing to try and sell high dollar items online and I guarantee those people will never receive their purchases. His account on Instagram is @Podiumlaser and I now believe none of his photos/posts are genuine and all put up for illusion to facilitate the scams. I will continue to search and undermine any online posts I can find under this guy's Podiumlaser handle and gmail address. FYI - if you email him at podiumlaser@gmail.com he will respond quickly if you are inquiring about buying and paying for one of his sham postings.

Please can I just say at this point that when purchasing goods or services you should never, ever agree to send a "non-goods" or "friends and family payment" via any payment method. It's actually fraud by the seller and as soon as any seller requested that form of payment in respect of anything I wanted to buy I would know all I needed to know to avoid dealing with them.

It's scary that we have a scammer here on these forums who still has an active account. He has a few for sale posts in the fountain pen sales area as well. Admins should ban his account to protect users here. I know that I am new here and new to fountain pen collecting but I can provide any additional evidence/references if required. We need to stop Podiumlaser from scamming anyone else.

Admins can only do so much.
At a particular point...it becomes the responsibility of the buyer to know better and do better.
It is understandable that some are uninformed...but there are baseline "Red Flags" that just scream "SCAMMER".
Using a "Non-Goods" method of payment is a HUGE one. Non-traditional method of payment is another one.
It's like you trying to buy something in a store and instead of paying at the register, "Some guy" tells you to come to the back of the store and pay there.
One of two things is going to happen...you're going to get beaten and robbed...or you're buying hot items and subject to a police sting.
Either way...bad mojo.

Even as a seller you have to be careful. I attempted to sell a gold nib on here and every reply I received wanted me to do some "Friends and family" mess through Paypal instead of the standard.
I took that as a red flag and shut down every request that suggested that route and told them to get the hell on their way.
I don't care about paying fees or shipping if I know the transaction is legit...why should they buyer? If you don't have enough money to do things the right way....walk.
