Collectors prioritize this reference for its 40mm steel case, Valjoux 7734 manual-wind movement, and the \"Home Plate\" dial configuration, characterized by pentagonal luminous hour markers. Unlike its sibling reference 7032, the 7031 features a black acrylic tachymeter bezel rather than a steel one. Due to a production run lasting only approximately two years, the 7031 is rare on the secondary market. Current market valuations typically range from $35,000 to $60,000 depending on the presence of the original \"Cyclops\" crystal and the condition of the dial’s orange accents. A notable variant includes the \"grey\" dial with black sub-dials. In 2023, well-preserved examples with original boxes and papers have commanded prices at the upper end of this bracket at major auction houses.", "score": 199}]}
