I have this on a tank I just bought.
I'd like to be have a dual guage set up like my Great White.
I see Amazon cheap chineese options but am nervous to order.

The valve you have appears to be a "Jubilee." I have two tanks with this valve and both valves are excellent. You might want to consider saving the cost of a replacement valve and just doing deadhead tests to determine the pressure in your tank.

well ....upon the first fill there was a leak in the valve at the tank. when I tried to drain the tank at about 175bar it took 30 minutes fully open to purge and smelled like a moldy garden hose.Valve removed and its corroded to hell.inside of tank has yellow s$%t spots in it.its going back to the vendor I bought it from.

SOMEONE was not very careful about removing moisture while filling! Bummer!

I called the vendor who I bought it from and they said well "sorry that's why we sold it cheap,we dont test them " It was not advertised as such.
It was cheap because it only has a year left and I fill myself so i'm not that concerned of the date.

We're it me, I'd get a Scott SCBA valve to replace the one on tank. MAKE SURE you clean inside of tank & dry THOROUGHLY. What brand is that tank? Scott valves can be had cheaply on Ebay.

took the valve to the dive shop and the owner rebuilt and cleaned it for no charge.
