~~~~~Please know that everything in this thread is my opinion and I don't want to present them as facts!~~~~~~~~ Well, as an old timer on this board I've seen the entire life cycle of the Asian 7750. From the early replicas with the old 21.600bph jewels version which were poorly finished up to the latest 28.800bph version and all the alterations the Chinese could make up. One thing that clearly stands out when it comes to the Asian 7750 is that there are lovers and haters. The later are in the surplus! Especially the Asian 7750 with the running seconds at 6 gets a lot of negative attention. Not entirely without reason as the Chinese altered a perfectly designed movement (Valjoux 7750) to transfer the running seconds. They could have done that without compromising on the performance but they cut some corners and what you get is a relative unreliable movement when not taken care off properly. There are some modifications that can be done to it but I won't go in to that now. What I do want to share is what a great movement the Asian 7750 is. Yes, it is great! In it's original configuration (12-9-6) it is at it's best as all the parts and functions work like they should. It is the basic configuration with the least chance of problems occurring. So why is the Asian 7750 so notorious? Well theoratically it's not the movement itself but the condition under which it is assembled that causes most of the problems. 99% of all Asian 7750 movements are either dirty, dry, over oiled or a combination thereof. Ad poor quality checks /craftsman ship and you can ad loose screws, uneven hair spring coils, loose pallet stones and a lot of other stuff to the balance. But what can you expect from a 300$ watch? In order to give us these beautiful reps for such low prices they have to cut expenses somewhere. If they would ad 8 hours of proper assembling and QC's the price would dramatically increase. And let's be honest. Most people don't care if their movement is clean and on par with the genuine.They are more concerned with the aesthetics. And for the few RWG nerds that are? There is The Zigmeister of every other watch maker. So my point is: The Asian 7750 is in it's basic configuration a great movement and on par with the ETA 7750 if assembled and checked correctly. That does mean that sometimes parts needs to be cleaned, oiled or even replaced. But after that... just perfect. Some nice pictures to conclude! Mark Here's a random picture of an Asian 7750 as can be found in almost all reps. Dirty and shabby... Here's an Asian 7750 after a full clean and oiling with the screws replaced by silver ones. Compare it to a factory delivered Chronometer ETA 7750 Side by side... Performance of the Asian 7750 Performance of the Chronometer ETA 7750

Very nice mate. Stunning collection too.

Nice box. Quite a beast but very pretty at the same time.

Just dust on the glass

Sea-dwell'n Saturday !

Dont use them sites mate Go down to our trusted dealer section.... You have 2 things you need to do before you buy... research the dealers for what suits you and your location And research the SA... There is loads of threads here that discuss the best options.... but short story is there are 2 decent versions that you can buy... H maker and Noob maker... Find the search bar at teh top of the page and start searching mate...it will take time and dont rush... Trust me I know the anticipation you must be feeling but just atke a breath and relax...there is a lot more to this than you might think and who knows you may want to stick around... TBH you dont help yourself with this as you first post... its considered a bit off to just post your first thread as a "I want to know where to buy the best....?" (Its referred to here as "Who has the best Sub.." thread) I would humbly suggest you go to the Noob section and have a read around..get to know the place and how things work in terms of dealers and reps...because there aint as many as you might think... And introduce yourself in the intro section... And FWIW...if you want the best Breitling rep OTB ...currently its the Superocean Abyss and Super Ocean II Chrono

Pics of some gen parts ill have later this week!

My inquiry is not due to anticipation, anxiety or impatience. I can see DS is very talented and working very hard to deliver a quality product. I'm sure many on the list would appreciate the opportunity to see the fruition of his efforts prior to making payment.

Looks stunning mate great value too !

WoWzErS! That's one impressive looking piece of furniture! It must make you happy to see it every day.

Beautiful watch, and the nice thing about Tudors, they fly completely under the radar. If you need a gold bezel, give mymanmatt a shout, he has access to lots of very nice parts, including bezels.
