Freshly done 024a:

~~~~~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

Hi everyone! I'm new here but been lurking on RWG for a while now. Love everything that goes on here in RWG. Thanks for helping out everyone! Take care all

Hi and welcome to the forum. Like many, you came here because of the "perfect sub". Nevertheles, it is a nice watch but to be straight forward trustys sub and all other subs td's carry are bad. Better is new ceramic version or tc, wm9, bk models. They are all sold out at the moment but if you are lucky you find one in the m2m sales section. Rather safe the money for a service when it comes to the upgrade of swiss movement. Bp maker (what trusty has mostly) use refurbished or just old swiss movements that are dirty and dry. Most asian movements are brand new and most of the times just as reliable this is just my opinion and I guess everybody has his own choice. If you just like the subtle look of the classic sub go for the sea dweller trusty sells which you get for under 200usd. This is way more accurate then the sub and would be a great rep. Stick to the forum and you will learn quickly! Please safe the money and wait until either tc releases a new sub (probably pretty soon) or find a nice tc 16610lv in the m2m section. You will be much much happier than with the current out if the box sub. Cheers and hope it helps

Should be instantly, PM me details wiil try to resolve.

I like it too ... It is a Aviator: http://www.russian-watches.info/product/russian-mechanical-chronograph-watch-poljot-aviator-3133-kirova-retro/

Surprising how well gen parts fit together .

007 today:

Need a laugh guys picked up one of these. Just for local crap I have 4 others as this can not be your only car.

So for the real petrol heads out there, I found this in my files today. It is me in the white Lightweight Jaguar E Type on the front row in the Spa 6 Hour race that I led for 4 1/2 hours before having a rear brake problem, we finished second by three mins (1 lap) after losing 15 mins in the pits The second photo is a wall to wall photo in my garage of the first lap at that race where I am leading several GT40's, Cobras and other 60's exotics. I would guess there is over $25 million in machinery there! Regards AJ

My daily driver. Love the car. I'm sure if I were dreaming the R8 would be parked out front, or the Aston Martin DBS ...

Here´s my home PC And here´s my work laptop

There you go: 2836-1 2836-2 2824-1 2824-2 They are quality wise as good as each other. That should answer the questions, Cheers, Tim
