Thanks for the link mate. Interesting reading.
However, its now made me more nervous. Particularly with regards to the line
Did some searching and both the Aquaracer Chrono Day Date and my second choice Carrera Chrono Racing both use the A7750 movement. (Valjoux 28800 BPH version) People talk about putting in genuine Swiss 7750 movements but that bumps a sub $300 watch to nearer $800! Which kind of defeats the point to me. I'm not expecting accuracy like on a genuine Tag. Im not even planning on using any of the special functions if thats likely to kill it. But Id like to be confident its going to last 2-3 years, not lose more than a minute or so a week, and not go so wrong as to become an expensive bangle. Which going from reports on here seems unlikely.
Too many questions. Sorry
