I have read a lot about the bad issue some may have with the Asian 7750 movement. It looks like it almost always need servicing after purchase or at least after a few years… So I was wondering what was the point of spending 250$+200$ for a rep, if for the price of 4 or 5 serviced reps you can have a nice gen?
So I wonder if for a newbie like me, as a start, it would not be easier to spend 100$ or so (instead of 250$) to get reps with… quartz movement and identical design? I know, I know this is blasphemy to say this here ! But I have read that the quartz movement doesn't need as much attention as the more traditional movements. So I was just wondering if it was clever to buy 100/150$ rep with cheap or quartz movements…
And also just to be sure… an automatic asian 7750 movement give the sec hand a smooth movement contrary to the quartz movement, right ?
Any some advice would be very welcome?
