I know that some people will never except a Chinese made product over a Swiss,ok fair enough. But the reality Is that the Chinese are making very good watches and very good movements that run these watches. How good are the chinese watchmakers? Well the Swiss are sending many of there watch parts and componets to China to be made. The Swiss are outsourcing to China because the Chinese are delivering In a "big way" at a much lower price point. I feel that the A7750 Is as good or very close to the Valjoux. My A7750 are keeping excellent time. I also dont baby my watches, I dont abuse them understand but I use them like I would any gen. I do keep them out of the water and away from steem and Im also very careful(gentle) when engaging the crown. RWG's very own Zigmeister has talked about how good a properly serviced A7750 Is, I agree with him. Several years back the Asian movements were unfinished and not refined. But look at some of the work that they are doing today. Decorating the rotors and bridges,plates, using different colored screws. I am very Impressed with what the Chinese and rep makers are doing today. Chinese junk? not anymore. Remember when the Koreans threw there hat Into the auto Industry ring? Well everybody laughed Including myself. Back In 1986 they came out with the Hyundai Excell What a piece of [censored] that car was. They were usally shot at 50.000 mi,If you were lucky.So they stole a page from the Japinesse play book. Over the years the Korian car company Improved. Have you seen a Hyundai lately, Korian junk? Im afraid not.I was looking at a new Sonota the other day, the f&f and quailty of workmenship was beyond reproach. Every bit as good If not better than a Honda,Nissan,Toyota,etc. Hyundai has won many awards resently, JD powers and tons of accolades from Car and Driver, Motor Trend, Automoble Mag, Road and track, the list go's on and on. I did not mean to go so far off topic but I feel that the Hyundai analogy Is a good one.I also wantd to look at the bigger picture. The Chinese were laughed at not long ago for making sub par timepieces. But like the Korians they have Improved over the years and now make a quailty product, replicas Included. Is the A7750 as good as the Valjoux? I say "It's very close". Mike
