This is where this thread went!! I coulda sworn I put it in General and it just walked off into oblivion...
Very appropriate name slay...
Maybe get a non midget referee?
Is that still functional? It looks pretty sweet... how fast can you get off shots with it? What's the range like?
I am interested to know what you find... I would have suspected rather than cram a mechanical movement and quartz into one case (also making it hard to make it light) it would just be a quartz with digital and analogue displays... thus impossible to be off...
As long as you know... yes it does seem women with big watches is the next in thing.
I think the value of a swiss eta is much better than getting the quartz so if she will be ok with it then I think it's the better way to go.
I am interested in the 10 seconds out of sync thing... I thought the hands were driven by the same quartz movement that ran the digital portion... how could that come out of sync?
If she is ok with the bigger one then that's good, but I believe the 38mm Auto is the "Mans" version of the watch... the ladies is a smaller quartz as per gen.
I am no expert for sure, but just off the top of my head it seems that moving the seconds from 9 to 12 should only require a little tinkering and a few gears unlike moving all the way around to 6... I would think not as much stress as seconds at 6...
I was always a subscriber to the smiley face theory... set your watch to 8:20 and you will notice it does look just overall less appealing than 10:10

I assume they use 8 instead of 10 minutes since it does balance the hands (at 8 minutse after the hour the hour hand will be just a bit past the 10 so makes sense to be a bit before the 2 mark).
China is big... and lots of it is very sparsely populated and back country... getting rid of stuff like rep watches being made in China will be like getting rid of crack houses in ghettos and meth kitchens in rural US areas...
Best wishes and holiday cheer to you also! Regardless of what or if you choose to celebrate anything at this time of year, I hope you are finding joys and cheer in your life from and for those around you!
Happy holidays and/or Happiness and Joy all the same to you and yours!
Well low funds are forcing me to wait for now, but hopefully other things to look foward too will be the different versions and I am still holding a little hope they will make the metal/rubber bracelet.
It does seem a bit high price for Asian 7750 but if the AR is as good as it's supposed to be and details are as accurate as they appear I think it's not an unreasonably high price... would really like to see the metal bracelet though. Sad that won't be comming.
I did read before but didn't get it with my search... I appreciate all your articles The Zigmeister and the effort you have put in... just so much reading sometimes it's overload even when its right there
Thanks for answering!
Sorry to hear, especially at this time of year. Best wishes on a speedy recovery and hopefully holiday joy still finds you through your difficult time.
I know this info is out there, I am just not finding it so if anyone can help appreciated...
I know moving the seconds to 6 on 7750 is just asking for trouble, but is there a significant difference in reliability for 6 9 12 vs 3 6 9 subdial layouts as long as seconds are at 9?
Thanks!
