Some ETA 7753 chrono love today ...

So, both colors are just in tang buckle version, right - if that is so, I'm in for one brown tobacco. I'm also in for one black for deployant, but I guess that will be in some future run.

This baby is back on my wrist - I didn't wear it for one day and I already started to miss it

Sunny day after long time here, decided to let my 116610 replace 005K for today

This not going anywhere from my wrist since I got it

Did anyone bought this ? Impressions ?

OK, after some digging through my bookmarks, I have found where I got these:

As a side benefit, you can find loads of all kind of movement technical info on this site

Going all black for Friday...

I have it, it's 13Mb - just let me know how I can send it to you.

BTW, I looked at that one, I'm not quite sure you'll be able to source all of missing parts ... US$80 is not that much, but parts are also getting quite scarce and expensive these days. Good luck anyway !

If I would have to choose just one car, I have no doubt:

C-SUB for sunny, but cold winter day

OK, I give up, I'm weak ... just placed order for one of these. Now, the wait begins

I would just add:

CG: V,LH,TB/WSO/Sead

This is what my dealer of choice told me about CNY schedule:

"... the post office will be close at 27th JAN the will open at 13th FEB"

Hope that helps.

Noob 116610 for V-day ...

MC for end of week

Finally installed Taka DW into this beauty ... BTW, I just hate how DSNs cases kill my straps

Still on my wrist ... painting it black

Paint it black ...

I don't see what's so strange here ? It says movement is 8215 - meaning Myota - not high end movement, but definitely great, reliable, "workhorse" movement. I have seen Citizen divers with this movement running 10+ years without even being opened, let alone serviced, being used and abused daily, and still running inside 10 secs-a-day. So, if you look markups in rest of watch industry this is not so high price. I've seen huge fugly 7750-based Invicta, with design elements taken from Zenith Defy Extreme (equally ugly in my book) in one local shop going for almost 4000 Euros - and people were buying...

So if I had a rep tricompax, best I could hope for is to swap in a new A7753 to fix the sunken datewheel issue, right? A Lello datewheel that fits an A7750 should also work in an A7753, right?

Yes and no - problem with replacing A7750 with A7753 is thatA7753 is thinner then 7750, so you would have problems with crown alignment, basically case must be made to accept 7753.

I believe there is an issue with the A7753 as the date wheel is not exactly in line with the ETA version so it probably wouldn't work. There was a big write up about it when the A7753 came out for the chrono PAM's.

Not exactly true ... this is picture of A7753 movement with 7750 date wheel and A7750 dial:

Another problem for tri-compax Navi is lack of date quick-set, and design of date driving wheel on A7753, that is not identical to ETA 7753 version, preventing setting of date by going back and forth from 10PM to 2AM, moving dates forward in such way.
