Being a newbie to the RW game I've been trying to read up on everything about quality, movements, etc... The issue for me is that I'm not sure what information is up to date or if the website stays a movement is new, if its really new... I was mulling between a couple of brands and decided on the Portuguese Chrono from Trusties. This seems to be the most up to date version as the 4 is correct as opposed to the older versions. What is freaking me out is that the movement is the 7750 which from what I've been reading is a time bomb, even the newer 29j version. Is this true still? Also can someone explain the 6 second hand issue? I can't seem to get a clear understanding on what that is. Thanks in advance
