After a little bit of searching it seems like there is no fix out there for the sunken datewheel on Asian 7750 movements. It's a shame because I really want to order the Montblanc Timewalker Chrono watch but that is the only flaw that really bothers me. However, I noticed on a dealer's website that there is an option for a Swiss ETA 7753 option. It's about triple the price but I'm wondering if this fixes the datewheel issue? Also, is it really that much better of a movement to justify the extra money? As I understand it, the Timewalker is one of the best reps out there and if this more expensive movement will give me years of reliability AND fix the datewheel then I think it might be worth it. Any comments? Thanks.

Actually I am only working here for about a month or so. I get to travel all over the world so I take try to take advantage of the places I've been. I never thought that I would find this many reps outside of China. I would definately like to setup some sort of contact here if I could with a vendor and then sell them ALOT cheaper, but unfortunately, I have no idea how to set something like that up. It's amazing how much they will quote you at first. I bought a Panerai Luminor Marina for $60 Ringit (about $18US) they originally quoted me about $250 Ringit. As soon as you walk away they start dropping the price. I'm sure it would be even cheaper if they sold them in bulk to me. I would love to figure out a way I could send a bunch back to Canada wihtout getting them confiscated. Any ideas? BTW, if you ever get a chance to come to Malaysia you HAVE to see the Petronas towers. I couldnt stop staring at them. They don't even look real when you are standing beneath them. Pictures do not even come close to portraying their beauty!

Teejay, You are right about Silix. I meant to say The Zigmeister who, I believe, services watches in Canada. Thanks. Anton, I knew something didn't seem right and seeing those two pics you posted comfirmed that I was looking at two different models. The second pic is definately the one I want. I can't seem to locate it here though. I guess I'm gonna hafta wait until I get back to Canada and then just order it online from one of the dealers. I was really hoping to pick one up for less than $50. Malaysia is treating me well since I have about a week off while I wait for work related items to arrive. Getting paid to shop and see the sights, not a bad deal

I'm currently working in Malaysia and have come across a rep I've been wanting for a while. I've found the Mont Blanc Timewalker Chrono. However, it has the white datewheel and the push pin at the 8 o'clock position. Maybe I'm looking at the wrong model but I thought that it was supposed to have the pushpin at the 10 o'clock position and a black datewheel. Is it possible to switch the datewheel to black? Would someone like Silux be able to do that? What price range am I looking at? Thanks in advance. BTW, I've already bought 2 reps for about $20US each. I can't believe some of the prices the dealers are asking online. They must be making a hefty profit. Shakey
