iglutikut Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 (edited) any? to me they look exactly the same other then the movements are stamped ETA 7753 and ETA 7750, but they both have the exact same 3,6,9 layout (running second at nine) Edited January 19, 2007 by iglutikut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pugwash Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 any? to me they look exactly the same other then the movements are stamped ETA 7753 and ETA 7750, but they both have the exact same 3,6,9 layout (running second at nine) If it's 3-6-9, it's a 7753. If it's 12-9-6, it's a 7750. If it's 3-6-9 and it's stamped 7750, it's a copy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 Please correct me if I'm wrong... The difference I believe is in the manner of which the minute counter subdial's output is shifted from 12:00 to 3:00. The Swiss 7753 is contained within a bridge with the datewheel integrated on top of it. The 7750 (either Asian or modified Swiss) has a different kind of bridge that simply fits on top of the movement, so the datewheel sits under this module (hence making the date appear 'sunken' or recessed in the date window on these models).

Pugwash Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 ... Like anyone would mistake an EP400 for a 7750 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alligoat Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 Hey Randy, maybe you could explain the hands part for me. Are the sizes different? Swiss and asian? Thanks, MD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iglutikut Posted January 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 Wow you guys are fast.. Thanks for responding. So I have 3 chrono movements total. 1. dead asian 7750 (3,6,9) dressed to look like ETA 2. Genuine 7750 pulled from a beatup TAG 3. 7750 tricompax stamped/markings exactly the same as #2 but in 3,6,9 configuration 7750 asian looks almost like the tricompax but not quite. Quality is definately not the same.... tricompax looks (markings/quality wise) exactly like 7750 from TAG, cept TAG is in 6,9,12 config. I wish I could get a nice pic of the movments for you all to see but I cannot get close enough in focus to show. I simply have no use for the two 7750's and wanted to know more about the 7750 (3,6,9) before I decided to get rid of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
