r11co Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 A few questions about these are we are seeing them quite a lot on PAM and Ferrari reps now. Firstly, is this an officially available modification (the info on the 775x range is now password protected on the ETA site). Secondly, has the modification been reproduced faithfully or is this another bodged mod like the 7753 impersonators and the faux GMT 2836s?

RWG Technical Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 It is an officially ETA available 7750 series model, the 7754. The genuine one is very well made, unfortunatly the Asian copy, does not mimic the Swiss one, it's a totally different design, and a poorly executed one at best... I am not sure how wide spread the problems with the movement are, I have seen a couple first hand, one of them I could not fix, it was a basket case. Is this enough to say stay away from the model??? I can't say, what I can offer is that servicing the movement, will not fix the issues I have come accross, it's a poor design, with crappy parts, and doesn't work well at all...

That's what I needed to hear, and sadly exactly what I was expecting. Thanks for the info Rob, much appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OiRogers Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 As I've posted elsewhere on this board... I have a a7750 28.8k with the GMT mod in a pam 186 and its run like a champ for me... super accurate and very durable. i'm guessing that like every other rep, this one is hit or miss. I got lucky with a hit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dosanim Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 I wish I read this sooner, then I might stay with non GMT version of Ferrari watch. At least, watch arrived fine w/ fairly accurate time keeping. I'm crossing my fingers... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
