Watchmeister Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 I suspect Ziggy was ready to kill me after my last stunt. But it does make a difference. I actually went to the AD at lunch yesterday and made them pull out the Cousteau they have in stock and it clearly has a uniform lacquer coating around the inner bezel so this will be an improvement. Euno- Glad the movement is running well. I have bought more than a dozen from the seller and the six that have been mounted are all performing beautifully so far. There is nothing better than a true Swiss movement. None of this swiss movement subcontracted out to Asia stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK471 Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 Guys, I'm sorry if this question has been asked and answered, but the one to buy if you're doing the Swiss swap is the slow beat, is it not? Isn't this a hands compatibility issue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eunomians Posted July 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 The faster beat 7750 version is much better made overall (yes, I have owned both). You get what you pay for. But, you are correct about the hand sizes. The cheaper slower beat version has hands that fit the Swiss 7750. The fast best version needs the chrono hands to be broached and epoxied. If you want the best possible version, go for the fast beat version despite all the added mods that need to be done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
