Review of new Asia 7750

[teddy boy]

The Zigmeister,

I re-read your excellent review of the new 28k bph Asia 7750. Thank you again for the wonderful information that you consistently provide.

Given that this movement is appearing in so many non-chronograph reps, I have a question. Would most of the problems that you observed be eliminated if you were just driving hour, minute, second hands and a date? That is would getting rid of the chronograph fix most of the problems?

Thanks.

The biggest problems on the A7750, are sticky or defective reversing wheels for the autowinder, and loose cannon pinion gears which causes hand slippage. Not being serviced and being over or under oiled are the other issues, both of which I see on the non-chrono as well as chrono models.

Certainly the non-chrono ones have less moving parts to go wrong, but as above still can have the common problems of the A7750.
