Guest chronomat123 Posted August 13, 2006 Report Share Posted August 13, 2006 I love this thing. From EL. Hasn't missed a beat, either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HeWhoIsLikeGod Posted August 13, 2006 Report Share Posted August 13, 2006 Yeah I love that watch, I got a Swiss 7750 version of the Daytona and it is so freaking accurate it's great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yodaddynukka Posted August 14, 2006 Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 normally im not a fan of the current daytona because of the modified movement but i really want the 2005/2006 model EL posted in PG2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le-LibanoMarseillais Posted August 14, 2006 Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 i just received my Asian 7750 2 tone version. it is simply GREAT. but i have to say that the sound of the rubber inside of the watch scared me ! i thought something was broken inside ! the Asian motor is very loud compared to the jap and ETA !! i think this is the only (minus) in regards to this watch ! other than that it is simply great !!! (bought from Joshua OF COURSE !!!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yodaddynukka Posted August 14, 2006 Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 even swiss valjoux 7750/53 will be loud and wobble, just one of the flaws u have to live with... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4fun Posted August 14, 2006 Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 even swiss valjoux 7750/53 will be loud and wobble, just one of the flaws u have to live with... Yes, that's true. When wearing my 7753 panda, it's like having a rattle on my wrist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le-LibanoMarseillais Posted August 14, 2006 Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 i think it is a shame really ! maybe with the next generation of movements it will be fixed !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pugwash Posted August 14, 2006 Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 i think it is a shame really ! maybe with the next generation of movements it will be fixed !!! Seeing as ETA in Switzerland hasn't 'fixed' it yet, I doubt the replica makers will even consider it. All 7750s/7753s, Swiss or Asian, have huge rotor wobble. It's part of their charm, watching them dance on your wrist. It'll not get fixed as it's not broken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yodaddynukka Posted August 14, 2006 Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 the wobble is your friend. the wobble is your friend. the wobble is your friend. Yes, that's true.

Watchmeister Posted August 14, 2006 Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 The wobble is certainly your friend if that is what comes in the watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmex Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 Very nice watch! The wobble is due to the rotor winding in one direction only (unidirectional). Most ETAs wind in both directions (bidirectional) so there is resistance regardless of which way the rotor rotates. On the 775x there is resistance in only one direction--when you rotate it the other way it just free-wheels. It is the design of the winding mechanism and nothing more. The gen is bi-directional as is the El Primero. Cheers! Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Le-LibanoMarseillais Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 i have noticed on many occations that my watch is simply late ! it has been missing out and that worries me ! is it normal for an asian 7750 movement? i have 2 other watches with ETA movement and they are working to perfection !

rek001 Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 Chronomat, how long ago did you get this from Eddie? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmex Posted August 26, 2006 Report Share Posted August 26, 2006 (edited) Mmmmmm... El Primero.... Ubiquitous... your frankenwatch makes me drool I like it more than a GEN version with the El Primero base. Rolex changed the escapement to their microstella and reduced the beat to 28800bph (and that's the beat of their current inhouse version too). Yours ticks smoother... nice! Have you read the article on the El Primero in the Horologium (TZ)? Cheers and enjoy it... I enjoy looking at it!
