I cant decide between them, I want A7750 but everyone says its noticably thicker than A23J but its long second hand is working. And some others says that it wont work after a while, so you will end up with a not working thicker replica.

Is there any other model on market that has everything functional and same thickness as gen? For prices over 500$ ? (Talking about 116520)

Thanks

There are Some opinions about this subject and you have to Make the choice for yourself.
I prefer the 23j jf above the a7750. Just because the a7750 with sec@6 is a 'problem movement'.
The looks of the 23j are very gen like and the movement is perfect, the only problem is the non working chrono.
If you want a watch that has a working chrono but if you play with the chrono (it can be a ticking time bomb) and you accept the fact that the case is bigger ánd to pay much more then 23j, then stick with the a7750. If you want a good looking watch for a good price with a less issue movement, pick the 23j. The choice is yours ;)

Edit: and there is no such thing as a better daytona under $500 with better movement for what i know. Correct me if i'm wrong people!

i would go for the A7750 version from JF. Because the dial finish and quality is better than the 23J version. Also im not anal about the case thickness. As shown above, its nearly visible.

Awesome ! It looks like the dial coronet has been updated, and is know more gen-looking, with a smaller and flatter inferior "circle"... Any more pics, please ? :)

I think this is a better alternative than the ticking timebomb 7750... At least I'm getting one of those 23J's !

The A23J feels much nicer and slimmer on the wrist. Visually, the difference isn't huge (unless you are looking for it) but the feel on the wrist is totally different.

Thanks for photos, actually im willing to give over 500-600$ if there is a better version than 23J or A7750 29J :)

23J is slimmer but it seems A7750 is better looking (as quality) than 23J

The "working Chrono" of the 7750 is basically useless because it will one day not work. There is a thread about how to properly use the Chrono on a 7750 and even that says to not use it haha Besides if you really want to time something you're going to use your phone, just like if you need to know the exact correct time, you use your phone.

23j is so slim and light, it feels gen. Others may not notice the thickness but you probably will

It seems I will end up with A23J :)

Does anyone have both of them and can tell the visual difference of them on looks?

Good for you, you surely have had a good sample;

though many here took the 300$ gamble a few times, and ended up loosing their money.
