Hey fellas, is an a7750 on the older PAMs a direct swap after removing the chrono bits? Likewise anyone know if we can swap in a 7753 on an a7750? Looking to get started on a few projects but wanted to see if anyone has had success in the past. TIA

Any 7750 whether it be ETA or clone should work in a non chronograph Panerai once the chronograph parts are removed. As far as the 7753 to 7750 swap, I believe you would need to source a new date wheel and you may also have issues with the dial positioning in the case since it's intended for a thicker movement.

Also, from my personal experience, sometimes you get different pinion diameters for some of the hands, so best keep those wheels if the teeth are still intact.
