That's a tongi movement... The faux chrono type of the dg2813... As mentioned before, you have been scammed. Plastic movement rings aren't bad, they are just used for cases that don't have a grove for screw tabs.

I bought another watch with A7550 from the same crappy Alibaba shop. The watch looks great, but the A7550 movement has around 6 minutes deviation per day even after I have adjusted it spring from the small dial. I am pissed off by this Chinese crap. Most probably I will go to the local Tudor shop and buy the new pro model and stop wasting my time

Sure bud, save the fairy tale for Disney.

Guys with all my respect but, I am receiving a refund for every scam, so I didn't lose anything. The second one is with real A7750. It has been opened and checked. Of the most topics in this forum, the A7750 has been reported to come with issues and has to be serviced, so I am not sure about your TRUSTED sellers. On the other hand about the fairy tale - I am living in Switzerland, but I don't think that is a very clever thing to buy a 20k plus watch and wear it unless your net worth is millions. The Tudor watch has no wait list in our official shop. MY main reason to right here though was to ask if there is a guide on how to adjust the main spring on the 7750 from the regulators. Will, anybody writes some useful information or just troll?

Define a very obvious fake, please? This is the ETA movement replica with the working chronograph. The only person to which this would be obvious is someone who works at Rolex and looks at it very closely. Or oh wait... maybe they won't be able to recognize it as well, because they didn't have the chance to look at a real panda Daytona for several years as well, because there are almost none on the market. :)

Do you even read what I am writing or are you responding randomly because you have nothing else to do? This is the one with the "Seiko Movement" from the picture, which was crap. The one I am writing about is a totally different watch with A7750. It is a 500$ watch

I have tried to adjust the spring multiple times by moving this regulator but nothing has improved

No, I'm actually reading what you wrote. Did you buy the one with the 'Seiko' movement inside it to wear it or did you not? An A7750 isn't an ETA by the way - not sure what your guy on Ali described it as. Let's see the front of the watch. It will help us determine if it's worth salvaging or is even worth the $500 you were billed for it.

Here you go. This still does not help me with adjusting the movement though. Nor do I want to have it as some kind of a status symbol. I just really like how it looks. When I am buying those watches on Alibaba I have some security and can get a refund if something is not right. Where do you think the trusted sellers in this forum are getting their watches from?

That Daytona looks just as bad as the "seiko" one. Sorry but it's terrible. No one on this forum would buy that, and the TD's, who actually don't source their stock from Ali, wouldn't have the cheek to sell them either. Nevertheless, in answer to your question, you can see how to regulate the Valjoux 7750 movement here:

Also, if you paid $500 for that you got robbed.

$380 for that?

Seriously though.. That's practically $580 in total down the drain on those two pieces, for the love of god PLEASE stop using that shite AliBaba store and consider something from the TD list here. An ARF Daytona would have be miles better, or a BTF if you want something with a clone movement.

1. If your watch is off by minutes a day, as you say, then a regulation isn't going to help it. It needs a full service.
2. That watch looks so bad. It looks like someone who had never seen a Daytona before tried to draw a picture of one based on someone's description.

Odd, in his first post he claimed it was 380. Either way he's paid too much!

That's true actually - he said $500 on the previous page when he was replying to me. Either way - he was robbed. Badly. Those guys on Ali must be pissing themselves.

I love a nice Daytona. It makes me sad to see the sort of rubbish that people get conned into buying.

Please, please spend a bit of time here on RWI, building up some knowledge of what sort of quality you could be getting. If you’d only listen to the advice of members here and buy from a Trusted Dealer, rather than continuing to get scammed by tat merchants on Ali, you could have a really nice rep for not too much money.

This statement is based on what exactly? Give me examples of what does not look right on this watch. The photo is not exactly realistic. The fonts on the picture do not look good because there is distortion coming from my micro iPhone lens. In reality, the fonts look superb. What else does not look right? From my experience, for now, the watch is too thick, because it has the 7750 movement. The movement was serviced by a watchmaker and now runs smoothly. The weight is too high - it is 158 grams.

I was in Bucherer three weeks ago looking to buy a Back Bay Chrono and I had the chance to look at a real Daytona panda as well (waitlist 25 years! :) ) To be honest I did not notice a difference from my fake watch on the first look from a distance and even holding it for a moment. You have to really know what to look for and have a microscope etc. and look for the thickness. So please tell me what is your statement based on. I know that this watch is far from a perfect clone and I am considering buying the CF 4130 v2 though.

Once again about what I have paid. I paid nothing! I was refunded for both watches because the first one was not what I have ordered and the second one with the 7750 movement was not working properly before the servicing and I complained and got refunded. I was able to resell the "seiko" crap for 100 USD and paid 100usd for servicing the 7750 one, therefore I was not scammed at all. What security I am getting from the payment methods used by the "trusted sellers" in this forum? From what I saw - none. I am looking currently at this seller which seems to sell only the best replicas from the big factories and has a really small catalog with only good high-quality pieces (Clean Factory etc.). There is again trade assurance and they are giving guarantees about what they sell.

One more thing: Please do not reply to me in a passive-aggressive manner. I am asking you as a normal person, so we can have a normal discussion. Answers like "Haha, this stupid f...k! He got scammed by those Chinese guys and has this funny Donkey nickname" The nickname used in this forum is an irony, and statements like the one above do not help anyone. Therefore thanks in advance for responding in a proper manner!
