That 57th is just too nice to pass on. I got that AP bug also.

I've had no problems with mine so far, tried the Chronos once when I got the watch all worked fine, and I'll probably not use them again.

I am all too familiar with the usual chroni issues that come with a7750 movements. (I have three in for srvice now!). My real concern was whether there arw aby extra sec@12 issues. There were lota of complaints in the archives from a couple of years ago but no much recently. Were these issues resolved?

On separate note I notice that all of the roo chronos are a little inaccurate because the makers are shoehorning 7750 movements where they really don't belong (nothing new there). Has there ever been any talk if repping the duprav chrono module that can be placed on top of an A2892 or A2824? This would allow makers to use the correct subdial spacing and run sec@12 and sec@6 without jerry rigged solutions. The movements would also be thinner which would allow more accurate case designs. They would actually be able to make true 1:1 Daytonas, ROOs, JLC's etc. I would think there are enough models out there that use duprav modules on top of JLC, Piaget and ETA movements that such a design would be financially feasible.

I would very much doubt that the rep factories would go to that effort mate, probably not worth the hassle for them. I think the latest movements have a jewel now @ secs 12 on the latest Roos, where as before there was no jewel, so running sec's was causing friction. Hell I might even be wrong in what Im quoting:facepalm:

I also have the AP bug... Ordered three within a month (Panda, Chronopassion, Montauk Highway). No regrets, all amazing watches.

Unfortunately, the Panda and Chronopassion is starting to develop problems - the Panda's chronograph wont even start anymore, and the chronopassion's seconds hand gets stuck at the 12 marker a lot (have to shake it to get it starting again). I guess i could chalk this up to the unreliability of 7750 sec@12 movement!

From whom did you bought your panda and chronopassion?
