She's on the way, right before CNY doom too!

If it "feels" solid, I will be happy!

Looks sharp! Does anyone know how the FF versions compare to EF versions? They seem very similar, but EF priced a little higher, so I wondered if EF are a notch above quality-wise.

So the bad first

-Minute hand is loose, just floating around the pinion

-The pushers feel loose and gritty when tightening them down.

-Bracelet is OKAY, but had some pins falling out that needed tightened down. I think upgrading to a better quality bracelet would make the watch feel more solid

- the movement wouldn't run long on the rotor charging alone, after a quick and short hand wind it seems to be okay, but that loose hand may have been stopping the movement.

- the crown is gritty and tight to operate

I will fix the hand and double check the movement function. I will see about a solution for pushers too. She's in shitter condition, however, mostly bad QC and sub par parts. I think i can fix her up over all to get it to acceptable.

All that said, it still looks cool! Not a piece for a faint of heart noob, will take a little elbow grease to get it to a point where I can live it, and I'm not very picky, would be awesome if a slightly better version or factory put these out.

No bro. That's my custom build 4130. Vintage EF/EE models run the 7750.

It's meh. Mine literally fell apart before it even reached me, maybe bad luck. But the movement qc was trash.

I don't believe my TD could have possibly missed all the issues it had,l.

The bracelet is decent the case is okay, the pushers are kinda wiggly, im going to see if I can fix them up.

If the 7750 ran like my other 7750s, I would've been pretty happy.
