Hello fellow IWC rep enthusiasts,
I am currently contemplating upgrading the movement in my 3789 Pilot Top Gun, and I was wondering if any of you had any experience with the IWC caliber 79320?
From my research, this is basically an ETA 7750 that has been slightly modified and tuned by IWC in an effort to reduce friction (here is a post on WUS detailing this https://www.watchuseek.com/threads/...rom-eta-valjoux-7750-to-calibre-79320.506075/).
I have the opportunity to get a used 79320 for roughly 100€ more than a new ETA 7750. Is is worth the extra investment (considering I would also have it serviced), or should I just go for the 7750?
I do plan on keeping this rep so the ability to have it serviced by any watchmaker is a concern with the 79320 whereas any part is readily available for the 7750.
Thank you for your input guys!
