Hi folks, just a quick question regarding my Gen movement which I have had installed in my MontBlanc TimeWalker to replace the 7753 it came with.

Can anyone tell me what would be the main tells between the Gen movement & the rep A7753.

Hi

Who did the movement change for you? I'm considering a similar change for my Panerai 253.

I have a gen ETA 7753 but I have concerns over the different hand sizes. How did you get round that problem?

The hands can be staked or reamed as needed mate. From memory they are very close.

Thanks. From what I've been able to discover, the hour and minute hands are an exact fit, the centre chrono second hand is smaller on the gen and the small subdial hands are slightly larger on the gen.
