Still waiting for QC from trusty since December, I was told last month but still no go. I’m reading that other TD’s have them And that people are receiving QC?

Watch arrived, very nice. The rotor is LAF, but that can be reduced.
From order to delivery, 20 days.
One thing I did not notice, where you have SWISS 50 MADE at the bottom, the word MADE looks to have space (character) too many before it, however, all the Gen pics I see are also the same. I just would have expected all 3 words to be centered.

First of all thank you for the photos, it looks great.
It is very noisy?
How does it feel on the wrist?
Is the strap of quality or are you going to change it?
It's louder then other 7750’s I have, but as it can minimised it's not a deal breaker.
The look and feel of the watch is great, so highly recommended.
I normally fit the correct OEM strap to all my watches. This particular strap is around $200 so I'll see how this one goes as it is very stiff but should soften up over use.

How’s the line defining the black area of the dial and the white... looks a bit rough, like the masking for painting wasn’t great?
20 days! Who did you order from? Maybe I need to get a refund and reorder from your dealer lol been waiting 4 months

I also got mine yesterday.
The rotor of mine is not louder, than any other A7750 i have.
Strap is nice, but to short for my wrist, so i mounted it on a "Heritageleather Strap".
Its a very nice watch.

Same for me...
I don't understand why other TD's have reduced the 3month+ lead time?

Yes I tried to add it to an existing order with trusty but right away was told not in stock.
Tried another TD and got QC after about 4 days from payment.
Seems odd as trusty seems to get GF releases before most other TDs
For those that are interested, I can confirm you can supercharge this rep with the same base movement as the original. I am told the transplant was straightforward.
I present the first (to my knowledge) ETA 7753 powered Top time

Very interested to know the answer to this as well, always thought the Asian 77xx movements had different hand hone sizes for the chrono hands

Andrew just said they are in stock but it seemed he didn’t have my order or something. Maybe his order system had an issue... not sure. Might be best to check in with him.

To answer some of the above
I picked up the 7753 at a decent price on ebay, around £230. It was new and did not require any servicing, so a decent result.
The asian movement is a modified 7750, not a 7753.
I did not get any comment about thickness being different or being an issue, he said it dropped in and aligned without issue. He did add that the Asian movement was very poorly finished. No Breitling branded rotor is used.
Generally, hands do sometimes need to be broached to fit a swiss ETA, but in this case, The only modification that was required was for the large Chrono hand to fit correctly, other hands were OK.
A few more pics of the clone movement.
The watch should be back in my hands tomorrow or early next week. Can't wait!

Nice watch ! Rotor sound is a little bit louder than others but not bad.
