sorry for the crappy pics and fingerprint I missed, I don't have a whole lot of time or good lighting but here's a few pics...

From watcheden...I initially ordered the jap quartz version, but the next day - the 7750 automatic was added to the site...I was able to contact Emily the day after in which she quickly swapped my order over.

Shipping from China to rural Texas from transaction approval to receipt with cheapest shipping was 7 days...pretty impressed with it so far:

Do your chronos reset to zero. I wouldn't be running those all the time. That IS a Chinese movement.

Yes they reset and work great. I was checking out the motion. Thanks for the tip, I wasn't aware running the chrono would hurt it.

Running them won't hurt but I would not be leaving them run 24/7 like some folk do.
Also, don't use the chrono if the power reserve is low, if you must, give a few gentle winds first. Plus of cause never push the reset (lower) pusher with the chrono running.
You are aware of the date setting procedure, yes?

The just 'do not set date between 7p and 2a'? That's all I know for now.
 

14060 or 16610?

Actually running the chrono 24 x 7 is better on an unserviced A7750. Damage will occur either way, but the damage caused by running it is less expensive to fix.

If the watch is properly serviced, it won't matter whether the chrono is running or not.

Sweet watch, chrohm!

I don't think this version has been released in the states yet. So, I have yet to see this watch in person- only pics on the net. How do you like the look of it? From pics on the net, it looks like the watch face is a matte finish. How would you rate the aesthetics? AR on the crystal?

(Thanks as well for your PM.)

I love it, the crown has a shiny 'ness' that makes it appear a little cheaper that I would've thought and it should've been beveled on the inside of the ring a bit more, but everyone I've shown it to in person loves it and thinks it looks good. I'm really enjoying it so far. The crystal has a very slight fog to it, but I don't think it takes away from it too much.

If you want a rep in this design - I recommend it. I don't have much experience with other reps however, this is my first rep

It would be great to have a macro shot of the dial.
Curious to know if it's matte like the gen and if it has the same subdials surface.

Thanks for sharing buddy ;)

nice... definitely the automatic 7750 over the quartz.

wonder what're the factories' obsession with blue screws.
they have to realise - not everyone uses them in the gens.
