Hi , i havea few questions on a rep Graham chronofighter . as im very new to this i have been trying to do as much research as possible .

im looking to get a good copy of the real thing but also need to it be reliable somewhat . can anyone recomend a good vendor ? i read the 10 page thread on movement , so my take is this . no need to pay for a "swiss " movement valjoux 7750 28.800 watch cuase every one uses asian clone 7750 28,800 movement ,

but is the asian 7750 28800 reliable any?

also what should i be looking for when i purchase , movement wise ?like is the asian 7750 28800 ETA movement good ? should it be quartz? im a bit confused.
any insight is appreciated thanks.

Yes it's reliable, the only one you should avoid is the A7750 modified to have seconds at 6 like the one on the Daytona or IWC Portuguese Chrono.

No prob, what I mean with 'seconds ta 6' is that the seconds sub-dial or hand is located at 6 o'clock, like this:

I recommend Hont, he has excellent prices and Quality Control:

Before placing your order make sure it's a simple inquiry as English is not his first language, and second: Patience, patience and more patience, this is essential in this hobby, if he doesn't reply don't panic, it takes time, usually he replies in 24-48 hours depending what time it is, to check the time where he is simply google "Time in China" and Google will display it for you. Also don't get high expectations, Replicas are not perfect copies, there is none that is 1:1 or perfect, they all have flaws, but they are minimal. Research is the key here, there are many reviews available here, if not do a comparison of the rep with some pictures of the genuine to pick out the flaws, some are hard to notice until someone mentions it, and some are too tiny to see with the naked eye.

Good luck! :)

No problem, Puretime would be my next choice. If you want to overpay and have poor Quality Control you can try the scam twins Jandrew [josh and andrew], they are NOT approved dealers here for a very good reason.
