Thanks for your response.
Curious (as I'm not very familiar with them) - do the genuine Carrera models have lots of lume or not really ?
Thx

What about the movement on these GCs?
I know it is A7750 but that mvmt is famous with problems if you move the seconds hand from usual @9 position. Daytona or IWC Porteguese chronos etc are suffering for this subject

With that mod, you are moving the secs to @3 and you are even using a plate instead of a seconds hand . Anyone ever used this movement long enough to confirm that it is trouble free?

Seconds at 3 is better and more stable than seconds at 6. I used to have a GC 17 and it worked like a charm without no probs.

I bought my brother the same watch and he has been wearing is for 1.5years no probs
