Canada has a new system of measuring now? 3 apples tall?

I must be two watermelons and several home-grown zucchinis tall, then. :lol:

Blue Dial with blue rubber is what I got, But I was a V1er, before the grey was available....the grey dial and a handmade straps brown croco from hktan sounds like a winner!

Yes..I hope that it will looks perfect..you know..straps from Hk tan are the best (I ordered for my Mille Miglia
Chrono straps and wait each day for post)..I will order the Skyland from PT..for me the best dealer..
I will post pictures when I got it..but I think this takes time because producing of handmade straps takes
some weeks..
see you

Your 2nd 1st - YES - It always makes sense to go Swiss... but you have to consider many factors...

1st 2nd - Not a straight swap as the hand set on the high beat Asian 7750 will not directly fit to a Swiss ETA 7750. You either need a new hand set or a watchmaker who can work some "magic"

I'm going to have to disagree with jake48 here... with the cost of the Swiss being so astronomical nowadays... and the handset issue (you'll only have an issue with the chrono seconds hand though, i believe)... and the increasing quality of the A7750... I would say to leave it alone.... unless this is the end all, be all for you... but considering that today, you would be spending $5-700 for a swiss 7750, it just doesn't make sense IMHO...

If you could find a swiss 7750 for $350 or so, then I'd say go for it... but at those prices, just leave it as is...

The "factors" are what one has to consider.

Is Swiss better than Asian - Of course! No arguement there.
How bad do you want the best?
How much is it worth to you?
How much do you make?
Are you willing to spend the money?
What did you pay for the watch?
What did you pay for the movement?
Is it time to service the watch? (cost of service vs replace movm'nt with Swiss)
Can your watchmaker make the hands fit?
How long do you plan on keeping the watch?
Is the watch going to be a daily wearer or put into a rotation?
I can go on...

"is it worth it and makes sense or not?"

Like I said - "It always makes sense to go Swiss... but you have to consider many factors..."

Good job not making any sense at all, obviously if you must consider many factors the it doesn't ALWAYS make sense to go swiss.

Maybe you meant to say, "Swiss is always prefered over Asian, but if its worth it you have to consider many factors"?
