Is Day-Date A7750 less reliable?

[abq_lobo]

I really like the Tag Heuer Carrera Day-Date model and am really considering getting one soon. I am just curious if this version of the A7750 is less reliable than say another Tag rep that only has a DW.

Nah mate, the additional day wheel doesn't jeopardize the reliability of the movement. I have an IWC Top Gun and both are working fine. As every other rep, you need to be careful when setting the date using the crown otherwise they might jam. That's not only reps though, it should be following with high end gens as well.

BTW, nice taste man, I'm looking at that very same Tag myself

Thanks for the response, and I'm glad to hear that. I think that I will probably order within the next couple of days. I'll make sure to take extra care when adjusting the day/date.

Search around, there's a thread that explains when and how to do it. Basically you shouldn't adjust the day or date between a specific time at which the watch is. Search and you shall find :yoda:

Q is right - between 9 and 2 is a no, no...

Don't be shy with the carrera day date - my favourite daily wearer, in fact! Has been solid since day one and is a great rep to boot! The day can get a little 'jammy' though, so its important not to force it if you encounter this.

I'm not 100% sure of this, but don't all 6,9,12 7750 movements ship with day and date wheels?

Thank you. I was a bit curious as to why you are not suppose to change the date between certain times.
