It's the new one from Z-fac mounted on a Turkish Ammo strap. Quality is great and comparable to my Noob-maker PAMs, rotor is running very quietly and bezel clicks very smooth.

Shouldn't have any issues. It's not like the AP secs at 12. Have had so many pams on A7750 absolutely no issues.

Thanks guys, really enjoy this one. I was looking for a nice 47mm sub for quite some time. BTW this one's from Toro.

Is there any reason for that fear? The A7750 isn't perfect, but as long as you have it serviced and follow the rules of using an A7750-based watch, it should be reliable.

Will do mate.

BTW do you think it's a good idea to put an A7750 watch on the winder when not wearing it? Is it safe on the long run or will it wear the parts of the movement faster?

Yes your knurling seems better than previous ones, although not yet perfect

I don't put my A7750s in winder. A Swiss movement will run better working constantly, But IMO an Asian get used the parts faster as you said. But this is just an opinion I have no evidences

ALE, I've heard a lot about the knurling of this watch lately... It it really that noticeable in person? Someone has to do a comparo with a noob 243...

I'm talking about the knurling of this watch from the beginnig, because I think it is the biggest flaw of this nice replica.
ZFac has started to improve but has not yet got a good level. Not only the notches are wrong it is the own profile or shape of the bezel, without talking about the polishing.


Below the comparison GEn- ZFac from first batches

And now the comparison of gianton knurling with my Noob V2 PAM 243 (which has similar knurling)
