So I finally tried one on, and have to say my heart was broken. Big, clunky, not for me. I dream of a day that they will make a smaller version for people with wrists less than 25 inches around :)

No, I didn't buy it. We were shopping for the new Classima, but the dealer mentioned they had a 24 in and wanted to push it on us... (10K I believe) just not my cup of tea

I love the watch, but its just too damn big for me. Well, its not really that big, its just so broad and square, my rep 24 was just as thick as my milgauss, but since the milgauss tappers on the top and bottom it seems thinner. The 24 looked like a huge metal hunk on my wrist, I cant imagine what the 7750 would look like.

I haven't seen the rep in person, but after trying on the gen and looking at the pics of the reps, I'd say they did a pretty great job on this one

See, now that's a lovely watch. Is that the automatic version?

Yep, A7750 with "Cenifugal" System! Misspelling on rotor is the only real annoyance on this one!

Yeah, that was the only thing holding me off buying it (when i get round to finishing my rolex box). I did hear rumours they had fixed the spelling mistake on a new version though.

I remember seeing pics of it. It also has the updated datewheel.

Is there a new version of this out that fixes the "cenifugal" mistake?
