ETA7750 will fit but it will need to be tweaked a little. It can definitely be done though

Thanks QQ, id have to send it away, which im thinking of doing anyway.

Anyone know a watch guy in Asia? I could try and find someone in here in Hong Kong but its the "tweeking" that has me worried about that.

Also worried about ending up with a 1000$ rep!

Although if there was one watch worth spending up on to me its this.

You can even hear the rotor spinning on gens... ;) :)

...And remember, if someone ask if it´s gen, just shake it so they can hear the rotor spinning and show the dial with the sweeping second hand :thinking:
Round it off by telling them only fakes have quartz movements!

On a serious not, got the ETA7750 installed in my ROO and would say the noise level is pretty much the same as the asian7750 with the gen possibly slightly quieter (no gen is ever dead silent either or at least I never heard one, to busy drooling over the watch) and non of them if you ask me is "noisy" unless your in a dead silent room.
So unless it´s broken or similar there ain´t much you can do about it.

Hope you find a modder to help you out :)
