PO Modified Chrono Question

[avenger007]

I've noticed several dealers offering the Planet Ocean Chronograph with a modified dial design to more closely recreate the tight dial spacing on the gen. Are these modifications likely to affect the life and reliability of the movement similar to the Daytona mods? Thanks, gurus!

Links or pictures?
The quartz models have a more accurate spacing & working chronos. The non-working chrono models are also accuraately spaced.
From what I've seen so far, none of the mechanical, working-chrono models have accurate subdials.

I can't find much info on this modified 7750 (only a few threads). It seems it's pretty new to the rep. market (March of this year?).
A number of people said they would buy it the second it became available, but it didn't happen (second thoughts? vaporware? not sure...).

Are they in stock & available at trevor's?

Per Trevor's site:
"Movement: Modified (Closer Subdials) Asia 7750 Valjoux Working Chronograph movement, Working regulator, 28800bph "

Considering the QC and reliability issues of the previously modified A7750 movements to run sec @6 or 12, the above statement would scare the crap out of me.
I think I'd have to let some other guinnea pigs take a shot at this one before I'd be willing to jump in.

Those were my thoughts exactly, Roger. Apparently there are a lot who think the same way. No one has responded that they have one.

I am not familiar with this modded version, but usually it is not a good thing...

Word from the Master! Thanks for weighing in, Francisco. I hope they can dig up your review from the Great Beyond. I'd love to read it.
