Problem with A7750 chronograph

I’ve bought a Daytona sold as “Swiss ETA”
I think moments it’s just an A7750
The hours subdial of chronograph starts on its own even when it is not started, what can it be?
May I repair it on my own opening the case and “adjusting” or “put back in place” some wheels? :p

One of the worst movements ever put in a Daytona is the 7750. You will have to find a watchmaker on here willing to take a look at it.
Yeah! It is very noisy and the watch “dance” on my wrist when balancer is charging… hope the A4130 on the superclone is not like this 7750

You'd be better off chalking up that one as landfill fodder and putting your money towards a Clean or BTF with the SA 4130 clone movement.

As a side note, some of the older 7750 movements would encounter this issue. I had an old one from way back that would slowly wander. Mine was in a tag replica . Pressing the reset button with zero it out though, then it would randomly wander again sometimes later that day sometimes not for a week or so.

I have a sugess tona with a 7750
basically a low tier rep with a homage dial and crown.

I never use the chrono. It's wonky as hell. Reset button works when it feels like it.

Very comfortable watch though and nice when you don't want to wear a rep
