If everything looks good, to you, then buy it.

You're the one wearing it, you'll be the one looking at it most of the time & you're one spending your money on it, so it's your call at the end of the day.

If it's the same as the TD pictures and has/hasnt the flaws highlighted (if any) in the 'sure to exist' RWI thread on it, I'd go for it, but its your decision to make.

Plus if ya don't like it, you can sell it on.

Best of luck with whatever you decide.


P.s.

In case you havent seen the threads, just a few things to bear in mind re QC:

Thanks, but can you give me your opinion that would be helpful :)
Doubt anyone is knowledgeable enough on this model to say without bringing up a high def picture of gen side by side and comparing them. That is likely not going to happen and you should be the one doing that anyway, you can spend as long as you want comparing the two, so why not?

Well, this hobby wouldn't be that fun to me if I was the personality type to nit pick every single thing on a watch. So I am grateful for that.

I will tell you, it looks really cool! I thought this was a sales thread at first and I was gonna PM to buy it lol. Is it 1:1? Who cares. -Just my opinion.

It's also worth noting that every replica is a 1:1 gen starting at about 3-4ft away(unless you have hawk eyes). So if being called out is your worry, fear not, it does not really happen in the real world. You should be honest anyway :D -should someone ask you about it, but don't worry, that rarely happens as well.

If you like it, wear it, just as the man said above.

XF do a great job on this rep. I would just go back to the TD and ask them the following :

1. Ask for a small video showing the chrono working and that it resets to Zero.
2. Ask to see the date change in action. Pull crown out and change through the dates - make sure there is no skipping.

Most TD will oblige you with these simple requests.

After that GL it. It’s a nice ( thick ) watch.
Good luck !

Very welcome but @Teamjlf gave some great advice to check with the TD to verify the chrono reset and also the date change (something I've always overlooked in the past, but won't in the future ;) )

Best of luck with your new watch

No problem

Last thing. Also ask for a timegrapher check. A7750 movements are quite stable but just ask for one anyways to check for any beat error or low amplitude.

Now……
When you receive the watch, DO NOT play with the chrono. It’s tempting to fiddle with it but you will be best served to leave it well alone. The A7750 chrono movement is well known to have issues here and will likely fail ( short or long term )


When it arrives…enjoy and Wear it in good health.

More great advice from @Teamjlf and I will echo his words ;)

Dont touch the chrono

I have never and will never touch the chrono on a rep with a 7750. It's a gamble I'm not willing to take as I would hate it to not reset to zero, and if it did fail and I wanted it to, findinh someone willing to work on it is costly.

This item is not 7750 movement. It is 1887 according to "Chasing Time" web site.
