I would suggest you spend 4-6 weeks reading on RWI so you know what you are doing. Buying Reps is much different than buying Gens. The factory is the key.

I can not consider myself as an expert but I have the same model, same factory and it’s really well made .
Maybe not a high end one but for the price is good enough. Only take care of the movement, is a good choice but avoid using chronograph, and also don’t trust the statement regarding waterproof because it’s merely an advertising. You can bring the watch in water only after a waterproof test made by a good horologist.
Regarding the chrono, the risk of using it is due to the modification made to the common Asian 7750 that can making it fragile.

Do you know what factory makes the highest end version... I assumed this was ... Would you say avoid chronograph in the rep watch game?


Thanks everyone for being so helpful

 

[DarioM6611]

With the term "high end" I'm talking about some Rolex made by CF factory, or some Panerai by VSF, and other reps really close to the gen.
Regarding this watch, the one you choose is best you can find now, as far as I know. So, for me, go on with it .
For the chrono it's only the A7750 that needs to be used with care due to the modification made in some reps to match the same date position.
Regarding Aquatimer I don't remember if the movement has been modified.
Here is a list of high end reps:

[CONSENSUAL LIST] Super Reps NWBIGs

I decided to create a list with two categories. NWBIGs and Super Rep NWBIGs. Many people talk about AAA+ or 1:1 out there. I, and maybe a lot of people here, believed, long time ago, that this actually meant something. I was a newbie in this exciting world of Replicas. I also noticed that...

forum.replica-watch.info

Take your time to read all, because the first page is only a start, there are new entry every year, so it's better to read until the last page.

 

[DarioM6611]

Another suggestion for A7750 movement is that also the position of subdials is a problem; in some reps, factories need to modify the movement to match the same position of subdials and that's another trick that made the movement fragile.
As for as I know, the Aquatimer doesn't have this problem because subdials are at 12 and 6 position and the date window at 3 so it should be possible to use the chrono function.
But I am not skilled enough to say that with faith.
I never use chrono, although I have many reps with chrono function. I simply like the appearance of chronographs, but I never had the needs of using it.

And finally, please read with care the welcome message posted by @eBoy , it's important and follow the link he provided.
