Did you have to get new hands? How did the swap go?
I used the A7750 hands so it was not easy. The sub hands are just a tad bigger on the A7750 so they did fit ok. If you were to pull them on and off a lot I would get worried they were too loose. The hour and minute fit perfect. The chrono seconds is the tough one since its too small. Had to gently enlarge it with a pin. But, once you do that it won't be tight enough to the pinion and slip when it gets reset. So I used cement to glue it in. Tricky since you need to make sure it's centered correctly and stuff.

All in all very happy with it and learned a lot. I don't want to wear it though since its too big for me! So I'll keep it mint and flip it to someone who can give it a good home.

Nice! I'd like to swap the A7750 for a eta at some point in my 3777 LPP.
