Hi and welcome to RWI! Glad you found your way here.

Please take some time to read the sticky threads in the new members area (all subsections), learn the basic forum rules and get some very good advice in the process. A number of questions has already been answered there, this is just an example:


As a new subscriber, you've already been directed to this thread, please read carefully and look through the linked additional threads:


Another good thread to read to understand where RWI comes from and some fundamentals is this:


Most of the information you need to know to start is there. If you're preparing to buy, read the stickies before ordering. When you're finished, you can continue learning by reading the stickies in all remaining sections. If it's stickied, it's important information.

If you intend to sell, read the sales rules and all stickies in the sales section with particular care and make sure you understand each single rule. Sales rules infraction is taken very seriously here. As a new member you are not eligible to sell. Using the sales section is a privilege, eligibility must be earned, make sure you know and understand how.

For anything else, feel free to reach out to @eBoy or me, we're happy to assist, advise, direct, explain. Don't hesitate.

Don't be afraid to post noob questions in the new members area. In doubt, use the flame free zone. If you feel uncomfortable anywhere in the new members area, please reach out to @eBoy or me. Mutual respect is of utmost importance to us. On the other hand, we're grown-ups and are supposed to be able to deal with a bit of irony, don't take it personally, ever, a bit of irony never harmed anyone. If you laugh at jokes, you'll make friends faster.

Hello, I don't know if it breaks often. I have a 7750 with sec@12 and it works. But 15 mm is thick and not easy to wear...

It works, but you should service it, and chrono function is kinda jackpot and it could break your watch sadly.

As said the chrono function might be the problem. If you don't use it, you should be fine.

If you want a nice chronograph at that price Daytona style just get a Sugess 4801 homage for cheap or hunt around M2M

Otherwise save up and get a true 4130 clone. Buy once. Cry once. If you can afford the 7750 Daytona then you can just wait double the amount of time to save up for a 4130.

I’ve got a couple that have lasted a while, but I never use the chrono.

Then again, I don’t use the chronos in my gens, either.

Save the chrono for emergencies, like when your lunar module needs a timed burn to correct course. Otherwise, just use the stopwatch in your phone.

Well I'm just shit assed lucky I guess, I've said this before and I'll say it again .....

I've had plenty of 7750's over the years, and coming back to the hobby in more recent years I've never once had one crap out on me.

I think the main reason they crap out is operator error, i.e. pushing the lower pusher whilst Chrono is running, turning hands backwards when it's in date change period, going all Rambo at the crown and stem etc etc.

I have a mechanical sympathy for anything and I did used to use my first Daytona's chrono a helluva lot at race circuits.
Not so much these days as I have proper stopwatches on me clip board, but zero issues here.

Okay, wil probably not by an Daytona with an Asia 7750.
Not using the Chrono is kinda useless tbh.
There are way cheaper Daytona Replicas with non working Chronos. In case of not using it that would make more sense I think. But where is the fun on owning a not 100% functional watch. xD

Thanks for all your answers!!

Yes, if it's not functionnal, it's a pity. Sometimes it's functionnal with the second at the wrong place : AP 26238ST.OO.A340CA.01 for example...
