Thanks for your informative post ..... A year ago I bought a Chinese 7750 in a IWC lookalike, thru a Hong Kong web-site. The watch cost me around 250 US dollars ........
Owning more than a dozen Swiss 7750's and a few other Valjoux chrono's over the years, I am aware of the way they wind and run .... the Chinese version winds a little different .... at first it ran okay at 25 sec fast ..... the screw in crown was not like the Swiss original, and the Chinese 7750 takes a carefull person so as not to strip it  .....It ticks a little louder I noticed ..... I have as late having a hard time finding the slot to wind it up and it freewheels if I dont have it just set right .... The movement seems sloppy now and it didnt at first .... I am afraid of them to be straightforward ....  I must say that I really like the look of your new watch and I hope your watch runs great for you
