 Those Tissot chronos are looking like they house a 7750 Valjoux from the front: Because of the dial configuration.
In fact, they don't. It's the "new" movement C01.211...
I was discussing it with my watchmaker who been working on watches the last 30 years as he had one on repair on his desk...
He told me briefly that he didn´t like it and that after his meaning, it was crap compare to a good grade 7750 and was cheaply made.
True that this movement looks cheap for a "new born" from ETA.
Now I read on the net that it's inspired of some old Lemania and is regarded as a "lower spec Lemania 5100 clone."
Frankly, I don't like the look of it and I don't feel like trying it in front of a 7750.
