    I hate to say it but the 7750 is a very old movement. Of course, the watch will be thick. It takes up a lot of space. Your years of Engineering school really comes in handy in explaining different complications how they work, the physics of it. I hope you will make more Watch and Learn videos. The movement is very interesting and how complicated the watchmaking can be. I would not dare try to regulate that that either. Chronographs in general non-quartz are very expensive to service.

    Mark, how much 'shock' can those automatic chronos really take? If you're taking it backpacking, constantly using the chronograph when timing your workout, going whitewater rafting with it on a nato strap, is it going to hold up? The DC5x/6x's look amazing btw. Really love the dial layout more than the sinn counterparts. Seems to be easier to read.
