My 7750 also very stiff. Should be normal.
Do take note when setting 7750. I think cannot change date / day between 6pm - 12am if not will stuck

I understand it's normal for 7750 chronograph pushers to be stiff, because of the movement design.

The one in my Nav-B Chrono from Steinhart also stiff.

It's really my fault for not being careful but I guess it's a funny story.

I decided that the in-house BB was too chunky for me. Put it up for sale and received an offer almost immediately at a price I wasn't so sure about. Buyer was quite persistent and even played the sympathy card, "please I'm sincere but I'm just a student". So I thought, why not and accepted the offer of 3.6.

I once sold a G-Shock when I was in NS, went to the guy's place to deal. Joker took the watch from me (replaced the battery 2 weeks ago), and called me 4 hours later claiming battery finish, ask for refund.

Took it back from him in a more central location, change the battery, put up in Yahoo Auctions again for $20 more, sold in a day. From then on I will never travel to anyone else's place to deal if I'm the seller.

If your price is reasonable (and it seems reasonable), don't need to bow to the buyer, they are getting a good deal, if you still have to travel to make them happy, tell them to go East Coast fly kite.

Yep, Straton.

Prefer the colors for this one.. Meca-Quartz like not worth it, then the NE-88 while nice makes the watch $1K.

Hello bros, quite new to this watch thread and have been lurking around looking at wonderful watches posted here.

Just bought my first 'real' watch although its nothing special but I really like the look of Diver watches and since my budget was limited, this will have to do. Some pictures :)

I didn't know casio makes these kinda watches. Looks good, should be quite cheap if it's casio.

Ventus Mori has finished delivering already? Saw someone beside me in a bus wearing. Not sure if it's anybody here.
