What is the weakest part on Asian 7750 ?

[gran 198]

 

Some members only want SWISS 7750s in their watches

 

For instance deep date asian 7750 movement to the local watchmaker and he states that the Lever Escapement is really bad. Movement stops when placed in certain positions...but guess there could be other reasons as well

 

 

Is the Lever Escapement on asian 7750 movements their weakest point or is it something else?

fucking reversing wheel and ratchet wheel...get these replaced with the swiss made counterparts and you're set...pretty cheap too!

This bit - the stop start lever is a piece of junk that seems to rely on luck rather than engineering for it to work, plus the crappy spring inside the case that is too weak for the lever. Replaced my lever but still screwed. Put me off A7750 - now buy A21J which seem pretty bomb proof or quartz which are bomb proof.
