I have several V7750 movements now...they are all very crisp...much more so that the V7753.  I have heard the Asian Movement story before and it seems a little problematic to me.  While I find no "Swiss Made" markings on the watch, it does denote "Swiss" on the rotor.  But what seems problematic too me is that Hamilton (an American Brand) is owned by the SWATCH Group, the Swiss company that owns and manufactures ETA Valjoux movements.  Asian made or Swiss made, you can rest assured that SWATCH is going to insure that they are not a spot reference their corporate reputation! hand6.gif  I gotta tell you, I love the Khaki Field even better than its big brother the Khaki Aviation!

As to pricing, who the heck knows.  I got my Khaki Field Chrono for $190 at a TJ MAXX BNIB with factory warranty (even though the "The Goon" idiot of WUS and Big Dumb Watch Forum will tell you it isn't so)!  Damn, he is sooooooooooooo easy!subtlelaugh.gif
