Re: I agree with John - keep it.

Thanks for the great advice. Honestly, I don't think this watch is any less a nice heuer because it's 7750 powered. It was made when a 7750 was new and cutting edge, and eta had not flooded the market with robot-made movements. It functions and presents well.
I'm going to wear it a bunch this week and contemplate its fate.
