Zowie -- Omega forum: "lipstick on a pig" post

I started a thread on the Omega forum about the movement we all love to scorn: the ETA/Valjoux 7750. The unadorned movement is - ahem - industrial . . . . at best. So is dressing up and decorating a 7750 like putting lipstick on a pig?

Come on over an see the porcine exhibition, weigh in with your opinion, and post some photos of your "pigs": 7750-based chronos.

And if you have some photos of some modified 7750 movements that are actually attractive, post'em so we can comment on whether we think it was "botox" or full blown "plastic surgery"!!
