I'm quite surprised at how thick the Smiths one is. I know that there was a proboem with finding a thinner chrono movement that could be ordered in sufficient quantities and at an acceptable price.

Might not look so bad in real life. Interested to see more photos. It looks like a rare swing and a miss for Timefactors though. Sad times.

It's probably a standard automatic with a chrono module mounted on top. Automatic chronos are usually bad enough but that way things end up even thicker.

Would like to see the crown side, I bet the pushers aren't in line with the crown, which is the usual giveaway (even if they try to hide it).

Nah, it's a Seiko N88 so it's a proper chrono.

The N88 is a hair thinner than a 7750, although the 7750 is a fairly thick movement.
