Hello - are you a watchmaker? Just curious as a stock 7750 has some differences from the Cal. 1164. First you would need to make sure all the hand heights are the same for the stock 7750 and the specific Cal. 1164 that is in the model you have (different dial thicknesses can lead to different hand heights so longer posts on all the wheel that have hands on them).
The decoration is quite different than a stock 7750, and not just the rotor. You would also have to remove the day functions, since the 1164 only has the date. Also the shape of the automatic bridge is completely different on an 1164 than a stock 7750.
And of course, a movement from Otto Frei will not be a certified chronometer.
I have bought one from Omega before to replace a very rusted one I serviced last year....
Just getting it out of the case was quite a chore:
Brand new movement with chronometer certificate:
All good in the end - used the dial and hands again:
Movements are not inexpensive no doubt, but if you want it to be a proper Omega and not a franken/fake, then an Omega movement is the only option IMO.
Cheers, Al
