Hi you HBB experts,
I am going to pull the trigger on a HBB purchase (rep). I did some research because I am not familiar with HBBs yet and by watching some offers of genuine watches in well known forums I noticed sunken DWs. I am confused: Are these pics taken from reps or is there actually a range of genuine HBBs with slightly sunken DW?
I found these pics (on chrono24), pls note the DW on pics #2:
Thanks for your input
I was curious as well. From Josh's well known "quality" pics I can't judge the look of the bezel. I wouldn't be surprised if the bezel would something printed or whatever. Let's wait for the first review.
Koke, that's a great offer and I'd love to be in for a few crystals.
Just some questions:
Do you also offer stripping of existing ar coatings?
Will the ar coating you are offering work on pam crystals with glued on mag lenses?
Ming is da man!
As I am one of the lucky members here waiting for a black 45.5 bezel I will post pics as soon as the bezel is landing at my place. Finally I will get my UPO fixed!
Thanks again, Ming! Great job!!!
Much appreciated! I am going to pull the trigger as well but I am curious how the carbon bezel would look like in reality. Josh's pics aren't high Q pics an I didn't notice that rep offered by different dealers yet.
Folks, a wish became true. Just noticed that Josh is offering that baby:

I think I will pull th etrigger a.s.a.p
Hi all,
as far as I can see the gen black themes has got silvery/ polished marker frames. The V1 didn't come with these frames as well as lume. The current version (V2?) shows lume but even by watching tons of pics of the rep I can't judge whether the marker frames are improved and spot on. I would appreciate it if owners of the current black themes could post a close up pic. Thank you so much.
Yes, but Bertie, some of these features can be made: We've seen cyclops on the pannie reps, a skeleton rotor isn't a big deal and an integrated button can be made as well (don't forget nearly 150 % of the current reps are copied 1:1 from a genuine or do you doubt our dealers?
I would be happy to see a Graham trigger series with 7750 asap
Chubb, thanks for the pics. I just heard that the lug width is 10mm which is exactly the same measurement as on the gen. I think I'll give it a try soon.
Just to avoid a misunderstanding: Does the pic show a rep? I am asking because the date and day font looks very accurate.
As for the strap/ bracelet question: Will a gen bracelet fit the CC or Diver chrono reps?
HI,
does anybody own one of these Oris chronos (rep) and can tell me if a gen bracelet will fit ? I am considering a puchase but I am prefering the metal bracelet instead of a rubber strap. Pics taken from PT's site:

Thanks for the nice review. I really love that watch but the sunken DW keeps me off purchasing one. Unfortunately there are countless rep models which are truly nice in general but show the same issue. I cross my fingers that our asian friends will make a 7750 with better performance one day
Does any member know a source for gen SSD (Seadweller 4000) bezel inserts? I damaged the insert on my (rep) watch and need to replace it. I don't want to go for a rep insert because of the bad pearl. Any help is much appreciated, thanks!
Hi all,
as I am new to these AP ROO chronos but familiar with lots of other biiiig reps (you've seen my SA or 6.75 review) I am curious by reading postings like "ROO is wearing big", "it feels bigger than a 44mm panny" and so son. Is it just a personal impression of members with a rather slim wrist or what makes the ROO chronos feeling that big? I am hesitating to go for an AP ROO because I want to avoid a disapointment in relation to the size.
Perhaps some owner could post comparision pics eg with the SA or other big reps? Much appreciated
As for the asian mvt. just a service would be recommended (28'800bph version). But there is an obvious flaw (don't take me wrong, I am loving that chrono and it's on my list): The triangle marker at 12 is an applied one on the rep. The gen has got a lume triangle.
It will fit definately. I just let my watchmaker do the swap. I also let him install the asian date wheel with the better font. No prob at all and the new dial (i went for the blue) is way better than the "swiss" one (besides the wrong printings).
Just swap dial and DW, no further modifications required!
I am searching this Trigger rep (asian 7750) as well. I've just seen the quartz version but I am crossing my fingers that we will see an automatic rep soon. Decent lever on this model, I really like it.
