Oh, I hadnt even factored in the low-high beat differences. The one that PT has is a 28,000 so I guess the swap is out of the question? do you know how much I could be looking to pay to service / replace an asian 7750? ps: how much would a swiss eta replacement cost?

I guess IWC 3714 is a no go for me in that case. I had read the horror stories but just wanted to ask anyway. Although I have a "spare" Miyota OS20 from my cheap quartz tag carrera replica. but I guess it would work out cheaper to just buy a quartz rep to begin with instead of gut out the asian 7750.

yeah I am worried about that whole risk factor too. In the past I have been picking up cheap quartz reps of tag (will post pics), so i want this purchase to be a near perfect replica. I read Pug's review of 3717 and knew I had found "the" watch for me. hehe

thanks for the warm welcome scoobs1971. I hadnt realised that it would be possible to swap the asian 7750 for a swiss eta. In that case would it be better for me to get the asian 7750 from PT and use it until it dies. once it goes kaboom I can swap the movement for a swiss ETA? I have been reading some nasty things about 7750 seconds at 6. has anyone had a success rate with it?

Hiya guys, I am one of the "lurkers" and this is my first post. I finally managed to pluck the courage to say hello and ask a question.. I am trying to get hold of replicas of: IWC 3717 and IWC 3714 (panda, black dial with white sub-dials) Is it possible to get this watch in Swiss ETA moment? So far I have only seen the Asian 7750 models (precious-time). I have been quoted by someone in UK for the Swiss ETA but is unable to provide pics. Initially i wanted to get the asian 7750 models from PT and have contacted him to give me a quote. I just need advice so I dont get ripped off. Hence I am turning to you guys. A few questions I need your help with: 1) is there a Swiss ETA version of the above 2? 2) what would be a fair price for the above watches in Swiss ETA? (provided they exisit) 3) is the Asian 7750 versions reliable enough? 4) IWC 3714 has seconds at 6, is that a big no-no for an asian 7750? Thanks again guys. Cheers D
