  1. I wouldn't mind a SW 500 for the chrono reps at all. I like the SW 200 series alot, but I heard they're starting to clone

    these too. As for Rolex snatching up an Invicta/SW 500 movement- I tend to doubt it too. I don't think you can believe all the hype those TV

    guys talk.I've seen those 2 together, it's pretty hilarius. Invicta has always been a Rolex wannabe.

  2. Just my 2 cents- why don't you just take it to a watchsmith who can adjust a movement in 5 miutes and charge you $10.

    BTW- I don't believe all these qc timing shots. They all seem to be +/- 7 seconds or less. In my experience the reps are not that accurate, especially the A 7750's. Also, 20 sec/ day MAY be improved but its not terrible. Remember

    these are reps, COSC standards are about 6 sec/day. Many lower grade GEN ETA's don't do much better than 20 sec/day.

    If you really want that kind of accuracy you're much better off with quartz. For under $300 you can buy a gen Bulova Precisionist watch with SMOOTH sweep quartz - accurate to 10 sec/YEAR!

  3. I have to agree with the the point about the rep sales prices. Alot of people expect to sell

    a used rep for 90% of what they paid a yearr ago. Besides collectables, what products maintain their

    value like that. For ex; think of a new car right out of the showroom and the depreciation factor. Some of the dealers

    are guilty of this as well- 'slightly beat up UPO, $220 instead of $250!
