    Awesome piece my friend. Given the rarity of gen daylights, this will be a conversational piece everytime. 7753 daylights are the way to go. I have my 250 on right now and like Tanya, awaiting patiently for LEO's DWs to complete my 188 project as well.

    Wear it well....mate.

  5. Ingy vs. ROO

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    2 different watches. Price gap is also quite great.

    1. AP is a massive watch. Ingy is more subtle. So it can depend on how big your wrists are. For the ROO, 6.75 ~ 7 inch wrists required.

    2. As with all reps, both needs to be serviced upon receipt but Ingy can go longer without one thereafter. Both will outlive the owener with proper care and timely servicing.

    3. The AP is more ready out of the box than the Ingy, IMHO. But with the Ingy, frankenization is easier and cheaper. You can source for gen dials, hands and even movement. You can't do anything to the AP except luming and a better strap. AP gen dial (if you can find one) will not fit a AP @12secs.

    I have had the pleasure of owning a modded Ingy (Jakub AR, lello Datewheel) and recently studied the AP@12 in close quarters. The AP is an impressive watch. Excellent replication which will deceive 98.25% of the world population 99% of the time. Its gonna be my next purchase. Black themes or maybe the safari

    Anyways, you won't go wrong with either purchase though I'd bet that you will eventually own both at one point in time.

    Brudder, we all want one....I don't need one. Can't afford one right now. ;)

    GF coming back for a visit from Sydney in Sept :o . Must get finance in order and hide a few watches as well.

    Getting a new watch is not gonna help esp when I have been saying I am too poor to visit her in Australia. LOL.

    Probably gonna need your help hide a few. Dont think she knows about the UPO, 029, 250 and slevin. Gonna need your help there mate. ;)

  15. Challenges in becoming a rep collector...

    All I can say is don't be discouraged by all these minor setbacks. the joy derived from reps far outweigh the minor heartaches.

    Its important to have a watchmaker who is able to service 7750 reps somewhere near you coz the A7750 is a reliable movement. I have no problem with any of the A7750s that I have bought.

    Perservere and you will be rewarded

    Cheers
