and the very annoying wrong color of the inner bezel ring - it is supposed to be silver and not white. If you see the original you'll see what I mean...

looks very nice, however the dial/rubber combination is supposed to be black and not white - here are some pictures as you can see the cabochon (not sure if this is spelled correctly) is supposed to be blue and there is no black rubber ring around the bezel on the white faced model

at least this one has the new Asian 7750 28.880bph - I have to live with old 21.600bph one and two days ago it started running really fast, about 10 minutes a day...any ideas what might cause this?

does anybody else have problems login on to photobucket and publishing pictures? Since yesterday the site times out and I can't access my account anymore. thanks

generally I think it is fair to say that very few Asian or Swiss 7750/7753 movements of any replica will run fine over an extended period of time without them being serviced/adjusted - the quality control issue - or total lack thereof makes it a pure game of chance. I for once will send all the watches I want to keep to The Zigmeister for servicing. If you don't have any problems than consider yourself lucky

a little update on this beauty: it now gains about 7 minutes per day, luckily I have time scheduled with The Zigmeister - hope servicing the movement will fix it

thanks guys, I just thought i let you know that since I had this watch it has only gained 2 seconds!!! My replicas gain or loose that much in a matter of hours

well i guess I just don't like the way it looks on my wrist

wrist shot - as you can see it is too big for my wrist 43mm

looks awesome, very nice LV

Hey Bazz - the one you have on your wrist is a replica and the bigger picture is the gen correct??

gen Monday for me I just love that watch

yes it does but in a different case and from what I have seen different caseback

I couldn't agree more - the 7753 version still uses the wrong case/bezel - it's brushed but worng nonetheless

very nice ;-) I hope I get mine done soon too - I am on The Zigmeisters waiting list...

nice pictures and nice collection

great job :-) like the strap too, is that a BOB?

very cool, please post pics once you have it and if you are interested there is company in Germany that sells custom made IWC gator straps - expensive though Euro 160.- http://www.store.allwatch.de/pi-1501985251.htm?categoryId=19

nice and the strap too, not sure about the white stitching though that's all I need now a forth IWC Portugieser ;-) wear it well!

unfortunately Breitling is known for not having a great QC, there were reviews in watch magazines in the past that were talking about bad rate results on a certified chronometer...just goes to show that it is not the movementg but the QC, at least on gens

the dial actually looks very good in person, what bugs me is the case quality - the ridges between the lugs look like they have dings

it came on the usual crappy black plastic gator with deployment, the brown gator is from Kurt - Watchboys

sorry I know

I would buy one from ebay, I have had this one for 2 years and it is still working perfectly - if you are patient you might get one for $150 I have another one enroute since I ran out of winder space weeks ago

folks it is Monday here in CA and I wanted to share a wristshot of a beauty that I haven't worn for a while what are you wearing today?
