4fun

I think I have split personality, since I have both gen and rep.

even swiss valjoux 7750/53 will be loud and wobble, just one of the flaws u have to live with...

Yes, that's true. When wearing my 7753 panda, it's like having a rattle on my wrist

I love Radiomir especially with chrono but hesitate to get another one, because crown thread issues always turn me off. :yucky:

Any improvement ?

That's why I always use USPS with delivery confirmation service.

You can always on-line check the delivery.

It shows $0.00.

So i think it's not available yet.

I got to have this

This is definitely one of my favorite strap, especially after gaining the tan patina.

The tanning process seems much faster on this baseball mitt leather than others.

Just rub it using fingers, you can instantly see the difference.

Just don't try it at home:

Do it yourself lasik

My goodness. I really don' believe this can be DIY

Oh, too late :yucky:

I'd like to know the case is different from previous version or not.

Aspire has some solid gold DJ with soild mid gold link. A lot cheaper.

Wonder the difference.

I assuming so on a rep w/ this level of accuracy. But I won't know until I have a watch and dial in hand. I'd be happy to be the guinea pig--and let you guys know if it fits.

I really admire you for your courage and please keep us updated

Also, I might be able to source some OEM dials in different colors They are expensive, and randomly available, but worth it.

So I assume the rep case can take gen dial without modification.

If so, this probably is another group buy material

How about color of dial ?

I am also totally pumped

Looks like a good rep. What I see though:

From the front, the date font is way off and too recessed. Dial font is not exactly correct, being too thin and large and with little serifs. Luminous round markers are too large. Missing polished ring under bezel. Bezel engravings look a bit large to me, but could just be the photo. Crown of course doesn't look right, but that goes without saying.

I can live with those flaws. What I really care is the case. If it's like 2nd generation case, then it really sucks

Yes 4fun, I meant rose gold But, did Archibald confirm it to you? When I asked him by PM about the quality of the gold he said that the model he meant in the first post was in 18K yellow gold, not rose.

From the photos I seem to like the rose gold model quite more than the yellow one. Maybe because I love the AP Offshore models in that metal (Montoya, Pride of Russia)...

I'll try to confirm that with Archibald.

Anyway, I like either yellow or rose gold

Archibald, does the dealer offer the red gold model too, or just the yellow gold one?

Thanks!

If you mean rose gold, yes, I think we are talking about solid 18K rose gold here

With RXW style case :cc_confused: :cc_confused:

Well Andrew just went rapidly down in my estimation. The whole post struck me as a cynical sales ploy, I guess the flaw filled new PO chronos aren't selling that well.

Just look at it from the buyers perspective for a second, who wants to buy a replica which is going to be out dated in a matter of months? No one that's who, this applies to everything, not just replica watches. I think your just going to have to wake up and smell the coffee on that one.

If the makers don't like it well I guess there going to have to do the job properly first time round ain't they. But I think they realise they make more money by producing progressively better [censored]. And ultimately the customer pays the price for this!

The whole risk/customs sob story doesn't wash either imo, the risk and custom costs (loses) are incorporated in to the cost of watches, it's that simple isn't it, same as any business. And if it really is as risky as you make out then why expose your self even more by sticking up a website advertising the fact your selling replicas? Huh? More money perchance?

I don't think for one minute any dealer does it for the love of selling reps, simple fact is, the money obviously does cover the risk, otherwise you guys wouldn't do it.

I'm thankful of the dealers, but seriously stop moaning if it's not worth it, don't do it, and if you want peoples money you going to have to play the game....and at least try and sound a bit more thankful for the business that does come your way.

It's a fair comment IMO.

My 7753 196 Daylight(old case) is much heavier than 7753 Panda(new case).

And most likely, you can only get one with the new case.

Yes, Hong Kong is the heaven for shopping !

So I bet the gen did pass the waterproof test .

Archi... email me. You get back USD120 in FULL, no doubts about it.

Sorry, I can't help asking this question :

Why wait until now ?

Still remember mineral glass = synthetic sapphire issue ?

But what happens when they fix the issues on the perfect sub? Better perfect? Extra perfect?

How about "more perfect" or " most perfect" ?

Sorry for my poor english.

I have this feeling of foreboding doom like this can't possibly last. It's just too easy.

Enjoy it while you still can.

That's why I am buying as many reps as I can afford and wife can tolerate
