Think I need to get with it at 46

[What is IMHO?

Hello I am thinking of buying a AP ROO Volcano in orange. They are available with seconds at 9 and seconds at 12 and there is a big price differential. I understand the differences i.e. position of seconds hand and the asymmetry of the dial positions but has any one seen the seconds at 9? Are there any differences compared to the seconds at 10

There are really no great reps of top level watches with movements with complications eg Patek, VC, Lange etc. Wish there were but the movements are too complex.

Cartier santos with gold & steel, provided you have a large enough wrist and you like a1930's art deco type styling. The unique strap is also stunning Omega de ville

Nonsense - a fully serviced Asian movement , even if done by a professional would never give you a gen quality movement. These are Chinese made with many middle men in between taking their cut of profits. QC at levels in Swiss factories simply do not exist there. The cost base is so much less

It isn't but does it matter?? How many people will actually believe we own a $30,000 watch anyway. Who are we kidding? R

But I think the sentiments of this forum is that at best , if you don't go out and get it serviced immediately which is very expensive, there is a high risk of failure. At worst, taking the other contrubutors view - the movement is badly designed in the first place and is doomed to break Whichever way, will they live beyond 5 years? Endorsement.......is it?..............hmm...... sort of, but very high caveats Why not go for a 9 o'clock seconds - more reliable and easier to replace movement when the unthinkable happens? Don't these one look as good? R

The truth is, they are such an attractive range of replica watches, that people only want to hear good news in justifying taking any risk............. For myself, I have had three $300ish 7750 replicas all with issues some small some large - one I live with, one I sent back for refund and the other I am getting a replacement movement - Shanghai Automatic Chronograph Movement 3LZF2 circa 120-150. Including fitting about $200. Not sure if these are the same movements put into replicas but I was recommended this. Servicing 7750's tends to be quite expensive as they are apparently easy to manufacturer but notoriously difficult to work with - needs a pretty skilled and experienced person to take apart and out together again Richard

I would be interested in availing myself of your services on a 7750. Do you do this? I live in Toronto Thanks Richard

Thanks for sharing this info. Very very encouraging! May I ask, why is your view so very different to Francisco's who slammed the movement as being a time bomb that should be worn as little as possible. So what elements do you disagree with? This form and others have shown its fair amount of 12 o'clock failures

I followed a couple of threads from July/August last year. The summary was that this modified 7750 movement is flawed and unreliable (although not as bad as the seconds at 6). Six months on, has anyone had experiences, good or bad with this. Thanks Richard

..............except the movement is likely to breakdown. Even the standard Asian 7750 (seconds at 9) is high risk - I speak from recent personal experience ... and three times .....perhaps I have been unlucky!!! Richard

He said the same thing to me . Probably more of an inventory issue though, I suspect. I heard there were other inaccurancies and the 12 O'clock will undoubtedly be over $560. Its a lot of money to pay for a fake / replica - hopwever accurate it is still a fake and nowheree near as good a the original - this is a 60K watch...

Blue face and black face, smooth bezel These seem to be available but only at a very small number of dealers. Has anyone bought one yet? Is the case of the replica genuinly larger than say a 39-40mm Milgauss or GMT II Thanks

I was thinking of buying a Deep Sea sea dweller but the question applies to any date watch So, they are available as follows : 1) Asian 21J 2813 - 21K beats 2) Asian ETA 2836 - 28K beats 3) Swiss ETA 2836 - 28K beats Are they as good as each other? Is it worth the investment to go for the top - will it last much longer? The second question is : The first one comes with a "synthetic Sapphire crystal"; the second and third with a "sapphire crystal". Can I assume that the first is a euphemism for mineral glass? Anyway are domed crystals genuinely available in Sapphire? Appreciate the views of this forum

I keep hearing about Andrew and Josh. How do I make contact with them to buy a watch. Do they have a website or trade name?
