Just got around to reading this review. Fantastic work. I've been on the fence about this one but now feel more educated about it.
Thanks for taking the time to write this up and share
Pic links don't work but from the description it seems like the older 17J 7750 which many members have purchased off the bay and had transplants done with no issues.
The one Joe has listed is the newer 25J 7750 movement and is being represented as new stock whereas the 17J on the bay is likely a used movement.
My take, either will do the job but Joe's is less likely to need a service right away so it could be a wash in TCO.
Nice choice. I had the first generation Rose Gold VC Reg and loved it. In some respects, yours is more accurate with the officers Caseback, etc.
It is a great dress watch. Wear it well
While I agree in principal Pug and also believe this customer needs his day in court Kruz, I think threats like this should fall under a zero tolerance policy and warrant a ban from the forum. there are more civil ways to work this out and the tone I am seeing on the boards lately has gone from casual call-outs to down right nasty attitudes. I'm starting to get sick of it
I opted to go with the more expensive ETA model with the double AR crystal. Aside from the movement and the crystal, the Asian model is the same.
Of course, the AR makes the watch more accurate.
