  1. What ever they're doing in those sweat shops really makes me think rolex has over thought this whole thing, unless all that technology was just rented for the commerical.
  2. That looks super sharp nikki, how much did the work set you back? The factory lume really sucks, I'd like to get that redone and a service, if it's not too expensive. I must have gotten unlucky on mine, the thing came to a stop while on my wrist! Then again after sitting on my desk for a while waiting to be shipped back, gave it a few good shakes to fire it up, and nothing. Both times I had to give the crown a turn to get it started again, dunno if it was a touch of manual winding or adjusting the time.
  3. Apparently this is how the AR on this watch is supposed to look. However Josh is going to exchange it on account of the wobbly crown and date font. +1 for recommended dealers.
  4. Thanks for the feedback. I'm not really concerned about the crown logo, but the photo they showed had it lined up nice, and my cheap sub rep has it lined up pretty good, so thats just what I was let to expect. Here's a couple of pictures with a florescent light shining on it not the best pic, but you can see the date font isn't centered, and it isn't just the shadow. a shot comparing the AR to that of a Breitling I've been informed that the O-ring is inside the case and not one on the outside like the sub. My bad. Do all asia 7750 movements have a real sloppy feel when you pull the crown out to adjust the time?
  5. I stand corrected on the second remark though, only the date window is misaligned/font is misaligned. The numbers aren't centered, they touch the top of the date window on the top with a large gap on the bottom. The second hand does appear to be centered on the 12:00 marker, my eyes were playing tricks on me, actually I'm going to blame the lack of AR for that mistake lol
  6. Asia 7750 This is the exact one I ordered http://www.perfect-hour.com/0tglc01013-link-chrono-tachy-ssss-blue-asia-7750-28800-p-7477.html One more thing, there's no O-ring for the crown! Again, falsely advertised. Again, even my $45 submariner has that feature.
  7. I just got my Tag Link Chrono from Perfect-Hour.com after reading some stellar reviews and hearing that it's a true "super rep". Here's a few things that I immediately noticed, and keep in mind I'm far from an expert, this is my first "good" rep. There's no AR coating on the crystal in spite it being advertised as so. The dial is missaligned, the second hand when reset to 12:00 isn't centered on the 12:00 marker, and the date window is also a little out of line. Some of the links on the bracelet grind, I've never handled a gen, so this might be normal. The crown/stem have a remarkably cheep feel to them, when unscrewed to adjust time there's a lot of play, the crown wobbles around. And when fully screwed in the logo on the crown isn't lined up straight. The play in the crown/stem also makes screwing it back in kind of tricky cause it wants to go in on an angle and cross thread. I was pretty surprised by this because the cheap Submariner rep i bought in an ally in Shanghai for $45 is much better in this regard. What do you guys think of this? I could let everything else slide but I'm pretty chapped about there being no AR, thats a dead giveaway and false advertising. I'll post some pictures later when I got time.
  8. gplracer, I ordered mine from WM9 Seraphe, Thanks for the info Mil_sub, I know, I was mulling it over at $550, then they hiked up the price to $775, I still had a browser page open with the earlier price, so I figured what the hell, if thats what theyre going to be going for now I might as well.
  9. It's for the blue bezel model. I couldn't figure out exactly what WM9 had done, but i read several allegations of them being scammers. Whats up with that?
  10. Hey guys, after reading several posts of people recommending getting a WM9 if you want the best rep available, and seeing that BK deals with them I placed an order for a TT Sub for $550. Now I've just been reading old posts on WM9 and there's a lot of negative things said, but these posts are a couple years old. Whats the deal, should I be worried or cancel my order?
