Erm, those links have either seconds at 9, are actual chronograph watches, or have a display back for the look of the original movement..... I think you are missing the point

Another thing to remember with the 7750 running with a center seconds hand, is that it will not look smooth... In fact with a big watch like this, the jerky movement of the second hand will be even more evident

Do those PAMS have running seconds at 9?

Thats true, but they usually need the 7750 for the running seconds being moved elswhere, or a display back for the visual effect....

It is strange that it is using a 7750, don't really understand that Nasty looking watch anyway, in my opinion.....

Thats true, for $200 it is a good deal Most people that come into the shop see a big lens as better, without really knowing why they do.... Large zooms will give a narrower focal length and obviously make the camera much larger. Then there are issues with lighting and the flash length etc... in lower/poorer lighting conditions... When using macro shots, you don't usually use the zoom, you pull the lens right back. The large zoom is only used for bringing the subject matter closer from a distance. So in actual fact most times, buying a smaller camera which will be much more portable (so might find more use as a result), with maybe only a 3x zoom, will serve you really well. The fact that it will probably have a wider angle lens, will help in areas with a more general use (trying to fit everyone in the picture sitting in a restaurant etc...) It will still be great for macro shots too.... Now if you were going on safari, or wanted wildlife pictures where getting close the subject matter is not possible, then a big zoom is what you want! (and a steady hand/tripod) Cheers!

Sure it would be adequate, no doubt about it. Also 6.3-63mm is the focal length equivalent to 38-380mm on a 35mm Camera Specs: (Based on Fuji S700) * 7.1-Megapixel CCD image sensor for poster size prints * 10x optical zoom (38-380mm equiv) * Single or Continuous AF and Manual focus * Focus assist illuminator for low-light * Electronic color viewfinder w/230K pixels (approx. 97% frame coverage) * 2.5″ LCD Color Monitor w/230K pixels (approx. 97% frame coverage) * Movie Mode; 30fps @ 640

I would have thought for close up macro shots, having that large zoom would not really be of any help? The 10x zoom would work out as roughly equivalent to 38-380mm. A lens with a focal length equivalent of 28-84mm would be better suited for that type of close up photo, no? Cheers!

If you are going to get the hands for the Swiss 7750, why go the extra mile for the genuine bezel? The bezel improves the watch tenfold A gen SS bracelet also makes a huge difference (rep bracelet is very poor), but it is really expensive. A cheaper option would be to pop it on a gen Omega blue rubber strap, and then you would have a 99.99% accurate replica! Just for you own reference: http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showto...17&hl=omega Just a taster of what you have to look forward too

Is there not an old saying, along the lines of.... "If you can't beat them, ignore them and hope they go away" Or at least some thing like that anyway..... Seriously though, that is marketing BS right there....

Rated:*Informative* Thanks for the tip

Ah Touch

OK so here is a question. What is the cheapest way to get a 36,000bph watch?

Nice looking watch, thanks for the update, long may it tick for you I never really realized before, but while the case is thicker than the gen, it is really the bezel that is much thicker and more angled, compared to the flatter gen bezel....... We really won't ever get an accurate modern Daytona it seems!

Ah yes I forgot about that Give a little, get a little..........

Ok I am very interested, let me just try and remortgage my house to get the funds Please snap some pictures using a low resolution phone or webcam!

Why even consider buying from them? Look at the dealers on the board, plenty of choice and reviews to look through......... Don't buy from scam sites, it is usually a bad idea Welcome to the forums!

Yep, Royal Mail registered international signed for delivery, last time I sent one back, it took 10 days Safer too....

Sweet! Thanks for the info, let me just rate your post..... Oh yeah! D'OH

I am looking for one too! I want one with a few mods though, namely: genuine case, bracelet, crystal, dial/hands, bezel, insert, pearl, movement, date wheel, crown/tube and if you can find one with box and papers too, I would 100% condsider buying it from you! No luck as of yet though.....

This is the best price I have found, from RWG's newest dealer: http://www.timeshops.net/list.asp?ProdId=1110-422 Welcome to the forum! Cheers!

Hehe, well there is nothing stopping you PM'ing me with an offer I cannot refuse........ I am always open to trades, and I would not take offence, unless you offer me some sort of canal street rep!

Indeed, there may be quite a few members with older Exp II's in their collection, blissfully unaware of the potential for a project watch right under their nose

It seems it may be hard to recreate this watch now, with a genuine dial at least... The new Exp II's are larger than the case mine is using, so the gen 27mm dial is too small to fit So you will need to find an old case Exp II, with the wrong hand stack, to stand any chance of success. Cheers!
