I must say that the new rubber bracelet and clasp that were included with my a7753 250 from Josh seems to be a new breed as well. Very soft rubber with the new style keeper, and the deployment is the best rep deployment that I've seen. I'll get some better photos up soon.
Josh is really fantastic...
Mine has left for the US
Thanks for the pics, they tide me over enough that I stop checking my tracking info for an hour or so.
should be an easy fix, just heat it up a tiny bit and bend it with a pir of pliers. it only needs to move like .5 mm
im not sure it will bother me enough to do anythingg about it. im ordering one too, repmakers should be rewarded
No worries dude, Paypal freezes the funds for 21 days or until you leave positive feedback. You could also go one step further and fund the PP purchase with a CC card, then you would have chargeback ability as well.
I would like to know this as well. My watch came with a V1 dial but how can I tell if it's high beat of low? Do the movements look significantly different?
I never understood why people ask this question. The answer will never be 'there are no flaws' and the ones you learn about will only make you like the watch less. Ignorance is bliss.
It felt unfinished and cheap, the lugs looked weird and the CG is way wrong. I was able to compare it to a gen 5513 that I owned at the time. The confirmation will be that the serials are not unique.
Whithout a doubt it is not a gen case, I bought one of these from Girard about 6 Months ago when he claimed 100% authentic then I sent it back. Everything is rep with the exception of the movement. I emailed him back with links (mostly ebay as I recall) of a few other watches with the same serial.
I bought a Skyland Avenger V1 with the V2 dial from Watchstation for $180. I am completely blown away by the quality of this watch and the included rubber strap. I think that this is easily the best buy I've ever had the pleasure of owning. It's crazy how much more satisfying this watch is over paying $400+ for those of similar quality. Anyone else feel this way?
The "buddy's" looked a lot like this one...

I returned it because it was not very good. Bezel didn't turn smoothly and when I pulled it off, I saw that the crystal was glued to the case and the bezel was just one piece.
I just converted my 176 to a 177 so I have the seconds gear with the shortened pin if you're interested. It's really easy to change the wheel out, just remove two pieces of bridge and replace it. The gears all self align into the bottom jewels, so getting them back into the bridge jewels is a snap. If yer interested in the part just give me a shout.
BTW, Joshua's has real double AR and correct datewheels now. Super Rep. I got mine fer $275 via ems
