  1. Nice one. It definitely deserves a better pearl and a V3 bracelet, but TC's it's the best LV version at the moment.

    Crystal looks very good, but I still don't understand why investing big bucks in a AR crystal which is incorrect for this serial instead of using money for other stuff like gen insert/crown/bezel,dwo..

    I like the AR, makes reading the date so much easier.

    Let's say this is a 2010 random series LV :)

    What would you recommend todo with the pearl?

  2. Not a gen crystal but one from BC.

    the mods are:

    TC SUB

    1. TC V series Sub as mid case (no rehaut engraving and gen crown position

    2. Aligned the 6 and 9 indices on dial.

    3. V2 Bracelet SEL fit

    4. BC Crystal

    I'm planning to put in a V2 Datewheel and maybe the V3 bracelet and do something about the pearl.

  3. I have two of these now, one gen but (the doppler chronograph), and because it's such a great watch expensive as i got a rep as daily beater. It's like taking my ferrari to go shopping, you just don't like doing it. My rep 3717 has a gen movement and double AR. It's verry close to a gen. I got the watch of Concepta, not the most communicative lad and you need to chase him up but he delivers. He got me rep 31717 with gen a movement and it runs 0,5sec fast a day, that's impressive.

    One tell tell on the rep is the crown, if there is something you want to mod, then it's the crown. I can spot a fake 3717 from a mile away :winkiss:

  4. This Infomation does not sound right. The new 250 Is avalable with the A7750,there are several reviews of that watch here. I would double check all Info,sometimes the language barrier can muddy the waters,sort of speak.

    I agree, i asked him pictures of the 250 and the movement but he's back on the 11th he told me. King's probably celebrating new year as we speak.

    I'll keep you guys posted.

  5. That would he very interesting news. Since the dial from the current A7753 does not work with the e7753. Are they making different dials especially for e7753 models?

    I'll double check with King. He said the 250 is currently only available with the swiss 7753, not with the A7753, which probably indicates the movement is not a straight swap.

    King's message:

    > Dear my friend I have it. But this one only has Swiss eta 7753 version. The

    > Asian 7753 version does not available yet.

    Dear my friend the watch is us$825 including shipping cost already :)

    Anything need help email to me

    Your friend

  6. If he does find one with a swiss movement. Expect to pay close to $800usd. Not worth it in my opinion.. Even if you do get a swiss movement, you better make SUREEEE you get it serviced. Just because it's swiss doesn't mean it will run any better, especially coming from China

    yes you are right i just got word from king, he's offering a 250 with a swiss 7753 for $825usd, that's expensive to some but it's still only a 1/10th of the price of a gen + plenty of cash left get the movement serviced. He said he'll be back at work the 11th, i'll put in my order then.

  7. I would think all of are trusted dealers have these reps. Read a few dealer reviews then decide what dealer Is best for your needs. The truth is you wont go wrong with any of RWG's trusted dealers.:)

    thanks i just sent a message to king to see if he has this in stock, i don't see the model on his site. I do see he has the swiss movement, maybe be can make me one with swiss movement. B)

  8. pretty sure no swiss.... In any case, The Zigmeister did an EXTENSIVE review of the new 7753 movements in this watch and concluded that they were quite decent as long as you get them serviced. The movement he reviewed came rather dirty and under oiled in some parts, over oiled in others... But with good servicing this movement should last you forever :)

    Thanks for the information, i just read the review.

    Which vendor would you recommend to the best 250? I do think i'll have somebody swap out the A7753 with a swiss 7753 movement, i'm a bit fussy when it comes to movements :p

  9. Hi all,

    i have a wonderfull PAM111h but i'm really missing the date function and a working chrono and now in the market for a 250

    Before i go out and spend 6K euros on a 250 i would like to know if there is anybody here that can find me a Franken Pam 250.

    I had a look at davidsen's PAM196, the movement is good but it has quite a number of flaws, the crown being an absolute no-no and it's an old model. I'm looking for something really really close to the gen 250.

    if you have any ideas let me know.
