  1. No people got burned that i know off. I do know he had is paypal frozen shortly before his retirement, and for a short while only took orders from trusted return customers.
  2. It's not that simple to see in person without some kind of chemical tests to make sure what type of steel it is. What Bike Mikes tests shows is, the watch case isn't 316L at all. Unless tested we simply dont know what the heck type o steel the reps are made off. In short, Bike Mikes test shows that an (in his test case rolly) rep is assembled from parts, probably from different manufacturers, using various types of steel to manufacture. Considering the shade/niche of the rep biz it most is likely they will use any type of steel to get the final product out that makes the money regardless...
  3. Strange, just went through the BIN procedure but something went wrong... it's still up!!
  4. There is not going to be an asian 7753. Except for us nitpickers the a7750 tricompex layout wil fill the 7753 gap quite nicely. Sure the datewheel is sunken, atleast they get the font right, well sortoff... On the gen the datewheel seems also (albeit a litle) sunken.
  5. Atleast keep it time related If chuck is late, time better slow the [censored] down!
  6. Chuck norris don't need no watch, he decides what time it is.
  7. Probably for ridiculous prices.
  8. Curious to know what can be done about the gaps. What's your plan?
  9. I used to get them from George. Don't know if he stil got them though... pm sent.
  10. Got the same, great watch, good movement. Got to love asymetric dial.
  11. Its chinese new year, it can take a couple of more days.
  12. Actually, me personally, i don't understand. For me the rep game is based on other foundations. However i'm not a judgemental kinda guy. To each his own.
  13. Now there is a valid argument
  14. The 6 o clock register on the v23 is a 24 hour counter, not a chronograph counter.
  15. Same dial as 72, yes. You will have to use a DW mystery case with an valjoux 23. Val 23 is robust movement if serviced properly a perfect timekeeper, though offcourse more outdated.
  16. IMO not worth the extra 70. No garuantee the swiss eta is'nt a surplus movement. Take the clone eta, and use the 70 bucks for whenever it craps out.
  17. Proably he doesn't answer because the chinese new year.
  18. Well i have to admit, i fall in love with the place. Some pics to get in the mood... Whistler From Vancouver to Whistler Vancouver As to dining, i am a sucker for italian food. Vancouver North on Lonsdale Ave there is Braco Cucina. Excelent red salmon. Downtown there is Don Francesco, also excelent red salmon... I guess i like the BC red salmon Have a great time.
  19. Never seen a 4 dot. Can you post a pic?
  20. You need a new part, which one i don't know, the zigmeister and fransico probably know, i recall zigmeister once did a pictorial illustrating the problem and result to the part, however cant seem to find it. Might not be worth the hassle nor the dollars if you cant do it yourself tho... Might aswel buy an a7750 mov and replace.
  21. Thats an issue with the 7750, you cant change the date between roughly 6 pm til 4 am. This is because the date change mechanism is enganged and will get damaged. This rule applies to both swiss eta and asian 7750.
  22. Besides what's mentioned above, (some of) the hand sizes are different. Which means, you cant simply swap an a7750 for an eta7750 without working the hands or replace with new hand set.
  23. It wont work the rolly datewheel are numbers clockwise, the eta datewheel nubmers are counter clockwise. 1570 2846
  24. Actually its the other way around. Saphire stays cold much longer. Mineral adjust rapidly to room temperature.
  25. Actually it is. For once the rep makers made it 100%
