Yes these look too dark, ive put in an order, but i cant live with the dark hands, ill take the slow beat correct hands over the fast beat and incorrect hands.
Or is it the light?
Andrew can you share some light on the matter?
thanks
The date is a weak point on the asian 7750... a swiss 7750 will probably have better date position.
however a lot of expensive watches have poor aligned date.
well i took the plunge with andrews, since i am planning on putting in a swiss valjoux., but i may buy Angus verstion too for better case and AR crystal.
anyways, dont know where you live in Netherlands, we could do a gen vs andrews/joshua's.
One thing tho that is different is the bottom side of the case, especially the shape from the case to the lugs (also on the bottom) the joshua/TWG version is a bit square compared to the gen and to the one posted by Angus on TRC.
Jushua/TWG
Angus
The gen has the bottonside of the lugs shaped more like Angus's version
Ok seems the circles are hard to photograph on the rep aswel as the gen.
check this pic

you see different shaded circles, which seems to be the tiny grooves.
heres a detail shot of the circles on the gen

no grooves on the real deal either

Hi all.
This thread has been very informative, i managed to get all parts off including the crystal retaining ring. Only thing i got left is crystal itself.
How to remove the crystal? i read lift the crystal, but i cannot seem to lift the crystal. Did i miss something here? or do i need some kinda tool?
I dont want to damage it because i need it later.
The watch i am working on is a WM whiteletter 1680.
Thanks,
Slick
you have good chance it wil be reusable.
If too long you can cut off, or you can buy stem extenders to make it longer. or you can buy other stems, they are not expansive.
btw je kan het heel makkelijk testen. je kan het makkelijk knippen met een knijptang met schuine bek.
reps of DD & DJ are albeit minor nit-pitting-things aside, very good. Only case when your quote holds true, if the pic shows the watch on a weighting scale.
I have variouse gen, and rep 2892 based watches, and i must say, i have difficulty seeing any difference in sweep smoothness between 2836/24 and the 2892, if any.
i dont think is worth it.
