heh thanks for the comment! So i've heard - the gen is 41mm , this rep case is about 43-44mm so I guess if they'll make the case 41mm like it should have been - the sub-dial spacing wouldn't look as bad as it does now Oh and the silver subdials should have been creamy white! Well I didn't expect too much $135 this watch shipped with DHL, but it works ok for telling the time and the chrono works too , kind of an odd feeling as I shake it once in awhile (used to spin the rotors on my automatics)

OK so I have ordered a "Panda" (suppose to be black dial with white sub-dials) Portuguese chrono quartz from some dealer ( not one of our known dealers though) Watch works, chrono is ok (small minutes hands not as accurate). overall good and keeps good time. The watch received actually has SILVER sub-dials and not white ! My first ever quartz chrono rep .. Here I go :-P Let me know what you're thinking - Here's a quick and dirty shot :

Thanks for the photos James ! they are really good actualy! @Lobster: but the sweeping quartz movements have only the chrono hand sweep, the small-secs hand still ticks , or maybe i'm talking rubbish? :-) It can get even cooler if they would produce a quartz movement with the chrono and small-secs hands both sweeping. There used to be an Omega "speedsonic" chrono with a tuning-fork movement which had all hands sweep, how sweet.

Hey James thanks for the response and the information! I actually liked the dial layout of the watch - that was the first reason for me wanting to buy a rep. I've read the flows you have mentioned and they are not a big deal for me, knowning that if i'm buying a quartz version it's cause I like the look of the watch and wanna see how it's like (all of my reps to date are either a7750 for my chronos and ETA's / Asian-ETA's for the non crono) I understand that the quartz version is stable. I was thinking about getting the black dial with white sub-dials. I'd love to see your photos Many thanks!!

Thanks for the reply! I like the watch for the way it looks, I never try to pass my reps as gens- So I would not mind slight changes (such as dial color a little off, or dial font not 99% as per gen etc..) yeah you're right an automatic watch will never look accurate when it ticks rather then sweeps. and What else is not accurate ? Dail size ? sub-dials position ? case thinkness? Thanks again

Hi ! I haven't been here for years ! so glad to see rwg is still kicking , too bad I did not remember my username and password so I've had to create a new account ! Well i'm back ! Still own my Breitling for bentley A7750 and Rolex sub ETA. Recently I was looking at the Portuguese Chronograph , the black dail with white sub-dials model. I really fall in love with the layout of the watch. I wanted to get an a7750 automatic one, but the 6 oclock problem is something I didn't want to tackle with. So I wanna get a quartz version. What do you think about this purchase? How's the quartz version? does anyone own it ? Thanks!
