The watch maker told me it is a RONDA movement instead of an ETA. This RONDA movement is not cheap and it is really a SWISS MADE movement. The non-Chrono version uses an Asian 21J automatic movement. I just took some pics with 1. PAM127 and 2.B&R 46mm on my wrist (I don't have a big wrist as well) and this may help you to decide whether you should buy this or not. Hope these help.

TNT shipment from China starts with GD and ends with WW. EMS shipment from China starts with EA and ends with CN(means China). You can trace your parcel at www.ems.com.cn.

The factory is not going to replicate it at this moment. The finish issues will be solved when the final product is out, this is only a sample and the watch maker had disembled it many times. I will ask the supplier to make this one well if the sales is good (I think you don't mind to own 2 versions of HBB). I don't think so, firstly, the dial has to be changed for a 7753 movement and secondly the bracelet is not replicated because the watch maker bought the gen with rubber strap only, he said the cost making the bracelet is too high.

I will send together with some tissue with the watch :-p I can do a special order of Swiss ETA-7750 for you if you want.

This is a genuine watch the watch maker bought for replication, it will take about 2 months to release (around Chinese New Year), the most difficult part for this watch is the rotatable inner ring, the watch maker said all these can be replicated 1:1 without problem Enjoy:

The original one is a modified ETA-2892A2 movement, running second at 3. An Asian 7750 cannot be used because 1. Too thick; 2. Running second at 9. This Ronda Swiss Quartz movement is even more expensive than the Asian 7750 movement, with running second at 3 and working chrono. That is why we chose this as the movement.

Excuse me, what do you mean? Sorry for my poor English.

Sure! But not yet started. Sure! No, not this one. Thanks YES!!! Your are a genius Admin, but the date font is alright. Oh... it will be out next month, may be I reserve one for you. Yes it does. The price has not confirmed yet. I am sorry Andrew, this is no longer a prototype, the final product will be the same as this besides the caseback is brushed, they will still with the dirt and grease if he put them in the same drawer Every dealer will have them on their respective albums/web-sites, our customers will have more choices It is 44.5mm. Ummm, actually this factory makes the Overseas as well, I don't know why... This is the final product already besides the caseback will be brushed. Sorry, the factory says they wont make at this moment. Yes, I think so, but unfortunately the manufacturer is not going to make it (at least this moment). haha, the flaw does not show in the front :-)

Price is not confirmed, and the appox release date is mid-Dec. And mine, too Sorry no, the bracelet is very costy and difficult to make. Once I have more info and I will post here. Different people have different tastes :-) Me, too. I have never thought about this brand before this Big Bang coming out. The 28.8k A7750 movement is quite stable to my view, the 21.6k one is less reliable. Yes it is 28.8K A7750, I think there will be other versions. The supplier said the gold bezel version is a new version which is not available on the official web-site. He will show me a book tomorrow.

Yes you should :-) I personally like the 2Tone one more The Breitlings are soon to be out (the current evo is the 2nd version, my pics show the 3rd version)

No, the criss-cross tire pattern only appears on the ceramic bezel version, not for the RG and SS version. There is already a manufacturer making the AP ROO, because the movement is not same as 7750, so it is very difficult to replicate. In case you have not seen the AP ROO pics: http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showtopic=16197

This is a sample and it is wore by the watch makekr every day, the new one should not in this way. I think the 2Tone one is very nice...

Today I dropped by the watch maker's place, saw the watch maker was not there (sad ). His assiatant said he will be back soon, so I went inside and sat down. Asked any new stuffs for me to take shots today and got an answer "You take a look yourself, I don't know (in Chinese of course )", I opened his drawer and saw TWO HUBLOT BIG BANG!! I took out the camera and shot them one by one, part by part... My DC heat up like boiling water when I finished :yucky: The watch maker came back and saw this, he shouted to me and said they are not for picturing yet because they are still samples. And I said I just took several pics for self enjoy, and he let me go, haha I think I will organise a group buy on this and I hope you guys can support my group buy :-) This is the final sample with only ONE significant flaw, come on you guys specialists, let's see who is the first to point it out

I remember you Kirk

But I usually write "Mineral Crystal" instead.

It's almost done, should have pics within this week (hopefully)

Why not? I can wake you up with some new watch pics when you feel tired Sure and let's see if we can break the record

It's my pleasure to hear that

Thanks! I was asking the RWG Admins about vacancy to come back every week, and today I received an e-mail from the Admin, thanks god I can come back, I must be doing much better than I did before I am glad to hear about that, thanks! I am sure we will have more transactions in the future

Thanks all for your info, will let the facotry know about it. @Mark: what do you mean by standard arktos caseback? @slay: sorry, should be the same as last one, but the quality should be improved, will ask him as well. @leitztozeiss: This crystal is made according to the genuine one, non-two lens one.

A sample from the factory, really nice. I have never seen a PAM with correct date mag like this one. AR coating is nice, I am not an expert on PAMs, any improvement on this beauty is welcome. I can talk to the factory to improve it if possible. Enjoy

Just got them today, not 100% perfect but looks really nice, 39mm with new A7750 mvt 28,800vph. Enjoy

I think there are still some forum members are looking for those ultimate Fiddy with Swiss Swan neck UNITAS movement and sapphire crystal. Now we have Davidsen's crystal with AR and plus the following SUPER UNITAS-6497 movement and you can build your own super ultimate fiddy, PAM111E or PAM183G. This beauty is modified from Swiss UNITAS-6497 movement, the printing on the bridge is engraved onto the metal instead of a thin piece of metal plate. Most importantly, take a look on the Swan Neck regulator, it has the fat pin like original!!! And I also want to clearfy that the Swan neck regulator is FULLY FUNCTIONABLE instead of just a decleration!! Enjoy the pics and more pics and pricing information are available on the Dealers area under Pure Time section. Cheers, Angus
