Not too familiar with that brand and this might be a stupid question but would that movement work for a franken daytona?

really at that point I would rather get the gen for 5 as opposed to the 3 by concepta. Sucks they can't get the a7750 with the running sec at 6 to be more realiable

Hi I have a gen Roadster Chrono XL and want different options on leather straps than what is currently available. Does anyone make aftermarket straps for this watch?

Can an AP 15400 be frankenized? I just purchased my first rep 15400 miyota and once I learn the in's and out's of how to make a franken watch I'd like to build this one out. Prob with Gen Dial, gen movement if even possible, etc...

k, will do. BTW beautiful stable of IWC's you got there in your sig!

thanks everyone... i think i'm going to order and worst case if it fails I'll source a new movement... Higginsd do you think this would work? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=301186225028

thx! Are there any dealers on here that provide a better movement up front? I just emailed Domi to see what the cost would be for a gen replacement so we'll see if its worth it for me to buy and replace the movement right away. Also would a swiss 7550 work?

hack it meaning? removing the sec hand movement?

Being a newbie to the RW game I've been trying to read up on everything about quality, movements, etc... The issue for me is that I'm not sure what information is up to date or if the website stays a movement is new, if its really new... I was mulling between a couple of brands and decided on the Portuguese Chrono from Trusties. This seems to be the most up to date version as the 4 is correct as opposed to the older versions. What is freaking me out is that the movement is the 7750 which from what I've been reading is a time bomb, even the newer 29j version. Is this true still? Also can someone explain the 6 second hand issue? I can't seem to get a clear understanding on what that is.

Hi I'm a newbie to the rep area but decided as a everyday watch it's just more practical. Problem is, is that I know there are different quality reps out there and not sure if I should gauge the quality from the price. Also don't know who's a legit dealer or not. I was looking at this specific watch and it seemed that watcheden has the swiss valijous 7750 where other sites are using asia 7750. To me I honestly don't know the difference between the two but going off the fact ones swiss I assume that is the better movement. Has anyone bought this watch or from this vendor to know if its a good buy? Thanks in advance! Edit: Apparently I can't post a link yet so its the : Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Chrono Swiss Valjoux 7750 Movement Rose Gold Case with Brown Checkered Dial Brown Leat on watcheden's site
