  1. Maybe a ProII bracelet would fit.. that is.. if the lugs are indeed spaced for a 22mm bracelet... Don't see it looking good on this watch though
  2. Agree with Teejay.. But as previously stated.. If you want QC pics, then you should ALWAYS specify that you'd like them before ordering the watch.
  3. This is an M series.. as indicated by the title. Not sure what the difference is on this M-series vs. the previous L-series since I've been pretty absent for the last couple months. The L and M series are your best bets right now.... as they are the closest to 1:1 that this version has gotten
  4. Great review Edge... I drooled the whole time! unas fotos que te cagas tio!
  5. Correct, The gen insert comes with the Bezel Assembly. Not available by itself. Here ya go:
  6. Good luck! i'm holding out.. but best wishes with your first run!
  7. not another one of these threads... I'm gone for a month, and it looks like you vets have gone soft on me!! show this noob the ropes!
  8. Hey S! Welcome to the jungle bro!! I'd love to get some pics of the celebration from you! you've got my email right?
  9. Saludos desde madrid! Por donde andas Macauli??? Welcome to the forum. I've been gone for a while, but nice to come back and see some new faces!
  10. Welcome. HOpe to see you around!
  11. Sorry, Didnt want you to think i'm taking anything personal here.. Nor did I mean to offend you personally. Looking back, I probably overdid it with the word half-assed.. When I said half-assed, i meant your opinion.. which is not technical nor of any sound merit.. Its just an opinion you formed not based on breakdowns.. or research on the movement. Just like you could say a toyota is a shitty, unreliable car. Research and statistics and general public image of the company would probably tell everyone else otherwise. With proper care and driving your toyota could last you 20 years. Yes indeed you're entitled to your opinion, There's no doubt that a swiss ETA is a bit better than the A7750.. but it's also quite a bit more expensive and never a direct swap. If it's bought used, there's also no guarantee it will run better than a serviced A7750.. You wouldn't buy a car without having it serviced... why would you buy a watch that you like without getting it serviced? My point is that serviced.. both the Asian as well as the Swiss should run for years. That fact can't be disputed. The other undisputed fact is that you never know what you get from the factories.. and now that many dealers are oferring the swiss 7750.. there's no guarantee that because its swiss it will run better.. in fact, its very probable that the swiss 7750 they give you will be old stock, with possible dust, dirt and grime gumming up the movement.. in which case.. you're in the same boat as if you had bought the a7750.. In need of a service... My sincere apologies Kal.. friendly spirited banter is always welcome, and I'm never one to purposely offend anyone if can be avoided. Rock on
  12. If we're gonna open up the can of worms about handwinding... let's do it somewhere else. Some watchmakers have said it's a bad idea to do on ANY automatic movement (eta or otherwise) and others have said there's no problems. Seriously.. been on the forum for many years.. and this topic has been beaten to death. What HAS NOT been beaten to death is this topic on whether or not the 7750 is reliable once serviced. The fact of the matter is.. with a good servicing you shouldn't need to handwind any automatic movement. A few good shakes and off you go. I feel sorry for Kal Vilmer and his HORRIBLE experience.. but he is but a novice.. and I honestly don't see how anyone could say that the 7750 is unreliable especially in its current form. It is the base movement for almost all of our chronograph watches and has been proven to be quite a work horse when properly cared for and serviced. If Kal Vilmer can demonstrate otherwise.. i Might accept his outlandish statement.. but history proves you wrong. Sure there's been a few bad apples, but overall i trust the opinion of someone like francisco or The Zigmeister much more than you and your half-assed word Kal.... Seriously.. I mean.. Those guys are experts in horology.. who are you to say anything about the reliability of the movement even when serviced?? Sounds to me like your passing judgement on the movement itself simply because of YOUR bad experience with an unserviced watch. just my 2 cents
  13. blast from the past I like an occasional thread dive though!
  14. Thanks bro!! Thanks S. See ya around more often in May.. march was rough!!!! haha.. not birth.... Between, traveling, my computer breaking.. working, and getting projects done for my masters..

  15. im diggin the chronopassion.. this just might be my next ap grail
  16. I've been gone for 2 weeks and have 47 pages of "new posts" to catch up on!!!! jeezuz
  17. p.s. @Kal Vilmer: Sounds like you should stop buying Chrono movements.. which ARE intrisically more complicated than your standard ETA-2824-2 movement. But comparing the reliability of the A7750 to the swiss 7750.. you can´t say that the asian is a pos
