Very close, but movement on watch on the right is gen. Balance wheel is at 7:00.

They look very close from the front.

The watches Andrew or the other cartel members sell are some of the better un-modded watches you can get. For half of what the other site is charging you will get a great watch . You also get the backing of the community if you have a problem with one of the trusted dealers. My .02

I ordered a watch over the CNY. It shipped on Feb 3, stayed in china customs till the 8th, and now is somewhere in transit. Just a guess but there may have been a lot of backed up packages in china and the post is taking longer than usual. I know it's impossible, but be patient and your watch will eventually arrive.

Thanks guys. Will go ahead and get it serviced. Disappointed, but not the end of the world.

Just got my 177m with the asian 6497 movement today and it looks great. Unfortunately it's not working so great. It seems to be gaining crazy amounts of time. I matched it to a stopwatch and it was gaining about 4sec/min. Is this gain serviceable or is the watch beyond repair? I am willing to try small scale repair, but this seems like beyond anything I can do. If this is repairable can anyone recommend a local watch repair shop in central Florida or someone who I can contact online for repair?

Thanks for the help

Puretime has a new 177m with leather strap. Pic of the 177m with the caseback showing the M serial numbers. This is the first time I have seen the M caseback. all others have the L in the pics. Also states 6497-2. I wonder if this means its gonna be available soon?? I'm getting excited.

I ordered a 177m from Andrew on 20 April, with stocks supposedly in on the 25th. Last e-mail from him said stocks supposed to be in on may 8-10. I still haven't received QC pics yet so I am assuming the factory is still behind. Hopefully soon but as of now the 177m is still not out.
