Well.. I got it.. Finally after waiting for so long.
I have seen the watch and wear it at the UK meeting and I think I can compare it with the watchhonpo version.
It is definately the same case.. same weight.. which means HEAVY..
The movement on this is DEFINATELY the 7750b1 version because it is so smoother then than base 7750.
The chrono works perfect (I have it running for the gears to lube) and resets to 0 etc etc..
Subdials are aligning perfect.
The date is thinner than the Watchhonpo version but not so noticable because of the rehault of the datemag.
It is a minus BUT not so different to make it a fuss...trust me.
Only problem (if we can call it a problem) with my watch is that the bezel is not tightened. I know Marks was really REALLY hard to turn and this is so so easy..
I know that neither of the two is ok but I would prefer a tight one than a kind of loose. I guess if someone cares too much he can tighten it????
What about the serial numbers? Are they the same? I have number 995, Eddie in his photoalbum has 298 so I guess it is individualy numbered which is AWESOME...
Difference with the Watchhonpo version... The AR coating.. That's something that it is something NOTICABLE if you put the watches side by side. EL version has no AR at all.
Lume is standard crap rep lume. Not so big problem because this is supposed to be a Tritium dial and shouldn't be so bright.
Don't know if there are any other question... I think it's time for the photos to speak
