lanikai Posted June 29, 2009 Report Posted June 29, 2009 Perfect Clones... http://www.jpc8118.com/0000000000000bo0194...750-p-6543.html
oberblender Posted June 29, 2009 Report Posted June 29, 2009 hahaha... now they are even made with 2 genuine samples....
Jkay Posted June 29, 2009 Report Posted June 29, 2009 Made with not one but TWO gens as a sample!!!! lol I likey ... but it needs more straps as options. brushed SS with some form of brown/tan wristband would be amazing. I'd like to see it on various shades of brown to decide.
Jkay Posted June 29, 2009 Report Posted June 29, 2009 and REAL cap head screws on the back are a huge bonus. +++ for this factory. I have one in black with real screws and the anti-dust rubber strap (quartz mvnt) and it's so sweet.
Member X Posted June 29, 2009 Report Posted June 29, 2009 *noob question alert!* So, it has a "First of its kind Movt. Same Configuration as Eta 2894, High Beat 28.8k and working regulator" with the seconds at 3. Is this an entirely new movement then? An ETA2894 clone? Is this the first seconds-at-3 movement? I know a lot (all?) of the previous reps had incorrect subdials due to not being able to do seconds at 3... Thanks in advance!
ubiquitous Posted June 29, 2009 Report Posted June 29, 2009 Based on what I am reading, this model simply contains a re-worked, reconfigured 7750 with secs moved to 3:00, and not an actual clone of the 2894 (i.e. 2892 + DD module).
Member X Posted June 29, 2009 Report Posted June 29, 2009 Thanks Ubi Would it therefore be safe to assume there may be the same issues as the seconds-at-6 A7750??
ubiquitous Posted June 29, 2009 Report Posted June 29, 2009 I think the secs@3:00 7750's are less problematic than the secs@6:00; Zigmeister's performed a great teardown of the secs@3:00 movement here: 7750 seconds at 3:00 If this new 7750 is the same/similar in design, I think it should be fairly reliable...
coolfire Posted June 29, 2009 Report Posted June 29, 2009 I'd have to agree with my friend, Ubi here.
Member X Posted June 29, 2009 Report Posted June 29, 2009 Thanks again, both Apologies for the lack of searching before I posted, I should have known such info already existed!
FxrAndy Posted June 29, 2009 Report Posted June 29, 2009 *I would be interested in seeing this movement, particualy as it opens the way for a good monaco! and 2 gens, what did they fxxc the first up?
flatline8260 Posted July 8, 2009 Report Posted July 8, 2009 lol... 2 Gens as sample.... Unfortunately, while staring at those 2 gens, they failed to get the spelling correct: on the back it seems to read "MILITARY SPES.", instead of the correct "MILITARY SPEC".
oberblender Posted July 8, 2009 Report Posted July 8, 2009 lol... 2 Gens as sample.... Unfortunately, while staring at those 2 gens, they failed to get the spelling correct: on the back it seems to read "MILITARY SPES.", instead of the correct "MILITARY SPEC". I always wonder how they make those watches... if you have a gen, why wouldn't you just copy it using "wax copies" of every single part?
rangers158 Posted July 8, 2009 Report Posted July 8, 2009 The 7750 movement already too thick. With the mod to 3, it is way thicker than gen which uses another movement. I think it 2892 with a chrono module. Thickness looks ridiculous IMHO...
gillism Posted November 8, 2009 Report Posted November 8, 2009 Sorry to bring this up again - but i'm looking for a BR01 - which one is the closest to the Gen - i've noticed they've mis-spelt the back - but have they managed to do the hex screws for strap properly or are they still fakes? I was at an AD and the stainless version was a beaut! any help appreciated Cheers
Dudemeister Posted November 8, 2009 Report Posted November 8, 2009 lol... 2 Gens as sample.... Unfortunately, while staring at those 2 gens, they failed to get the spelling correct: on the back it seems to read "MILITARY SPES.", instead of the correct "MILITARY SPEC". I must be the stereo effect they go from looking at both of them simultaneously. It also looks like they're tried to remove the screw (the one with the pointer toward it) and they managed to strip it. As far as the movement is concerned, it appears to be similar to the one they did for the PO chrono, with tucked in sub-dials, except it has seconds running at 3 instead of 9. Take a look at the date window, it appears to suffer from that sunken feeling that most mods suffer from.
Jkay Posted November 9, 2009 Report Posted November 9, 2009 Sorry to bring this up again - but i'm looking for a BR01 - which one is the closest to the Gen - i've noticed they've mis-spelt the back - but have they managed to do the hex screws for strap properly or are they still fakes? As far as I'm aware, all BR chrono models are too thick compared to the Gen, due to the space needed for the extra gearing needed to replicate the chrono functions. They are noticeably thicker. Asking which is closest to Gen ... well ... none of them Just buy one you really like! I bought a Quartz powered model to get the nice slim case.
Cosmo Posted November 9, 2009 Report Posted November 9, 2009 The additional thickness improves the design of the gen.
