zbig Posted August 18, 2006 Report Posted August 18, 2006 (edited) Realy realy not bad, it's amasing how good rep they make. Maybe crown is a little bit to small. Edited August 18, 2006 by szumi
Richard Tracy Posted August 18, 2006 Report Posted August 18, 2006 Sweet ! What are the sizes and movement of these models.. anyone know without a search ? I will really have a difficult time deciding between the two...

Richard Tracy Posted August 18, 2006 Report Posted August 18, 2006 Thanks Szumi,... Here is data from iwc.com Glass: sapphire, convex, antireflective - Water-resistant: 3 bar (30 m) - Case diameter: 40.9 mm - Case height: 12.3 mm I don't see the panda at iwc .. So maybe you were right... the panda is a fantasy... so looks like my decision was made for me.... White & gold it is.... & at 41mm..Perfect size, imo.. as I found the Jones to be too large in design... Notice how they are making a great attempt at reproducing the dial silver patina of the gen ? Finally !!! I wonder how long it will take our dealers to obtain them ?? I'm feeling the excitement again....
zbig Posted August 18, 2006 Report Posted August 18, 2006 Panda is not fantasy, I find on the seller site. But on IWC web is not shown
Richard Tracy Posted August 18, 2006 Report Posted August 18, 2006 Panda is not fantasy, I find on the seller site. But on IWC web is not shown Thanks but Too late.... I have already fallen in love the the white face... I have finally found my perfect dress chrono.... Now I can rest.....
zbig Posted August 18, 2006 Report Posted August 18, 2006 Thanks but Too late.... I have already fallen in love the the white face... I have finally found my perfect dress chrono.... Now I can rest..... me too but I don't know which to buy maybe both
PAMman Posted August 18, 2006 Report Posted August 18, 2006 The 'Panda' is certainly not a fantasy as it is currently in my local AD's window display. This is the IWC for me, especially with a Swiss 7750 fitted.
zbig Posted August 18, 2006 Report Posted August 18, 2006 (edited) But I think the dial is too shiny (like in older version navitimer subdials) and glass must be AR coating (but this is not problem, change the glass). Edited August 18, 2006 by szumi
ck986 Posted August 18, 2006 Report Posted August 18, 2006 (edited) Holy Moly, the gods have spoken. I have been waiting for this watch for ages. It is absolutely beautiful. I cant see much wrong with it. here is the panda: http://www.redfingerprint.com/watches_deta...ograph/IW371411 Edited August 18, 2006 by ck986
JWR Posted August 18, 2006 Report Posted August 18, 2006 Panda is definitely not a fantasy, Jamie Foxx wore one in Miami Vice... (black with white subdial eyes)
zbig Posted August 18, 2006 Report Posted August 18, 2006 I never had a problem with asian 7750 old and new version. I have 4-th of them, asian 7750 old: avenger chrono, 196, navitimer and new 7750B1: Daytona. I think that all problem with 7750 is by owner. Nevermind are asian or swiss.
ab2450 Posted August 18, 2006 Report Posted August 18, 2006 Has anybody bought anything from them? I was looking also at their other watches and it seems they have really excellent reps...
Richard Tracy Posted August 18, 2006 Report Posted August 18, 2006 Honpo has been around for a long while... we even have Ken a Honpo dealer in our forum... or had... I'm starting to look at the panda again... maybe I will get both... These could be the only dress watches I will ever need... the rest of my collection is geared towards sports.. so these would be a welcome edition....
Pugwash Posted August 18, 2006 Report Posted August 18, 2006 This is the gen: I want one. Has anybody bought anything from them? I was looking also at their other watches and it seems they have really excellent reps... Usually, stuff that appears on that site hits our dealers shortly after.
JWR Posted August 19, 2006 Report Posted August 19, 2006 Running seconds at six is not good... sounds like the Daytona syndrome... I thought most of the problem with the Daytonas was that all of the subdials were shifted, not just the seconds.... It will be interesting to see how this one plays out
Richard Tracy Posted August 19, 2006 Report Posted August 19, 2006 I thought most of the problem with the Daytonas was that all of the subdials were shifted, not just the seconds.... It will be interesting to see how this one plays out Also does the fact that there are only two subdials make a difference ??
archibald Posted August 19, 2006 Report Posted August 19, 2006 I thought most of the problem with the Daytonas was that all of the subdials were shifted, not just the seconds.... It will be interesting to see how this one plays out ON EDIT: Somday maybe I'll learn how to count to 30.
Guest Sql_pl Posted August 19, 2006 Report Posted August 19, 2006 I am afraid the dials may be a bit too shiny... but I still love them. I think I prefer the non-panda version... wish they could make a blue handed version of it.... like this one: Cheers!
Guest Sql_pl Posted August 19, 2006 Report Posted August 19, 2006 We know they can get the seconds @ 6:00, but how'd they get a 60 minute counter on a 7750? It's easy... they made 30 minutes subdial.. if you run it twice you get 60 minutes
ubiquitous Posted August 19, 2006 Report Posted August 19, 2006 Okay... So, what are we talking case size, then for the rep? 41mm-ish? I haven't translated it yet, but I'm assuming that's what this says... ケース41ミリ/ケース形状完璧！
ubiquitous Posted August 19, 2006 Report Posted August 19, 2006 Guess I should run this stuff through babelfish first... ケース41ミリ/ケース形状完璧！= Case 41 millimeter/case form perfection!
