Finepics Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 What do you guys think of the modified 7750 in this watch? The only dial that is modified is the seconds dial. The min subdial is in the correct position. The new 7750 should be able to handle the added stress of only the sub seconds. What do you all think. I very much doubt this is a problem at all. I would think there is a simple arrangement of transfer gears to move the running seconds (something like the gears that make a 7750 into a 7753), provided they have jewelled bearings and are properly lubricated.

ryaku Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 The Rep has recessed subdials same as the gen.. take a look at the silver-white dialed model to see it more clearly.... I'm sorry but i can't see any concentric circle in replica pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ck986 Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 It looks like the black panda dials have the concentric circles, the silver one does not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archibald Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 It looks like the black panda dials have the concentric circles, the silver one does not. Anyone know what the non-panda/silver metal/blue hands gen is made out of--white gold, i assume? That's the one they should have repped if they couldn't plate with rose gold. Anyway--as far as the gold and subdial swirls go, who's going to call you out on a IWC? IWC's are like panerai's IMO--the only people who know what they hell they are are never going to be fooled by a rep anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IWC's are like panerai's IMO--the only people who know what they hell they are are never going to be fooled by a rep anyway. i'll go one step further... even those who know what they are, also know that there have been so many special series of limited editions which have minor differences, that they would be unable to make a judgment on the watch from a visual spot check. usually its the 'total picture' that is the telltale sign... is the watch on a $500 croc strap or something that looks like it came from kmart... is the guy wearing it also sporting a beer belly and tatoo or wearing an armani suit... you get the picture.

Richard Tracy Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 I'm sorry but i can't see any concentric circle in replica pics. Sorry,.. I mis-read, thinking recessed subs... I think we can see them in the Panda, which should mean they are there in both.. If not, to me it's no big deal.. as I have a 212 Swiss that has them, but I can only see them in very special light...with a lot of squinting.... I am feeling very optimistic about this rep.... I hope it lives up to the expectations.....Few have,.. but those that do become our beloved replica classics.... Where is that Price War ??

ck986 Posted August 21, 2006 Report Share Posted August 21, 2006 Is the Gen strap Croc or Alligator? Does anyone know of a good place to pick one up? Or does anyone know the OEM price? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryaku Posted August 21, 2006 Report Share Posted August 21, 2006 I wonder if a gen dial fits I was wondering the same. There're a couple of gen dials on ebay. I'm afraid grey tone is clearly different in genuine dials and contrast beetween dial and external ring would be evident. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fletch512 Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 Here's the main difference that I can spot between the gen and rep versions. And, since no one has mentioned it, maybe it's not that big of a deal. The external ring on the gen has three small markers between the longer markers, so that the space between 5 and 10 (10 and 15, 15 and 20...) is divided into 20 segments. On the rep, there are four small markers between the longer markers. Thus, the space between 5 and 10 is divided into 25 segments. I don't think anyone would spot this flaw unless they have been comparing picks for half an hour like I have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicknoh Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 It's missing the bent chrono hand as well... strangely the GST reps seem to have this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
