Mickey Padge Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 First thing I should say is thanks very much to member Bll, for an excellent trade I just received this sweet genuine Genuine Concord Saratoga chronograph, and what a great watch! Very comfortable bracelet, and a small thin case, which is really nice for an automatic chronograph, thanks to the ETA2894 powering the watch, which is smaller than the ETA/Asian 7750's I am used too. Seconds running at three too, with a flush date wheel and superlumed dial/hands. Also it has a display back showing off the decorated movement Here are some pictures, keep clicking to expand: It's nice to have a genuine watch back in my collection, sometimes it is easy to forget the slightly better fit and finish the gen watches have, but it also reminds me of how fantastic some of out rep are, this hobby has come a long way in the last few years.... Comments and observations welcome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slickdick Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 Nice watch, and when you get tired of it, you can build yourself a nice AP franken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickey Padge Posted September 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 Nice watch, and when you get tired of it, you can build yourself a nice AP franken. Thanks slickdick! Interesting thought, but I really don't think I could ever break this watch up! I always wanted a slim, wrist hugging chronograph, in fact way back in the day, that was what got me interested in watches, looking for a thin case chrono. In the end I settled on an ETA 7750 based watch (sold it since), but this Concord is smaller and thinner than that old watch by a considerable margin!

I know how you feel, it is a shame to butcher perfect genuine watch. I got 2 ebel's with primero movements for my daytona project, but can't get it over my heart to tear them appart. Anyways, wear it well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mickey Padge Posted September 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 Slickdick I would love to see some pictures of your Ebel's, have you posted any? I have always wanted an el primero based watch, but the price is kinda out of reach for me..... Neverworn, I thought it wore small, guess I have been used to my Omega SMP and Breitling reps.....

bosk Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 To tear apart a fine watch for an AP franken with an incorrect case size would be a shame. The concord looks great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickey Padge Posted September 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 Thanks bosk, and don't worry, this Concord will not be dissected for such a project, I like the watch too much for that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
