geo1nah2a Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 It looks like the Porsche flat6, has the same caliber but costs less than a tenth of it. It is leather clad too! Couldn't care less for the design and the plastic case: for 380 (SRP) use the tuned, oiled, and guaranteed swiss 7750 found in it to power your favorite REP Look at the caliber peeking out of the open back, waiting for you to give it a worthy house. http://www.swatch.co...oautomatic.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slooowr6 Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 And it's got a sapphire crystal! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FxrAndy Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 what i see of the rotor and balance c0ck it does not look like a 7750 but if the stem height and subdials are the same then we have something here, In Germany a new swiss 7750 costs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nikki6 Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 Lol, I wondered how long it would take for the 'Great Swatch Auto debate!!' They have been pushing it pretty hard on TV in the UK recently. If I'm not mistaken, we get an awful lot of our Rep movements from Swatch already! BK put out a message for the latest WM9 DSSD and how we needed to put more money upfront to pay for the movements from Swatch as the prices have gone up on them. I guess now we know why huh?!

ubiquitous Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 That 60 second subdial looks a little too close to the center stack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

z3k0 Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 Wow, so it's basically half-plastic cut-down 7750 ... how in the world did they manage to get functioning chrono with such few parts regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demsey Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 Word around it's more of the Lemania tri-compax lineage with auto-wind, but before anyone has designs of popping them into rep 6263's with DW dials, I think Ubi is onto the 'fail-safe' of the design with regard to 'replica'. The chrono pinions won't fit for correct subdial spacing, especially considering the totalisor @ 6. <edit> "6263's with DW dials", well duh, 12,9,3 layout, so latterday rep Speedmasters et al............then <post edit> However this Tissot Chronosport with similar ETA A08.231 looks a more traditional 12,9,6 layout? Hmmmmm.......... <post post edit> Here is a full frontal of the Swatch piece; It may have been the parallax view in 'geo' 's photo that made the @6 pinion look closer to the main? Could be off fractionally to the 7750? Wouldn't surprise................... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geo1nah2a Posted October 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 I stand corrected. It looks more like a lemania 5100 : And it is a lot thinner than the 7750 (6.1 vs 7.9mm). BTW I do like that black swatch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Packard Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 Wow, so it's basically half-plastic cut-down 7750 ... how in the world did they manage to get functioning chrono with such few parts regards Nikon and Canon were widely derided when they started offering cameras with resin chassis. But these cameras have stood up well and are highly functional. They feel cheap because they are so light. I suspect that this watch will feel the same. The injection molded chassis will not require any secondary machining, a huge labor savings. I doubt it will prove functionally deficient.

Packard Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 What movement is Swatch using here: http://www.amazon.com/Swatch-Irony-Automatic-Watch-YAS100G/dp/B000MLNUBI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=watches&qid=1256907761&sr=1-1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andreww Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 definitely not 7750. The 6:00 sub totalizer is only 6 hours, 7750s are 12 hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modelizer Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 Well, too bad this wasn't another option to go Swiss instead of Asian when it comes to the 7750 reps.. Thanks for clarifying this gents! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
