ubiquitous Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 How's the 23j Asian movement performing in these watches? Any issues or complaints thus far? I'm curious to see how these fare for the long haul... And am finding myself intrigued by these... And tempted Thoughts and opinions on these watches (movements, or as a whole) are appreciated! And of course... Pics if you have them! Cheers, //ubi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hiker01 Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 Are just specific to the chrono models? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted November 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 Hike- Excluding the A7750 based chronograph models I'm looking for folks who have the model specifically with the PR indication at 12:00 and seconds at 6:00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertk Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 I have two maxi divers and they run perfectly. Of course their only one month old. These movements seem to be very reliable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfreeman420 Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 I had one just sold. Kept good time on my winder for a while. I have a chopard gtxl with the power reserve movement that works quite well and keeps good time. I wear this watch often. Only difference is the PR is @ 6:00 and date is at 3. I have to assume it is the same movement with a different configuration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hackR Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 so far so good...but i just got it from Pho a couple weeks ago...PR naturally increased while worn...secs run smooth and the watch keeps good time - but i don't have a method to nano-secondly time it... i love the look of this watch and it wears great on the ss bracelet...reminds me of a Yachtmaster on steroids...

maxman Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 I have had my Maxie for almost two months now. It keeps excellent time and it Is geting around 45 hrs of pr. This Is one smooth operator,very quiet rotor, a very nice movement Indeed. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiker01 Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 I have 2 UN with such movements, but haven't worn them that much......darn too many watches! Butr when I do, their PR indicator moves up pretty qucikly and seem to have good PR! I also got jfreeman's Black Chopard wt PR and that also seems to be alright when I wore it once! Sorry, I'm no help! I just don't know when I get around to wearing them.......and I don't ever use a winder! Hike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1976 Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 I have 3 maxi marines and they keep excellent time,the only thing that bothers me is that on my white dial blue hands the Ar got scratched very easily,other than that a watch that every collector should have.

ubiquitous Posted November 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 Thanks everyone for all your input. The movement sounds to be a strong performer; I wonder what longevity will be like, and how servicable it will be? Think I might give in and try one. At the price point these are offered at, it's hard to pass up. Thanks again! Much appreciated... R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Migge Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 I have the black one The fit, finish and quality feel is par with the UN MMD Chrono = Excellent!! The movement has kept time great so far, and I know they put a lot of effort into getting the movement reliable. Thats what kept them from releasing it for over 6 months. Only time will tell.

offshore Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 I had 3 LE the same from GZ recently, Mine is running fine although it doesn't get much wrist time. Gave one to a mate, who had probs with time keeping and PR. When opened, it was filthy......after a clean and oil and and timing, it has run like the proverbial! The 3rd one is with another mate, and I haven't heard any adverse comments. Two out of 3 ain't bad! O/S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted November 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 Lani- Funny... When I woke this morning, I was indeed thinking that nigiri sounded good. Then again, it always sounds good! Migge- That black dial looks killer! Very quality looking piece, which your photos capture well; you'd never know it was that good from dealer photos! O/S- Thanks for your insight. Based on your comments, it sounds as though servicing, etc is no problem? Thanks all for the input!

The screws are very easy to remove, at least mine were. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
