baltic Posted February 11, 2010 Report Posted February 11, 2010 Haven't visited here for a while so I was just wondering what the availability of 7753 powered chronographs is these days - 196, 188 etc? Ta in advance...
kbiz Posted February 11, 2010 Report Posted February 11, 2010 Discontinued long time ago brother... I should have bought one back in the day when they were like 800...
unregistered Posted February 12, 2010 Report Posted February 12, 2010 Hold off. Got confirmed news that the asian version of the 7753 is due to make its debut post CNY. The 187 was being offered to a friend with the new movement. Obviously it needs to be taken apart and reliability reviewed, but its a good piece of news.
Watchmeister Posted February 12, 2010 Report Posted February 12, 2010 Can't wait to see the Asian version of the 7753. I haven't owned a 187 in years but I have been getting a hankering.
Jimster Posted February 12, 2010 Report Posted February 12, 2010 It will be interesting to see if they solve the date issue.
baltic Posted February 12, 2010 Author Report Posted February 12, 2010 (edited) Discontinued long time ago brother... I should have bought one back in the day when they were like 800... Thanks, with the rumoured appearance of an Asian 7753 looks like a Swiss 7753 watch should command a premium Do they come up in FS often? Edited February 12, 2010 by baltic
unregistered Posted February 12, 2010 Report Posted February 12, 2010 Well it depends on how you see it. There arn't any Asian 7753s so the swiss 7753s should command a high premium since they are the only ones that won't have the sunken date wheel issue. However, with the asian 7753 appearing, will people still put such a high premium for 7753s? Only the marketplace and time will tell.

kbiz Posted February 13, 2010 Report Posted February 13, 2010 if they're rumored now that means it should only be another year and a half hopefully they fix the bezel markers on the 187 while they're at it...
baltic Posted February 13, 2010 Author Report Posted February 13, 2010 Discontinued long time ago brother... I should have bought one back in the day when they were like 800... Forgot to ask in my earlier reply, what do they go for now? New or second hand? ta.
unregistered Posted February 14, 2010 Report Posted February 14, 2010 if they're rumored now that means it should only be another year and a half hopefully they fix the bezel markers on the 187 while they're at it... haha, who knows. It was offered to a mate ready to be shipped out.
kbiz Posted February 15, 2010 Report Posted February 15, 2010 I gotta play devil's advocate otherwise if I get excited about it I'll jinx everyone
