txcollector Posted April 5, 2010 Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 Folks, with my crystals coming at any time I started thinking what other HBB model I would like to own and I'm pretty set on the Tempus now. There are 2 options out there High beat - Wrong caseback, wrong gold color 2, completely wrong movement - expensive Low beat - Still wrong caseback but easier to mod, wrong gold color 2, wrong date wheel color, wrong movement - less expensive Here are the mods I'm considering: - Gen ETA 7750 with silver screws - Re-platting 2 with right gold color - Fix DW if low beat (I have a replacement black on white that I can use to match the dial color) The price difference is around $200 for those 2 models. So the question is, considering I will get a gen ETA would it matter which one I get? Or should I just scrape this project and go with the Full Black Ceramic?

txcollector Posted April 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 BTW when are those crystals due in? The lab told me beginning of Apr. So I sent them an email on 01/04 and I'm still waiting for the reply. It should be almost done (I'm running impatient as well). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't seen a good comparison thread yet. The Tempus is a very limited run (only 50) so it's unlikely anyone will see a gen around. I have a tendency to get limited editions.

deniz21 Posted April 5, 2010 Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 mee too but the overall look is very nice, and with the correct date it a great watch imho, it seems that they also correctet the date on the tempus too but is this the correct case back for the tempus? cause its a limited model right? is this wrong then? the all black limited edition on the side has the same one. man this HBB are realy confusing http://www.perfect-hour.com/hbfc10006-bang-black-ceramic-hour-glass-tempus-a7750-28800-p-6604.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
