Guest Sql_pl Posted September 21, 2006 Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 Just found it on Perfect Clones With this new dial and now that they finished it in satin it is extremely close! Since it has a standard 7750 layout there is no problem with sunken date.... COOL! There is only a Messerschmitt flaw left. Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest chronomat123 Posted September 21, 2006 Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 Yea I did this to my Navi months ago big deal LOL... j/k Looks real good. But I just posted the same watch (Asian 7750) in the RWG Sales Board for $149 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By-Tor Posted September 21, 2006 Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 Very cool. Good looking subdials and date font too. Wonder if our feedback had anything to do with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovepanerai Posted September 21, 2006 Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 and the very annoying wrong color of the inner bezel ring - it is supposed to be silver and not white. If you see the original you'll see what I mean... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r11co Posted September 21, 2006 Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 (edited) Good looking subdials and date font too. I was thinking that too. Very good use of the standard ETA datewheel. Why can't they fit that to the TAG Link chrono reps I wonder..... and the very annoying wrong color of the inner bezel ring - it is supposed to be silver and not white. If you see the original you'll see what I mean... You are absolutely correct. The inner bezel should have a pearlescent shimmer to it. The cheap quartz Navi I bought from TTK was more accurate than this new one in that respect. Edited September 21, 2006 by r11co Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rek001 Posted September 21, 2006 Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 Very nice looking, with swiss movement but geez - $888? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovepanerai Posted September 21, 2006 Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 I have just bought a swiss 7750 movement for a little over $200! For $888 as offered by Joshua I could have The Zigmeister brush a Asian 7750 version, fit the swiss movement, fully service the movement, which should not even be required, get it relumed and have a real AR coating applied and I would still come out lower than $888 For that money I would consider buying a used Navitimer... After all we are talking about a $4k watch here and used you can get one for a little over $2k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sql_pl Posted September 21, 2006 Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 888??? Crazy! For 888 they should be able to spell Messerschmitt! Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Sql_pl Posted September 21, 2006 Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 Well I actually HAVE to have this watch. Hope there will be an asian 7750 brushed one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By-Tor Posted September 22, 2006 Report Share Posted September 22, 2006 After all we are talking about a $4k watch here and used you can get one for a little over $2k Actually I've seen used Navitimers for a bit over $1K. If you consider that these will probably show up with the new Asian 7750 for $200 at some point in the future (River sells the TAG Link Chrono rep for $179 including shipping right now)... it means that you're paying more than $600 extra for the Swiss movement (with zero guarantee). Genuine TAGs with similar movement can be bought at those prices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomasng Posted September 22, 2006 Report Share Posted September 22, 2006 $900 for this rep is EXPENSIVE....... A nice preowned genuine would cost maybe $1400 or $1500, or even less. And good luck trying to sell the replica off when you don't want it, you'll take a huge loss, while if you go the genuine way, you'll recover most of your investment, and maybe even make money!

coolfire Posted September 22, 2006 Report Share Posted September 22, 2006 i'm sure an asian 7750 version will come out real soon... if we're all patient... and i agree, 888 is a little bit too much TBH... may drop soon too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After all we are talking about a $4k watch here and used you can get one for a little over $2k Where did you get a Swiss ETA 7750 for $200????? I would love to stock up on several as I now have 3 replica chronos in 12,6,9 original configuration and I want to have genuine movements in reserve for when they quit. The best price I have been able to find is Orfei and they are $300-$350 clockspares.com is off the charts at about $500 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trustywatchguy Posted September 22, 2006 Report Share Posted September 22, 2006 Well, guys... Learn to appreciate... Joshua's Navitimers are CUSTOM MADE and River or any other dealers will never have one BRUSHED and with SWISS 7750. All these work is TOP NOTCH. Every single link is BRUSHED and all these work is PIECE of ART. USD888 is already a great price. Swiss 7750 movement is a much controlled movement in the market now. Thanks!

kanerich Posted September 22, 2006 Report Share Posted September 22, 2006 Since it has a standard 7750 layout there is no problem with sunken date.... COOL! There never was a sunken date problem with this particular rep, Asian or Swiss. The date font does look a lot better though, and the dial appears to have the proper beveling around the date window which looks nice. The old Asian 7750 Navi fighters rep (which I have) don't have this detail, which makes them look a bit cheap. I don't know if there's a big market at this pricing but I think it's always admirable when a dealer tries to put out the best possible product. If Honpo can sell out a $750 watch with an Asian 7750 (the old 187) I certainly think there's room for a Swiss 7750 rep for a bit more.

The Red Baron Posted June 29, 2007 Report Share Posted June 29, 2007 *Bump* Anyone get one of these. I see these posts are almost a year old and am wondering if anyone got one and how its running? I see the price is still $888 though, but I may go for it, if it would be possible to get perhaps 2 more links brushed and added on (I have 8" wrist and have read they're tight) Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
