801run Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 Regarding this new QC test procedure by Josh which is indeed great. Why didn't he supply pictures from the waterproof testing? According to his QC examples there will also be pics of your watch from w/p testing. Does this indicate that this REP in fact did not pass that test since he left these pictures out? ... =( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prdubis Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 Rep chronos are not waterproof... About caseback and serial number, I fear it will be wrong for the 250... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickey Padge Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 Rep chronos are not waterproof... About caseback and serial number, I fear it will be wrong for the 250... Isn't the 250 just the same as the 236, but worn with a strap not the steel bracelet? If the answer is yes, then there is no problem surely? You have a 236 but decided to wear it on a strap instead.... Unless I'm being silly and missed something obvious! (quite likely ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drulee Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 wrong, my 196 was waterproof. tested with Leak-Checker-2000. rolli Did you do the waterproofing yourself, or did it come that way from the rep dealer? Or are you talking about a gen 196 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rolli Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 no.. my rep 196 , tested by my watchmaker with this leak-checker machine. the both pushers have gaskets inside. my watchmaker tested all my pams. also my 024A and 205A, see enclosed images. rolli Did you do the waterproofing yourself, or did it come that way from the rep dealer?

Guest Sql_pl Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 Nice to see qc seems to work but knowing that one of the flaws of this rep is a cg lever that sticks out a bit iit is funny to see most pics from qc are cropped not to show the lever. Great rep anyway, will order one too, hope the bezel is tall and still wait for 196. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great rep anyway, will order one too, hope the bezel is tall and still wait for 196. should be an easy fix, just heat it up a tiny bit and bend it with a pir of pliers. it only needs to move like .5 mm im not sure it will bother me enough to do anythingg about it. im ordering one too, repmakers should be rewarded Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 If it makes you feel any better plenty of gens have the same cg issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nebakanezzar Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 is the bracelet tapered like the gen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickey Padge Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 If it makes you feel any better plenty of gens have the same cg issue. I think some folks dissect these reps a little too much! I used to be the same, but have relaxed a great deal about the little things, only cosmetic flaws still bug me, dust, marks, dirty fingerprints and what not.....

801run Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 I'm trying to find decent wrist shots of any of these PAMs (older rep versions or gens or whatever) to see how big they wear but I'm unable to find any =/ .. any hints?

hackR Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 i may have missed this, but does anyone know if the a7753 196 will have flat subdials or recessed?... boy, this really hurts the market for those that have the sought after old case chronos...

sander Posted September 15, 2010 Report Share Posted September 15, 2010 YUp I think it's actally J and up that recieved the new strap deployment system and no grooves in the lugs My Gen Auto's a gen 297L and Gen 296K have no lug grooves. These lugs are spot on! this watch is cosmetically perfect to the gen. Shocking! My be the most accurate non -Franken rep ever produced. Very excited!! I do however expect to need a relume as a lume nit-picker as well as I imagine a lever pin gorilla glue fix The biggest issue I have with it are the missing silver hand tubes for the chrono hands. Great watch though. I might be getting it and put my gen 7753 in it. Anyone interested in an A7753? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
