seraphe Posted September 29, 2010 Report Posted September 29, 2010 Daylight from Andrew (Trusty) came through! With all the hype over this new version with A7753 movement, I was aesthetically more concern about the visual imperfections than the movement itself. I wrote to Andrew about my concerns and he assured me my order will be thoroughly checked, coupled with QC pics for my final approval, before sending. And so it did come through... without all the common complains in other earlier posts of their new A7753 Daylights. CG lever almost flushed to the curve of the CGCG lever not chopped on the sidesCG pin flushed to the CG top side The only imperfection, I would say, is only on the bracelet... especially on the end links and the gap between the case and the link... but not a major issue. I can live with it.
babola Posted September 29, 2010 Report Posted September 29, 2010 I agree, these new Daylights look very gen-ish
AmStaFF Posted September 29, 2010 Report Posted September 29, 2010 looks good buddy i hope my 236 comes end of the week from Andrew
Watchmeister Posted September 29, 2010 Report Posted September 29, 2010 Looks great. With all the pics from folks I am beginning to get a sense just how good these watches are. Wear this one well.
ubiquitous Posted September 29, 2010 Report Posted September 29, 2010 looks great man!! Did you get yours' yet?
PeteM Posted September 29, 2010 Report Posted September 29, 2010 I really cant understand what the big deal is with these new version reps...???
asf Posted September 29, 2010 Report Posted September 29, 2010 Did you get yours' yet? Yeah man! It's great, albeit heavy
seraphe Posted September 29, 2010 Author Report Posted September 29, 2010 I really cant understand what the big deal is with these new version reps...??? I can't understand either, but it looks damn good
Drulee Posted September 30, 2010 Report Posted September 30, 2010 I really cant understand what the big deal is with these new version reps...??? Really?
PolonusTM Posted September 30, 2010 Report Posted September 30, 2010 (edited) I really cant understand what the big deal is with these new version reps...??? After having several reps this one gives me "feels like a gen" smile all the time... it is so good My hand is bigger than Seraphe's one so these photos are for "236 on thicker wrist" look Edited September 30, 2010 by PolonusTM
PeteM Posted September 30, 2010 Report Posted September 30, 2010 Really? I had hoped for a bite, but I will settle for a nibble
Whatever123 Posted September 30, 2010 Report Posted September 30, 2010 The watch looks great, as stated before it's a very good rep indeed... but that endlink fitting looks ridiculous... that gap is HUGE! Are the bracelets all like that?
PolonusTM Posted September 30, 2010 Report Posted September 30, 2010 (edited) Endling fitting isn't bad - it is more a problem of lighting than real problem of a gap. The endlink is usually shown under the shadow of vertical surface of the case (which is not flat but rounded one). I have tried to make a closeup to show this: Edited September 30, 2010 by PolonusTM

chinsk Posted October 1, 2010 Report Posted October 1, 2010 very nice.. just ordered one from Andrew myself. Will replace the Tag Cal 16 as my daily beater.
Whatever123 Posted October 1, 2010 Report Posted October 1, 2010 Yeah, OK - the endlink fitting looks much better on the new pic. Strange effect in your fist pics...
mossanti Posted October 1, 2010 Report Posted October 1, 2010 They look like definitely! So what is the most complain thing about this watch ? Is the gen came with purpleish AR coating ? is the movement really swiss7753 or only a replica of it ?
babola Posted October 1, 2010 Report Posted October 1, 2010 is the movement really swiss7753 or only a replica of it ? Moggio mate...have you been hiding under the rock all this time or underground chasing those wombats inside their burrows Yup mate, these are very real and exceptionally well made. The A/R is a tad on a pinkish side compared to gen, but very close as well. Unfortunately these don't come with ETA7753, instead they house a new breed A7753 mov'ts. Get yourself one...you won't regret it, I promise cheers, your mate from across the ditch
PeteM Posted October 1, 2010 Report Posted October 1, 2010 ................... or underground chasing those wombats inside their burrows If that were true then you would of seen him
luibaka Posted October 1, 2010 Report Posted October 1, 2010 damn, i thought i will take 196 only but now i realize that i will have to buy 236 too
OSRep Posted October 1, 2010 Report Posted October 1, 2010 Congrats Seraphe. Looks gorgeous and well made....again, its a mass produced rep so its not going to be perfect, but its good enough Im definitely going to be getting one....... Regards
babola Posted October 1, 2010 Report Posted October 1, 2010 If that were true then you would of seen him I thought I was slightly better looking...
mossanti Posted October 1, 2010 Report Posted October 1, 2010 Yeah man.. I chase the wombat a few times now while hiding underground under bush fire bunker! there are no internet services there.. now i know chinese people already getting ahead with ETA 7753. Hows your collection with PAM ?? getting bigger ? LOL ..do you own one of this pam 236 ? Looks good.. I did throw away my 196 last 2 years..maybe this is the next level.
