babola Posted November 18, 2010 Report Share Posted November 18, 2010 Not a big fan of Rad chronos, but this one appears to be exceptionaly well done and based on the latest A7753 mov't...the watch was most likely repped 'from the one in hand' as they say Hope they fixed the crown tube this time, it's one of the main reasons I've given up on Rad reps in the past.

Drulee Posted November 18, 2010 Report Share Posted November 18, 2010 It is hard to tell from their pics, but the sub-dials don't appear to be recessed - at least not as recessed as the gen ones are ... but I still prefer my 204Wempe handwind chrono Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You and I both know, we never get good shots of any watch until we get a QC pictorial or one of us bites the bullet and takes detailed pics of the dial!!!!

babola Posted November 20, 2010 Report Share Posted November 20, 2010 It appears Angus version with the genuine croc strap is again slightly more affordable...see the link below: Angus' PAM288 on gen croc The A7750 mov't is unfortunately the old-style from '07/'08 with rough finish and black screws. It's probably the main reason behind a sub $300 pricing. Should be reliable enough, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxman Posted November 20, 2010 Report Share Posted November 20, 2010 This Is one of my favorite Pams. I hope the sub dials are as resessed as the gens or least close enough. The movement Is a good one and the ff dosent bother me because there's no exibition case back.I cant wait to see a review of this one,really excited.

babola Posted November 21, 2010 Report Share Posted November 21, 2010 The movement Is a good one... Is it really? I wish I can be as sure as you are, mate. That said, with a little 'lube and oil' service it should last quite a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I don't know that you NEVER get a good shot. You can tell from DSN's pics usually, and some of the other dealers. But then again, you overlooked the part where I pointed out that from these it was indeed "hard to tell". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, with a little 'lube and oil' service it should last quite a while. I have about ten reps with this movement and only one has been serviced. So far they have been excellent timkeepers for me,thats just been my experence, so I feel pretty comfortable about this movement. This looks to be a really nice rep,would like to get one Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeteM Posted November 21, 2010 Report Share Posted November 21, 2010 Come on dude,we are talking about reps here,not a cure for cancer or world hunger,chill Actually if you look in the options drop down box on J's site, those extras are available for $85 and $125.

StormTooper4 Posted November 21, 2010 Report Share Posted November 21, 2010 Some of us clearly like this watch others are critical of its lack of perfection. The fact that the older venus ST19 rad chronos never sold that well makes me all the more surprised they've made this. I agree the 7750's are genrally robust regardless of version and given this is less than 300 its pretty good value. Wish I had kept my 204 wempe. I got it dirt cheap from Josh with Free postage those were the days hey? I like this watch I wish I had the funds to indulge but alas the ST4 coffers at at all time low and there are some others on the list before this one gets a look in. What's the major difference between this and the other Rad Auto chrono that's on offer. What are the thoughts on the 140$ gen croc strap? That buckle is pretty special you have to admit regardless os you subdial feelings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
