lhooq Posted November 25, 2010 Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 I was in Osaka last week and picked up an issue of this magazine, WatchFan. I can't read a single word, but... Ooh, pretty pictures! I bought this magazine, because one of its first articles was about the cartel's 7750-powered Daytona and Pre-Daytona reps. The pictures below link to larger scans. Is anyone here literate in the language, and would like to take a crack at summing up what they're saying about these reps? What's Japanese for "Take that [censored] off your wrist?"

Justasgood Posted November 25, 2010 Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 It translates to: "All your base belongs to us" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted November 25, 2010 Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 I cannot translate these pages, but I am sure the basic theme of the article is the usual warning to gen buyers that reps are getting better making it easier for buyers to get taken.

Ronin Posted November 25, 2010 Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 Freddy333 is correct. Although Japanese is a 2nd language I know, I can only make out the Hirigana/Katakana. My Kanji is too rusty. It actually reads a lot like an updated version of Brozek's "The Rolex Report", from what I can make out. Edit to add: The Japanese are in love with the Daytona. It is perhaps the "grail" watch of most Japanese businessmen. I had a run in with a Japanese waitress while wearing my Black Widow Daytona Rep at a Sushi bar. I doubt it was my charming personality, but she wouldn't leave me alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lhooq Posted November 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2010 Thanks for the input, guys. I was wondering if there was any new info contained in those pages, but it sounds like it's old knowledge from the forums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
praetor Posted November 26, 2010 Report Share Posted November 26, 2010 you know what I find peculiar.... There's a 7750 movement in the 6238 page in one of the daytonas...It's like they're suggesting that the 6238 is a rep... 0_o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 6238 on the left (and at the bottom of paired photos) is a rep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronin Posted November 26, 2010 Report Share Posted November 26, 2010 Freddy333, is your far right 6265 a V72 or 7750? Looking at the spacing I would say DW 7750???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted November 26, 2010 Report Share Posted November 26, 2010 7750 & 1 of DW's better dials. Only the Newman is Valjoux-powered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
