cougaree Posted March 19, 2011 Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 I like these two, but don't know their quality differences. I know one has black dial and the other has black carbon fiber. In the photo, it seems to me the AR is better on the carbon fiber model, but I'm not sure this is the case in real life. http://www.asian7750.com/cn/pic_show.asp?u=0&pic=FR009b/FR009b1.jpg http://www.asian7750.com/cn/pic_show.asp?u=0&pic=FR003b/FR003b1.jpg I also like the simplicity and date on this one. http://www.asian7750.com/cn/pic_show.asp?u=0&pic=FR007b/FR007b1.jpg Any thoughts guys? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jchurch Posted March 19, 2011 Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 I have the flyback and it is wonderful. Only real item I would change is the AR I have seen them with recoated crystals and they look amazing. With these pams you don't have the issues of crown guards or dial printing like the others. With one of those you might have an issue with date font, I don't know as much about those though. Same watch with the rubber strap included with the watch when I bought it.

cougaree Posted March 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 Man, that's beautiful! I think you've got me sold on this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jchurch Posted March 20, 2011 Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 They are great and if you search for them (can't recall if it was here or the geek) you will find some that have had the crystal done by chief or others. Those are the ones that really sell the carbon fiber dial. If you see one of those photos you will be on board LOL. I know I am all about it but I want to just do everything when I send it off for that operation like relume the hands lol. If you are looking at one I believe they are on par with some of the higher end replicas and it would be hard to go wrong with one of them. I am sure you know this part but if you didn't the flyback isn't really a flyback lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cougaree Posted March 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 Man, it's so nice! AR will make a huge difference! By the way, thanks for the pictures! Really appreciate it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cougaree Posted March 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 What do you think fr00011? The yellow dial looks pretty nice. http://www.asian7750.com/cn/product_show.asp?big_pid=&ps_id=117&P_id=615&ti= Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jchurch Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 Looks like some of the photos are from different watches. I don't know how close it is to gen though. Get one that you feel you would like wearing and go with it. Mine is super noisy but I believe that is just how the A7750 is lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cougaree Posted March 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 How is the screw down crown on yours? Is it smooth? Does the crown tube have adquate amount of threads? Does the crown screw down evenly? What is the weakness do you see on this watch other than noisy rotor? Thanks bud! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jchurch Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 I had mine serviced and it need some new part I don't recall what it was that was replaced. Anyhow the issues that were pointed out were that the dial and hands didn't like up exactly like they should however it isn't noticeable and I would imagine that it would depend on the dial and watch combo just tolerances and all. The screw down crown is decent it isn't like the SOSF I have. It is smooth but it doesn't turn a few times or anything like that. To screw it down I line up the dot on the crown and push it in and make a quarter turn. That is it and it lines up perfect each time I don't know what they do with it to make it happen but it just does lol. I don't know much about water tight I keep everything I have away from the water... Yes even my casio pathfinder lol. I wear my watches while washing my hands (I do it several times a day) but that is as close as any of them ever get to water. No problems with any of the watches I have with that sort of treatment. No real problems or anything I have with mine. The changes I would do and plan on doing are the AR coating, and lume of the hands or genuine hands. Those are the only real changes I would make with mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cougaree Posted March 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 Sweet! Thanks for the fantastic review! I don't have to worry about the crown then. AR would make this watch look really nice! I don't put any of my watches near water neither, so I'm good there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick2T Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 I have a Fer008. The looks and the weight is superbe! If I remember it correctly it has been choosen as best rep of à certain year! Don't know wich year exactly! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jchurch Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 Yeah no problems with my crown here... I haven't read about any problems with them either. But get a strap the replica straps aren't any fun lol mine is a taikonaut strap. If you wanted the one I have on mine it's here. I toyed with the idea of getting one of these or these. I use the replica rubber with the deployment though when I am not feeling the suede strap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cougaree Posted March 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 The carbon fiber would look really nice on your watch. It will match your dial. As for me, I'm planning on asking our forum member blackbard to build me one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sul Posted April 4, 2011 Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 (edited) Do you have Ferrari in your garage? Yellow dial PAM-Ferrari is one of my favorite. Don`t know only how close is dial color, rep vs. gen dial. Edited April 4, 2011 by sul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cougaree Posted April 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 Not sure about the yellow neither, but on this watch I can care less as long as the watch built is decent, which I think it is. We'll see. Can't wait to get it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StormTooper4 Posted April 4, 2011 Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 That's a cracker for sure and I'm sure you'll get asked about it a lot and be on the receiving end of some envious glances So the black subdials sit on or in the dial? Either way it looks great ST4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cougaree Posted April 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 Thanks! Not sure if the sub dials are sit on or in the dial. I think sit on is more likely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StormTooper4 Posted April 18, 2011 Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 How about a wrist shot? Are you pleased with it? I've seen a few yellow Chronos recently they have all looked rather special. Wear it well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
