Cobra Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 Curious if anyone is familiar with a source for good chrono colt replicas? Checked one out at an AD and really liked the look and feel of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andreww Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 (edited) There is only one rep of the chrono Colt available, most dealers have it. Try Josh or Andrew's sites. I will warn you that although its a fairly nice watch, it is very far from a super rep. Edited May 31, 2011 by andreww Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra Posted June 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 May I ask what Breitling reps are available that you would categorize as a "super rep"? I am trying to decide between a Breitling, Omega Seamaster and IWC Big Pilot to wear as an everyday sport watch. Any "super reps" available of these last 2 I listed? I am a little put off by the problems I have read about with the 7750 movements (re: being careful setting time and using chrono to not strip gears) so one that uses a different movement would probably be preferred by me.

andreww Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 I believe the 7750 is as solid as any of the other asian movements. Any precautions you need to take when setting the date apply to all mechanical movements, not just the 7750. If you still want to avoid it, look at the Avenger, Superocean Steelfish, or the Superocean Heritage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sneed12 Posted June 5, 2011 Report Share Posted June 5, 2011 May I ask what Breitling reps are available that you would categorize as a "super rep"? I am trying to decide between a Breitling, Omega Seamaster and IWC Big Pilot to wear as an everyday sport watch. Any "super reps" available of these last 2 I listed? Most Omega or Breitling (sport watch) reps will be more accurate than the Big Pilot rep (since the IWC uses an in-house movement). Although there are some very, very nice 5002/5004 BPs out there, all of them have either wrong power reserve subdial placement or non-functioning PR. If you don't want to trust a mechanical chrono, there are a ton of ETA 28xx based reps in both brands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
