Jkay Posted July 1, 2011 Report Share Posted July 1, 2011 And it's beautiful, btw ... what is the blue stick tool for? What's that rotary nut protrusion on the left side of the watch case?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prdubis Posted July 1, 2011 Report Share Posted July 1, 2011 It's the tool to set the date... Date is not set by the crown on 7753 but by a pusher on the left side of the case... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txcollector Posted July 1, 2011 Report Share Posted July 1, 2011 the quick date set and the chrono pushers have to be screw in to be water tight in the gen. You need that tool to screw in and out the quick date set button. That's why the inside of that button is hex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jkay Posted July 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2011 Thanks! I was wondering about the hex pattern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

txcollector Posted July 1, 2011 Report Share Posted July 1, 2011 the watch is very impressive on your wrist but it's only for those that like big watches like the Ploprof and the Grahams, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aeon Posted July 1, 2011 Report Share Posted July 1, 2011 (edited) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GiTWg_X6R-M&feature=player_embedded Did you leave the sound on the entire video? I wonder if shes singing about the curves of a monster? It's an intimidating watch I'm really liking rubber straps recently. cheers Edited July 1, 2011 by Aeon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chad Posted July 2, 2011 Report Share Posted July 2, 2011 Way too yellow lume. The H factory watches are too green and too yellow respectively on the lume. Sure it is better than previously offerings but I wore my gen yesterday and switched back to a 26k. It is painfully noticeably. I just do not get it. Over 5 years and they still cannot get color right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted July 2, 2011 Report Share Posted July 2, 2011 Thanks! I was wondering about the hex pattern. Adds to the whole massive deep diver look. Also makes it easy to plug in the hex tool to free the date set button. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf Posted July 2, 2011 Report Share Posted July 2, 2011 Way too yellow lume. The H factory watches are too green and too yellow respectively on the lume. Sure it is better than previously offerings but I wore my gen yesterday and switched back to a 26k. It is painfully noticeably. I just do not get it. Over 5 years and they still cannot get color right. I agree, but I don't think its that horribly noticeable. I put my gen 111K up next to the rep 26k and I can see the difference but the 26k (and my new 292) only seems like a tiny bit greener. And if you are outside in the sun, you cannot tell the difference. I'd rather have great lume with the color slightly off than bad lume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteM Posted July 2, 2011 Report Share Posted July 2, 2011 +1 on the variations of lume... Personally the only one I have had in my hand that I rate above the rest is the 288... Given its always worth getting any new movement serviced and I always would its no bigger effort to get the lume redone and CP... given the CP shape can also be seen easily in certain light reflections.. As an aside... I was chatting with a guy I didnt know, who was wearing a latest version A7753 250 the other day..... I have to say the lume was a real give away when he held it out to show me, I think he knew I had spotted it as rep because he pulled it away sharply and tucked it under his jumper nonchalantly after that and stopped moving his arm about... I reckon it was one of the second versions which had the poorer lume and silvered subdial hands... Funnily enough the other thing that really caught my eye was the rep alligator strap.... the sandwich edging really seemed obvious compared to the turned edge of the gen...... First time I had seen one on somebody elses wrist... and no I didnt call him out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
