prdubis Posted July 28, 2011 Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 Hi there, I have received yesterday my A7753 PAM187 and I can say the caseset, caseback and bezel have really been improved compared to the swiss 7753 version. Bezel clicks are not really gen like to be franck, and it will maybe needed to perform the famous dental floss mod The pics: Gen: Swiss 7753: A7753: As you can see, the dial from this latest release is really spot on to gen. The swiss 7753 one has been relumed by The Zigmeister and for me lume color is perfect, the bezel pearl is much better too, but the 1000 printing is just too dark, it should be more electric blue. So for me, the A7753 dial is better but will need to be relumed to be perfect. It's unfortunately impossible to swap the movements, as the date position is not the same on the asian 7753. I will try to swap hands, but I don't know if it's possible, anyone knows? More pics: A7753 vs Gen: About the rubber strap and buckle: The strap is not as soft as my 305 gen one, and really not as comfortable to wear. The watch is really heavy and it will need a good and soft leather strap, or maybe a nylon strap. The buckle is great, with nice engravings. Lume: It's not bad at all, and it is quite accurate for a tritum dial. Bezel pearl is wrong, too domed, it should be flat. Gen luming is two tone, as I already said in one of my previous threads. Dial markers are tritum, whereas hands are superLuminova. That's wrong on the asian 7753 version. Again, The Zigmeister's work on my swiss 7753 version is perfect... The Zigmeister's: A7753: Thanks for viewing! And now, going to the beach!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prdubis Posted July 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 Another precision: Gen and swiss version have concentric circles on the subdials, as you can see on the pics... The A7753 hasn't got those circles, and that's a pity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
www_watch Posted July 28, 2011 Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 Gen and swiss version have concentric circles on the subdials Yes, but they're WAY too pronounced on the swiss7753 rep. On the gen you sometimes don't even see them. So I guess i would prefer the newer version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PolonusTM Posted July 28, 2011 Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 (edited) Missing concentring circles on subdials, pearl too embosed, something wrong with rotating bezel - it is better to wait for V2 before tossing almost $500 Edited July 28, 2011 by PolonusTM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prdubis Posted July 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 Sorry if I've not been clear, 1000 is too dark on the Swiss version... To be true, I don't think there will be another version... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sahboo Posted July 28, 2011 Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 that's it!...i'm ordering mine now...i can live without concentric circles on the subdials...same with wrong lume...i don't usually wear a watch in complete darkness......the pearl is not that bad...but i like the fact that they fixed the color on the '1000m'...

burnz Posted July 28, 2011 Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 The concentric circles you guys are talking about is extremely faint on the gen. Not visible to the naked eye, and barely visible under a macro lens. Here's a macro I took of my 187 before.. You can barely make out the lines only when you zoom into the pic..

prdubis Posted July 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 Anyone knows if it's possible to swap hands between ETA and asian 7753? Sent from my GT-P1000 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted July 28, 2011 Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 Anyone knows if it's possible to swap hands between ETA and asian 7753? Sent from my GT-P1000 using Tapatalk Not without a lot of rework. The high beat Asian 7750 hands do not fit on a Swiss Valjouox 7750 never mind a 7753 without a lot of fitting.

Sent from my GT-P1000 using Tapatalk A7753 hands will not fit ETA.. when i was doing an eta conversion for my A7753 daylight, i had to buy a separate set of ETA7753 hands because the rep A7753 hands would not fit the ETA movement..
