seymur Posted March 3, 2012 Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 Hello everyone! Lately seen on Joshua website new Hamilton Khaki Base Jump Replice. I am liked how chrono button system works and superlume. But problem is that I cant find this model on offical Hamilton website or anywhere about this model there has no chrono version. Here is the watch: http://www.1-pc8838.com/ham10001-khaki-base-jump-dlctiru-p-11946.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolexman Posted March 4, 2012 Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 I don't get the rep factories. The genuine retails for around 900 euros... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calatrava Posted March 4, 2012 Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 The watch was discontinued due to issues with the bezel driven chronograph pushers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogerthat Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 Amazed they bothered to rep this too Seems like demand would be much higher for other brands/models 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gran Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 The watch was discontinued due to issues with the bezel driven chronograph pushers. Yes its a shock to see HAMILTON copies....maybe the answer lies in the "discontinued"....so maybe it is sought after for that reason?....anyhow its a BIG watch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarrettP1 Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 No way is this a rep. It's left over parts/cases from the original production of the watch, with a substituted A7750. If you look at the mechanism of the bezel activated chrono function (there's a tear-down of the Hamilton on WatchUseek), you can see that the tensioning mechanism is way too complicated for rep factories to tackle for such a modest cost original. Also, just like the genuine, the small lettering on the dial is lumed as well ("Automatic"). I ordered one. A little over a year ago I purchased a NOS Hamilton 7750 off the 'bay. I think I've found a place to put it. This model was discontinued over QC issues of the chrono function, and I'm sure the rep will have the same issues. Should be fun for awhile, though.

rogerthat Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 Yes very good input and it makes sense Watch is still too big for me though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richard_uk Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 It's advertised as a 1:1 copy though, surely if it was made using gen parts it would be advertised as such, as this is better? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbjoer Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 It's advertised as a 1:1 copy though, surely if it was made using gen parts it would be advertised as such, as this is better? In Repdom that may not be the case. Naturally the factory which made these parts never made them. So clearly someone else did a 1:1. Yes? That's assuming it is made from surplus production. We shall never know for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seymur Posted March 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 It is still looking f*** cool unique chrono watch .. Interesthing if not to use choron watch going to last for long? (I am myself do not use chrono on watches) I am really wanna buy this model ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrgod Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 Great watch. Even the engravings on the movement rotor appears to be well made. 51mm case is big, but I assume it recons to be a parajumper watch.. to be worn over the suit.
