thomasng Posted November 9, 2006 Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 http://www.replicacollector.com/members/in...mp;#entry152267 Holy crap, I'm wetting myself just by looking at the case! I'll wager if they really went to so much effort to making such a great case, the dial and movement will be good too. We really are in the golden generation of reps.

thomasng Posted November 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 I have a genuine white Themes dial I bought for $350. Looks like it's going to come into use pretty soon, provided they don't screw up the subdials. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chronus Posted November 9, 2006 Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 Now this looks promising... hold on for the ride! Hope the movement turns out good and isn't a re-configured Asian7750 with the subdials moved around a la Daytona... and it's associated unreliability.

JWR Posted November 9, 2006 Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 My question is really how they're going to do an accurate subdial arrangement... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bosk Posted November 9, 2006 Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 (edited) PT confirmed its the same size as the gen I'll be down for one... hopefully the cyclops will be decent. Edited November 9, 2006 by bosk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thomasng Posted November 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 I'm confident they will do a good job on this, at least I know the cyclops won't be stuck on the crystal, judging from the pics. Lets pray they get it right off the bat, putting the cyclops on the dial level. This time, I actually hope the date is sunken in, unlike the PAM reps. I would shoot for this even if they used a 7750, with the seconds moved up to the 12, and the minutes to 9. It could be a crapshoot like the Daytona, but I would take the risk anyday for a rep of this caliber. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bignasty Posted November 9, 2006 Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 I would almost rather them re-arrange the subdial like they did on the large Bentley rep. From a distance the dial would appear accurate but most importantly the movement would be reliable, at least if it has the newer 7750b1 movement. We've seen what happens with the Daytonas and the negative reviews of the IWC Portugese reps. I'd just assume they leave it be and sort the dial out properly. I had the Big Bent and loved it. Didn't care one bit about the dials being laid out incorrectly. I'm never going to walk into an AD and hold it side by side a gen. I also own a Daytona rep that has seconds at 9 even though its obviously a Post 2000 model. But I'm very happy with it and don't doubt it every time I push the start button on the chrono. Hands down I'd rather have my $200-300 last me several years as opposed to making an accurate looking paper weight / door stop. Just my 2 cents. I'm excited about this and the other new reps that might be on the horizon soon! The Chopard looks very nice and I've even heard that their may be a 7750 based Chronomat Evolution in our near future!

retep Posted November 9, 2006 Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 noooo....another one that i need...i tought to buy just the 194 till new year...now it seems that my account will hit red before xmas! Relax, i don`t think you will hit red this year . Angus stated that he waited 6 months for this case to arrive. So to get the whole watch done near perfect it will take some more time i think. So you can save up for the big moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonton2000 Posted November 9, 2006 Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 Angus has said there are 9, YES 9 DIFFERENT DIAL VARIANTS! Im guessing: All black s/s All white s/s white with blue indices s/s EOD with PVD case Themes white with silver indices s/s white with gold indices, gold plated case erm.........i dunno what others there are Plus, he said the movt will be a modded 7750, with running secs @12o'clock like the original.

ubiquitous Posted November 9, 2006 Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 Oooh!! A PVD EOD would be But, I still long for a standard 25860ST chronograph... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronus Posted November 9, 2006 Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 hope we don't have problems with this modded 7750! I'm apprehensive with that... would have to wait and see the track record before putting down any hard-earned cash I think I may agree with having a standard Asian 7750 movement layout with running seconds at 9 for reliability.... unless a potentially modified version works.

Chronus Posted November 9, 2006 Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 Oooh!! A PVD EOD would be I wonder if it will be a true PVD? How about a rubber-clad rose gold ? Or even a titanium version? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
