steviemeatballs Posted December 1, 2006 Report Share Posted December 1, 2006 Look at this lovely from PureTime (borrowed his pic). 46 mm too. Usil Yes, I have been waiting on this for a long long time. My question is about the movement. It is quartz but the original is an automatic. How realistic is the quartz movement. Still getting me one though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PureTime Posted December 1, 2006 Report Share Posted December 1, 2006 Yes, I have been waiting on this for a long long time. My question is about the movement. It is quartz but the original is an automatic. How realistic is the quartz movement. Still getting me one though The original one is a modified ETA-2892A2 movement, running second at 3. An Asian 7750 cannot be used because 1. Too thick; 2. Running second at 9. This Ronda Swiss Quartz movement is even more expensive than the Asian 7750 movement, with running second at 3 and working chrono. That is why we chose this as the movement.

steviemeatballs Posted December 1, 2006 Report Share Posted December 1, 2006 OK. Does the second hand 'sweep' or click around like say a Seiko Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Estaban Posted December 1, 2006 Report Share Posted December 1, 2006 Very nice looking watch. I'm not too familar with the Ronda Quartz mov't. $228 for a quartz watch sounds like a lot. Maybe The Zigmeister or someone else can enlighten us on the merits of this movement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trustywatchguy Posted December 2, 2006 Report Share Posted December 2, 2006 Guys, The Quartz ticks... This is on a Swiss ETA Quartz because the case is not thick enough to fit in Asia 7750. =P Well... this is still nevertheless a very nice watch. Check www.trustytime.com to see it added by end of today. Cheers ANDREW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steviemeatballs Posted December 2, 2006 Report Share Posted December 2, 2006 (edited) Andrew, your 46mm 92 (non chronograph) uses a 21J automatic correct? Edited December 2, 2006 by steviemeatballs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dosanim Posted December 2, 2006 Report Share Posted December 2, 2006 Gen version is already sold out since it was limited run of 2500(I think that's what I read). Damn, my thin wrist. 44mm is my limit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

longshot Posted December 2, 2006 Report Share Posted December 2, 2006 OK. Does the second hand 'sweep' or click around like say a Seiko Funny... Seiko makes more automatc movement watches with sweeping second hands than anyone on Earth every year... My Seiko 600m titanium professional diver uses an in house movement that beats at 36,600 beats an hour. It don't tick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dani Posted December 2, 2006 Report Share Posted December 2, 2006 Gen version is already sold out since it was limited run of 2500(I think that's what I read). Damn, my thin wrist. 44mm is my limit. 46mm is to large and this is not round either so it will look like a dvd on a wrist I em whit you on the 44mm limit.

tvt Posted December 2, 2006 Report Share Posted December 2, 2006 It's got the fake stamped hex screws on the back just like they all do. As for size, go try on a Tag Monaco... it is only 38mm but because it is square it freaking looks and fels like a Panerai or even bigger! Square watches have MUCH more mass than round ones... so a 46mm SQUARE watch really is ginormous... but it is cool looking if you can pull it off.

PureTime Posted December 3, 2006 Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 The watch maker told me it is a RONDA movement instead of an ETA. This RONDA movement is not cheap and it is really a SWISS MADE movement. The non-Chrono version uses an Asian 21J automatic movement. I just took some pics with 1. PAM127 and 2.B&R 46mm on my wrist (I don't have a big wrist as well) and this may help you to decide whether you should buy this or not. Hope these help.

dadog13 Posted December 4, 2006 Report Share Posted December 4, 2006 @Angus...that wristshot really helped me to understad how big it is...dunno if anyone has a wrist for that one!...but definitely a nice watch...and should be nice have it in the collection!

morgan Posted December 7, 2006 Report Share Posted December 7, 2006 Typically don't go for quartz but if it's boxed up in this thing I might change my mind. I don't care if it ticks or sweeps.. it's mine and really don't care anybody thinks it's fake. Anybody willing to pay $10K for watch has more money than brains anyway. Andrew... get it ready to ship!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
