chrgod Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 What is the verdict on this new Noob offering..? Cant see it is discussed anywhere on RWG. :-) http://puretime-asia.com/product/aquatimer-automatic-vintage-1967-iw323101-on-black-rubber-strap-a7750/ Rep has the old, previous date font. Not the new one that looks like the "Ingenieur date font". However in promotional shots of this model, both date fonts are used... Personally, I actually prefer this date font, which is more in line with the vintage look. New replica: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eunomians Posted April 30, 2014 Report Share Posted April 30, 2014 Is that your rep? I'm very curious about this fine looking specimen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrgod Posted April 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2014 It is not my picture, it is "stolen" from Angus' thread over at Repgeek. :-) This model has a display caseback. The rep movement is based on the 7750, without the nice polished pattern on the gen. At least there is not the tell-tale blue screws usual on the rep 7750-movement.

eunomians Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 (edited) I almost pulled the trigger but will it be offered with the correct date font? So far nobody seems to know, right? Edited May 1, 2014 by eunomians Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryaku Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 In all honesty I prefer the old Slevin, (even though I ll put mine for sale soon) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eunomians Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 I like my old Slevin, too. Great watch. But the vintage Aquatimer is a nice classic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
japanic Posted May 2, 2014 Report Share Posted May 2, 2014 Why would they use the a7750 movement? Surely a 2836 or 24 would have worked perfectly well for a standard 3 hand piece. Unless there's some secondary function I'm not seeing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FxrAndy Posted May 2, 2014 Report Share Posted May 2, 2014 The 7750 has a nice large rotor to emulate the gen sized rotor, but they could have used a number of seagull movements that would have fitted better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eunomians Posted May 2, 2014 Report Share Posted May 2, 2014 Yes, weird choice in using the 7750. There's quite a few reps utilizing the 7750 that sorta doesn't make sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest idraw Posted May 21, 2014 Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 The date font looks anemic. Wish this will be corrected. I just love Aqua Timer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lhooq Posted July 13, 2014 Report Share Posted July 13, 2014 I only recently discovered that this new rep of the Aquatimer Vintage had been released. Not that I'm desperate for a new rep to buy or anything, but I'm curious if anyone actually bought one. Other than the datewheel font, have any replication issues been identified?
