Beachcomber Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 Wondering if you guys can help me out, I was thinking of picking this up, complete with a nice 7206. Opinions please. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lo' Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 A word of caution on this otherwise amazing watch (I have one myself!): Many inceptions of the A390 movement were factory flawed because a tiny piece (in the rotor mechanism if my memory serves me well... tried to Google that to no avail), was subject to breackage under constant use therefore, many 7928/0 out there have received dubious "transplants" since original parts are almost impossible to find. As far as I'm concerned I'd require a solid guarantee that the movement is untampered with before buying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beachcomber Posted June 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 Thanks for the replies, I noticed this has a lollipop second hand, I don't remember seeing them on 7928s, is this correct for a 67?

Beachcomber Posted June 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 Would you consider $4.8 a decent price? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cc33 Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 Looks like a nice long 5 insert and swiss rivet band, that's gotta be at least 3k in value right there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
droptopman Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 Nice looking piece there. No doubt on the value of that insert and bracelet. That insert looks to be in pristine condition. Sent from my droptop using telepathy ️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lo' Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 Hi Comber, According to me 5k is a bit high. Does the watch come with b&p? If not I would not pay more than 4k for this watch, and only if I could inspect the movement. I paid $2,5 some years ago for mine which is 100% original in any part including the crystal, but came with a leather strap instead of the nice rivet bracelet you've got there. Have you tried dropping an eye on chrono24 just to get an impression? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marrickvilleboy Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 Can't get these under $4K anymore Forget the $2.5K price tag, that's almost a steal now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beachcomber Posted June 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 Well, it's a toss up between this 1680 and the 7928 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marrickvilleboy Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 if thats the toss up 1680 IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
esco Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 I agree ... 1680 would be my choice between the two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lo' Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 Can't get these under $4K anymore Forget the $2.5K price tag, that's almost a steal now! Glad to hear that but what I said is that I would not pay more than 4k for the watch Comber is proposing, not that he should pay less. This being said if the choice is between a 7928 and a 1680 I'd go for the latter without too much thinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beachcomber Posted June 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 Thanks for your help guys I have decided on the 1680 which I believe is a far more better deal for the same money.

panerai153 Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 1680 would definitely be my choice. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mendota Explorer Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 You chose wisely. 1680 for the same price = no brainer. Can't wait to see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beachcomber Posted June 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 You chose wisely. 1680 for the same price = no brainer. Can't wait to see it. I did say same price, not exactly, sorry, it was a bit more. I'm psyched since this is one that appears not to have been bouncing back and forth from flipper to flipper. It's got a general build up of crud which I personally look for when buying vintage, also look at that 127 Top Hat, that's not a replacement, nice sharp edge. The downside is it probably hasn't seen a service since 1977! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
