deepsea Posted January 16, 2007 Report Posted January 16, 2007 I'll get a submersible... here are my choices... I'm giving each of their pros and cons. which would you prefer and why? (or would you suggest me another sub that I missed to look?) 24 - OK a submersible but too plain. I think I'm not in love with this one. 64 & 87 la bombas - these would be the first choices but, somewhat the replicas of 64 and 87 doesn't look good as others. there are more flaws. 187 - this is my favourite but the markers on the bezel are the problem. everyone says they fall easily. is there a workaround for this if I choose this one? 194 - this one is also great. but there is something weird about the bezel on this one too. there is a plastic on the inner side of the bezel that looks weird. 243 - another plain submersible. I'm not also in love with this one. 239 - looks hefty, nice and handsome. but it is destro if I had a few other submersibles I would surely get this one, but I hesitate my first sub should be a destro. 243 slytech sub - this is another favourite. hefty, big and mean but has the same problem with 187.
Watchmeister Posted January 17, 2007 Report Posted January 17, 2007 I vote for 243 (second version) - solid 60 click bezel, better finish on the side of the bezel, reasonable lume, etc. IMHO, the closest aesthetically But it is not the slytech - it is the new 1000. 239 looks great. Don't own that one though so I don't know. 194 and 202 (slytech sub) are titanium in real life - rep is not. 87 - decent 60 click bezel but dial color sucks and hour marker bezels are not well finished. 64 - Bezel hash marks are too low relative to the gen 24 - If talking about Asian 7750 version it has no bezel markers other than the 4 "numbers". Should have hash marks (24B or later)or be polished with no metal rings around the hour markers (24A) Of course as I give all these harsh grades I own 4 of the 7.
Finepics Posted January 17, 2007 Report Posted January 17, 2007 243 is the nuts. 24 if bezel polished is also the nuts (kruzer - thinking about a way to get rid of the markers and replace with dots!!!!!) 194 still cool even if SS as the markers are SS (not plated copper) and are welded to the bezel so cannot come off - I like mine a lot!!
Cucumber_Jones Posted January 17, 2007 Report Posted January 17, 2007 (edited) You said the 243 is plain? Huh? Fiddy case, HE valve, thick style bezzel, engraved CG, 60 clicks, engraved lever etc. You sure you know what you are talking about? mine.... Edited January 17, 2007 by Cucumber_Jones

Watchmeister Posted January 17, 2007 Report Posted January 17, 2007 With 20 modded PAM's in hand, I like the 243 so much that I haven't gotten off my wrist to get it to Ziggy for relume yet. Finepics- If you figure how to get those rings off, let me know.
Pre V Posted January 17, 2007 Report Posted January 17, 2007 If you prefer a chunkier piece, I would recommend the 64C or 87. I have both and they are always in rotation for the past 2 months. The updated 243 seems to be a hot fav in terms of accuracy. 187 if you can acquire the Watchonpo's version. Too many markers drops and requests with the other version.
shultz Posted January 17, 2007 Report Posted January 17, 2007 Despite the problems I posted due to my recently purchased 239 (which will be swapped for an accurate working one) I would recommend that watch. The making is pretty accurate and the left handed case makes it very comfortable because that thick crown guard does not bother you at any time (by wearing it at your left wrist as usual). A truly ergonomic piece and an eye-catcher, too!

Watchmeister Posted January 18, 2007 Report Posted January 18, 2007 243...243...243...243....243....243...243....243....243.....
HauteHippie Posted January 18, 2007 Report Posted January 18, 2007 [censored]. Now I gotta gets me a 243! Is it really an Asian 7750 as listed on Perfect Clones? Why in a non-chronograph watch?
Pugwash Posted January 18, 2007 Report Posted January 18, 2007 Is it really an Asian 7750 as listed on Perfect Clones? Why in a non-chronograph watch? Seconds at 9, date at 3, Automatic. What better than a 7750?
HauteHippie Posted January 18, 2007 Report Posted January 18, 2007 Seconds at 9, date at 3, Automatic. What better than a 7750? Ah, yes, the date. That's why.
Cucumber_Jones Posted January 18, 2007 Report Posted January 18, 2007 Great pictures man. What strap is that? It is a Mario Paci. They are awesome!
deepsea Posted January 18, 2007 Author Report Posted January 18, 2007 You said the 243 is plain? Huh? Fiddy case, HE valve, thick style bezzel, engraved CG, 60 clicks, engraved lever etc. You sure you know what you are talking about? first of all, I hadn't seen this version man this looks awesome... -- I talked with my supplier (you also know him of course ) and he told me to wait for a month. a new upgraded 187 is comming on its way and he told me the falling markers problem will be solved with that version... so I made my decision and will go for a 187. luv at first sight. this 243 is another killa though. thanks for your all comments mates
Cucumber_Jones Posted January 18, 2007 Report Posted January 18, 2007 243 - another plain submersible. I'm not also in love with this one. I am confused if you had not seen it then why did you say it is plain and you did not love it. I LOVE IT!!
deepsea Posted January 18, 2007 Author Report Posted January 18, 2007 my talking was based on the previous version. big second hand place, less hefty bezel, etc. this one is surely much better.
