chrgod Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 Congratulations on a nice watch! Seems like the date is slightly offset to the right on the Carrera chono, as it is on the Link Chrono. Not that it matters at all, a really good looker.

hupholland Posted January 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 Please inform us about the movement (asian 7750 is it? ) did you service it ? No service yet, straight from the package on the wrist. Let see what happens with the asian 7750 28k8, I can always have it serviced later.

omd Posted January 20, 2007 Report Share Posted January 20, 2007 Got mine yesterday, With more than 40 reps bought on the last 2 years, I can tell you this one is on my top 5 The only way you can see the subdial edge is with a loupe or a microscope The date alignment is a bit of but not worse then other replicas This watch is a 100% sport watch so a rubber strap is a must have Thanks Sr. vmena for taking care of the group buy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pugwash Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 I wonder when we'll see the black/silver dial ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryaku Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 We should have it in short time.... at least King said this to me last week and actually i expected to see it few days ago. You too interested Pug? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pugwash Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 You too interested Pug? Yes I am. Since I saw this one in a TAG shop and saw how it looked being worn in the film Crank (or GTA3, the Movie as I call it) I decided it was the one for me. The red is a little too harsh, maybe. I mean I'd wear it if I had it, but I think the silver is better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryaku Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 Don't you really like Aquaracer chronos and Carrera Twin time??!! I can't believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slowlearner Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 I got my King group buy Carerra the other day and it is just OK. The chronos work and reset perfectly, and the date seems to be centered just right. It also keeps decent time so far. However, the silver bars on the dial at 10 and 11 o'clock are shorter than they should be. Looks like they might be the shorter bars that are used at 3 and 9 o'clock. I'm a little disappointed but not enough to risk sending it back or to spend any more money on it. I also have a Tag Link chrono from Joshua where the small hours subdial doesn't reset properly and I'm just living with that too. Neither one is worth spending the money to ship back and risk having it get lost, etc. I think those will be the only two pricier reps I'll buy. I don't mind too much if a $80 rep has problems but for $230+ there shouldn't be such issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovepanerai Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 Don't you really like Aquaracer chronos and Carrera Twin time??!! I can't believe. The Aquaracer Chronos are nice too but I would really like the 2000 Aquagraph, I doubt though that they will be able to rep the 2000 Aquagraph with the large minute stop hand. The Twintime's are OK but not a must have for me... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the best photo but you can see what I am talking about. Look at the 10 and 11 o'clock markers compared to 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, & 8 o'clock...

ryaku Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 That sucks...no doubt the dial should be different. You can try to contact King for a replacement or a new dial if you can't live with that faulty dial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can try to contact King for a replacement or a new dial if you can't live with that faulty dial. I have no idea how to contact King. I just happened to hop in on the group buy that vmena set up. He did all the communicating. I don't want to send the watch back, maybe she might be willing to send me a new dial, but then I have to find someone who can change it for me.

Look at the 10 and 11 o'clock markers compared to 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, & 8 o'clock... I'd ask for a replacement dial for that. I wouldn't wear that watch like that. mine doesn't have the same issue and in fact looks practically like the gen except for the date font.
