doopey Posted May 8, 2007 Report Share Posted May 8, 2007 I hope you guys can help me out with this. I've searched the internet but so far no luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sssurfer Posted May 8, 2007 Report Share Posted May 8, 2007 I suppose you already have this? Just be warned: I found it declared as a 176 pic, but OP 6570 is a classic OP number for the 116. I am unsure whether OP used that number for 176 cases too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doopey Posted May 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2007 Thanks. No I didn't had that one, but OP 6570 is correct, I've seen it on other pic's of the 176. I've send your pic to Angus, I hope it's good enough. Cheers, Doopey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sssurfer Posted May 8, 2007 Report Share Posted May 8, 2007 Maybe this other pic could help too. Some details are out of focus, but other are more visible than in the former pic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doopey Posted May 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2007 Thanks guys, this will help I'm sure. According to Angus the case back of the 176 is the same as the 177 but I'm not sure about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dadog13 Posted May 9, 2007 Report Share Posted May 9, 2007 here is the caseback of the 176 : here is the caseback of the 177 : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V Posted May 9, 2007 Report Share Posted May 9, 2007 Thanks guys, this will help I'm sure. According to Angus the case back of the 176 is the same as the 177 but I'm not sure about it. Serials are not the same.. Plus I think the 176 has been produced in lower number. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turboGUATE Posted May 9, 2007 Report Share Posted May 9, 2007 doopey Since you're getting the custom caseback, I was wondering if it doesn't concern you that the center plate of the movement has the wrong font and finish as per the gen? This is something that really pisses me, 'cause everyone complains about the fonts on the dials (and I know that it's because it's the first tell of a rep) but not one complains about the decoration of the movement. Please enlight me or else! Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MET-Rx Posted May 10, 2007 Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 Plus I think the 176 has been produced in lower number. He's right about that. 176h had 800made 177h had 900 made Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers! people are more complaining about the dial just because it's the thing that can be seen when someone is wearing the watch...that's what I think why complaints are more refered to the dial side!

Before you even go down that road. You don't have to turn the watch over to see the CG is not correct for a H series. It's easily visible while on the wrist. Most H series Cg are not even close. I would like the better CG first, before I start to worry about the degree of finishing quality on the movement. This would be a dream for a 176h or 177h rep: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doopey Posted May 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 Angus just contacted me, he is going to use the caseback of the 177 so of course I'm not sure anymore, maybe I better go for the 177 @turboGUATE, I dont think that is a big issue for me, however I think it's a bummer that te CG is wrong, but that could be fixed in the future. Everyone many thanks for the pictures, they were a big help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turboGUATE Posted May 10, 2007 Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 Good luck Doopey. I'd go with the 176 (because it's rarer) but both options are great. Just one question: why did you choose Angus over DSN? I've seen his CG and they loook pretty fine to me.... Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doopey Posted May 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2007 Good luck Doopey. I'd go with the 176 (because it's rarer) but both options are great. Just one question: why did you choose Angus over DSN? I've seen his CG and they loook pretty fine to me.... Cheers! 4 reasons: 1. Quality control, Davidsan has none (if I have to believe all the stories); 2. He doesn't accept PP; 3. Angus has a much better price; 4. Maybe DSN's CG is better but he is using the case back of a 036!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
