freddy333 Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 I am totally with Euno on this. More refinement, less bling. Do a proper Lange 1 with a working big date or a reliable Asian Valjoux 72/727 and you will have my vote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kollektor Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 Some days are subtle days. Others are bling days. Makes things fun. Nice looking watch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

archibald Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 The subdial spacing on this movement looks identical to the 7750. Any confirmation on whether this is a gear train special or a new design? If it's gear train job, they might as well do the ROO movement. Then at least we'll be able to complain about running seconds in all four positions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rxus Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 This watch looks great, my only complain as someone already mentioned is the lack of double AR...You would think new Breitling releases would all come with it. It's like selling a Rolex with no sweep and expecting us to take care of that MINOR flaw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halley Posted June 22, 2007 Report Share Posted June 22, 2007 Spacing looks a bit of, what the gen uses? a big date 2894? But this watch is looking sooo good, might take the plunge once confirmed it wont break by simply looking at the running second... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted June 22, 2007 Report Share Posted June 22, 2007 How about a decent Lange Or a Glashutte Original? I'd like one of either with a BIG date... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archibald Posted June 23, 2007 Report Share Posted June 23, 2007 Spacing looks a bit of, what the gen uses? a big date 2894? I believe so, although DD does make a big date module for the 7750. But I know of no version of the 7750 w/ date running @ 3:00. Can someone transalte this? "Sapphire Glass with light AR"...mineral glass w/ no AR right?

new & improved osteopath Posted June 23, 2007 Report Share Posted June 23, 2007 If this movement could be made reliable (I doubt it though) we could also see it in a VC overseas chrono which also has a big date. Ahhh, progress.... -O Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can someone transalte this? "Sapphire Glass with light AR"...mineral glass w/ no AR right? It's interesting about the AR. I have just removed a Navitimer crystal and used some sandpaper on the inside of the crystal, and indeed there is some kind of coating that reduces reflections, but to a minimal amount. Now it is removed, it does reflect slightly more than my other Navitimer crystal that hasn't been touched. So light AR isn't actually no AR, it is 'very small amount' of AR. Before I did this I always translated 'light AR' as 'no AR'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxse Posted June 25, 2007 Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 watch looks good. But I still love the Bentley GT. Why can't they just make a good Bentley GT with bold day/date font and have the inner bezel rotate as well? That would be perfect. Let's go dealers... Also some Zenith reps would be great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also some Zenith reps would be great Many probably already know this, but I've confirmed that the subdial spacing is tht same as the 7750, since it is a moddified asia 7750, that means they may in fact make reps of 2824 powered watches using this movement but the tradeoff for the seconds running @ 3:00 will be bad subdial spacing and noticeable differences in crown/pusher position from the gens. Does anyone know of any 7750 based gens that have seconds @ 3:00? I don't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted June 26, 2007 Report Share Posted June 26, 2007 Forget the 2894's, or the rep big date 7750's and the secs@6:00 movements... How about repping a Piguet 1185? They can copy the 7750's, the Venus calibers and build fully functional tourbillons, so why not? An FP 1185 clone would open the door to many, many more possibilities...

Dozens and dozens of high end reps from almost every brand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arminvanbuuren Posted July 1, 2007 Report Share Posted July 1, 2007 agreed with the zenith el primero.. if they can clone 7750s, ETA movements and everything.. why cant they try and clone the el primero movement? and actually make a zenith el primero watch :\ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
