TomBombadil Posted March 17, 2006 Report Share Posted March 17, 2006 I wish they showed pics of the movment. I'm curious if it is the new asian 7750, or the old one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watchmeister Posted March 17, 2006 Report Share Posted March 17, 2006 Looks like what Eddie Lee is offering. http://photogalleryforum.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=1772 In fact, could that be Eddie since he is in Canada. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woody Posted March 17, 2006 Report Share Posted March 17, 2006 That is Eddie. He does iOffer stuff too. But I assume we get better pricing here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eunomians Posted March 21, 2006 Report Share Posted March 21, 2006 Once that bezel is improved to shiny and the dots have no metal rings on the dial, I will buy it in a flash. Until then, it's just too damn 'off'. This watch is by far one of my favorite PAMs. I love the no hash mark bezel. Its really future & art deco looking to me. Utilitarian beauty. Wow. What a friggin' watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until then, it's just too damn 'off'. Hi: Could you explain the comment about the dots with no metal rings. I've just looked at a couple pix of genuine 024s and their dial markers look the same (with rings). What am I missing? Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finepics Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 Now all we need is the Arktos and the PAM 24 and 199 to come out with the 7750 - perfect for converting to a swiss 7750 (unless these are the new movts). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 The issues are the following: a.) Rep is modeled after the A series which is the only one that came with no etchings on the bezel (it has raised markers only). On that version there are no metal rings around the hour markers b.) Subsequent versions have bezel with both markers and etching. Some have rings and some don't I do believe the A did come without bezel etching in both polished and unpolished though. What I do appreciate about this particular version is that the hands and how they join on the center pinion is very close to spot on and that (IMHO) is the give away on all these subs. Plenty of watches require repairs and new dials. None get a replacement cheapy movement with capped hands. If you want to get psychotic about it: Polish up whole watch, investigate removing rings from hour markers (I believe they are glued on), relume with creamy lume to emulate tritium, add new cyclops and hope someone makes a datewheel. Between the 7750 - 48, 49, 24, etc, there may be enough demand to warrant someone doing this.Now you are looking pretty good. Then again you have too much money into it and it costs almost twice as much as the original lower cost version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 I just got this watch yesterday and Kruzer is pretty spot on about the details. The date mag is still pretty weak on this, which I feel is still the biggest give away about it. However, its heavy and feels good on the wrist, like a sub should. I strapped on the rubber strap and I feel that its still the better of the 2 versions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 I agree. Mine is on the way. I am likely to polish it up and am certainly adding the new cyclops to dramatically improve magnification. The rings I will investigate when I receive.

And only the very last of the B series subs had ar coat either. I believe only all polished was available on the b series. but neither had the rings around the minute markers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted March 25, 2006 Report Share Posted March 25, 2006 Gen 24A: Gen 24B: Source: http://www.lacotedesmontres.com/Galerie-No_4092.htm But they did come in both polished and matte bezel. Do people agree that the crown looks pretty damn vis-a-vis the gen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
