Finepics Posted May 20, 2006 Author Report Posted May 20, 2006 OK. I know what is going on with mine. And you will not believe it. They made a mistake and..... DID NOT SEND IT OUT YET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 2 DAMN MONTHS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And you are both getting yours TOMORROW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Congrats! Cheers..... Only 2 months - you aint had nothing!! I originally paid for this on the 23rd Feb - 3 months ago!!! @Panerailord - "do you know if parcelforce work at saturday - if yes maybe and i have the pan 187" Yes they do work saturday but do not deliver on Saturdays so you will just have to wait a little longer. Read my post - I am going in my car to collect it from the main depot which I have arranged by telephone.

panerailord Posted May 20, 2006 Report Posted May 20, 2006 finepics still wait photos and review my friend :yucky:
Watchmeister Posted May 20, 2006 Report Posted May 20, 2006 Finepics- Go get it. Quarks- You really make me laugh. You want to post some pics.
Finepics Posted May 20, 2006 Author Report Posted May 20, 2006 At last the story almost ends - I say almost cos there should have been 2 watches but only 1 in the box!! Still for the moment I couldn't care less - enjoy the pics. This shows the AR coat Final wrist shot - might see that a few times on the FRWC!!
Finepics Posted May 20, 2006 Author Report Posted May 20, 2006 ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT!! Thanks dude - though my original plan was to be the first on RWG - but you beat me too it as you took the direct route!! What's the number on yours?
Quarks Posted May 20, 2006 Report Posted May 20, 2006 I merely took a huge risk and jumped right into it. I was lucky I guess. My number is 26. The watch feels heavy, doesn't it? Oh... and stop staring at the damn watch and tell me what time it is already!!
azgjav Posted May 20, 2006 Report Posted May 20, 2006 congrats on ur new watch! hmmmz..i've a feeling u'll be reluming it...hehehe..
panerailord Posted May 20, 2006 Report Posted May 20, 2006 more photos please finepics or kruzer00 nice watch!!!!!!!!!
swdivad Posted May 20, 2006 Report Posted May 20, 2006 Beautiful watch Mark! Please tell us about the details and quality... And then your wrist size and if it *really* suits!! I am contemplating this one, but with a 6 3/4" wrist, I think it might be a bit much
Finepics Posted May 20, 2006 Author Report Posted May 20, 2006 David if you can wear the fiddy you can wear this no problem. It's the same diameter just a lot thicker/taller. The quality is superb. Only flaws are the dummy He button which is laser etched He but should be engraved, the date is sunk down the same as the 188/196 asian 7750's but is less noticeable due to the matte dial (not so much shadow). The dial is beautifully printed although I understand tha the blue lettering 1000 is not quite the right colour, the bezel clicks around at 1 minute intervals as smooth and sweet as you like!. The pusher locks do up nice and freely unlike a lot of the Daytonas that I've seen. The CG lever snaps shut nice and tight so I would be confident enough to take this baby deep in the water (making sure the caseback seal is lubed and tightened down properly). One fault on mine was that one of the strap screws was stripped but found a spare fiddy screw for it. Also had to cut a small bit of the rubber band where the tang goes to accept the QR buckle. Date pusher is a genuine pusher but does not work because the movt spacer ring has no cut-out for it - so it's blocked off! The strap is probably not as good quality rubber as the gen but until I can compare side by side I will say that it certainly looks the part and is very well and accurately moulded. They send a spare strap with the watch which was a nice touch!! My formal opinion is if you want it and can afford it what are you waiting for - unless it's a 7753!!!! (Don't forget there are still rumours circulating about possible availabilty from our dealers so no need to rush as I don't think Honpo will sell out overnight).
tonton2000 Posted May 20, 2006 Report Posted May 20, 2006 Did you get your from Ken as well?? Looks beautiful!
Dani Posted May 20, 2006 Report Posted May 20, 2006 Beauty of a watch Mark I digg it to bad 47mm is just to big for me Enjoy it my friend
MADRED7 Posted May 20, 2006 Report Posted May 20, 2006 Many congrats Mark...and KUDOS for bringing the long wait to a happy ending! The watch is a real beauty and I am so jealous of it. Thx again for all your Info and I will accept your good advice....time will tell. Best wishes and wear it well, Theo
rek001 Posted May 20, 2006 Report Posted May 20, 2006 Congrats on the fine watch, and I must ask - Honpo is now shipping outside of Japan?
