italiano17771 Posted September 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 it looks pretty good at a quick glance...lets hope its in the $250-$300 price range. i dont think it should be more than $300. i think this is the one that Joe Hachem was wearing at the 2007 World series of poker.

Logan Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 It looks great.. but 48mm?? Surely there will come a point where the watches get bigger than most owners can actually wear? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dani Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 Its on order as soon as my regular dealers have it . Its looks very close to the gen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ahchard Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 I was just gonna make a post on this and I saw someone had already beaten me to it!! Just saw it on Josh's site... looks pretty good... but 48mm??? hmmm... EDIT: andrew's site states that it is 1:1 and titanium!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dani Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 im definitely ordering one as well. dani, do you have any idea of the price for this one? i think it will be about 320$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MADRED7 Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 This CORUM could have been 1:1 if only the wording ADMIRALS CUP would have been in the correct fonts.....they used the old-type corum font (kind of handwritten) instead of the quite normal (Arial style) fonts. What a shame....doing a very nice watch....killing it on 2nd look CORUM OK, OK.....there seems to be an old and a new AC.....with both fonts....who cares, I will buy it anyway!

italiano17771 Posted September 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 the only thing i saw wrong with it so far is that on the blue version the datewheel should also be blue. im going to get the black one anyway so that shouldnt be a problem.

Guest chronomat123 Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 Wonder if it has real AR like the HBB and SFSO or "light AR." The latter is a complete joke. I've seen the gen watch in blue in person and it is KILLER. No lie. And it has very strong double AR. I hope they managed to oput real double AR on this-- for $330~!~ Even though I'm selling off my collection, I will definitely buy one in blue if it has double AR. Shame they screwed up the datewheels, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest chronomat123 Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 Just heard back from Josh. It has the same single sided AR as the UPO. Weak, man... weak... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahchard Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 For real? For a moment I thought the AR was pretty good looking from the photos posted by Josh... As for the datewheel... in some pics it looks blue and in others it looks darker...maybe just the angle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMK000 Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 48 mm !!! ..... you got to have the right arm for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MADRED7 Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 I love this site.....the best info-summary you can find.... I would not have cared for the datewheel or the color of dial/strap, but if this really has got only single sided AR....I will step back from it! What a shame, a 320$ watch and weak AR.....this will scream FAKE all over the place! Can one of the dealers please step up and clarify!!! Thx, Theo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkarpas Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 i deff. want this watch... wonderful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saviboy Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 whats the function of the dial at 9 o clock? I assume second hand, but then why a 7750 movement since it doesn't appear to have any chronographs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geo1nah2a Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 whats the function of the dial at 9 o clock? I assume second hand, but then why a 7750 movement since it doesn't appear to have any chronographs About the dial: It is running seconds. About the caliber: Genuine: "The Admiral's Cup Competition 48 is equipped with La Joux Perret caliber 8235 movement. Its reliability is proved by COSC chronometer certification. The movement comprises 24 jewels and features perfect finishing. The heart of the watch is based upon the prominent ETA 7750 movement."

CY0811 Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 need to see a good wrist shot of the gen or rep...everything looks good eexcept the double AR....seems like it will be comfortable for a huge watch too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giorgio Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 ...everything looks good eexcept the double AR.... Not quite. That font will give the watch away at 30 feet. *edit* - looks like there are 2 versions of the gen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkdk Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 LOL. it actually looks better on the rep. That font on the gen is horrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
italiano17771 Posted September 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 just to clarify, the gen also has the font on the rep. BUt the datewheel on the blue version should be blue, but on the rep its black. thats the only real mistake i see so far, but you should be good if you get the black one.
