That Titanium model is sooooo sweet. It's definately my next purchase. :thumbsupsmileyanim:

Has anyone come up with an answer about the bent second hands? Im pretty sure they are like that with the gen also, but haven't seen a good enough picture of one to verify.

are they all Asia movt. or is there a swiss version as well?

I have not seen a swiss one. The 7750@28, with the cost of a The Zigmeister service thrown in, is as reliable as an ETA, and probably still cheaper.

I just purchased one also. There are several Dealers selling the same watches as there is only one Manufacturer. You know it is the same one as the serial # of all end on "649". Aspire has one for $ 199 but wants you to uses Weastern Union . I got one for $ 250 including EMS shipping. NICE watch. The watch runs a bit fast and I plan on waitin a few months and then may adjust it.

SQL PL-

Since you own all three I was curious as to whether one version was more accurate than others as relates to dial, hands and datewheel. That titanium version looks beautiful. I assume there actually was a gen in titanium. The issue with titanium is often the basic color (yes I know it darkens over time). The gens are often lighter in the flesh. Chrono Avenger is a good example. In any case those are beautifu reps - wear them well. :)

Thanks,

Kruz

The bent second hand puts the point closer to the marks on the dial removing paralax inaccuracy on the sub-second chrono.

just in case some of you don't know, this is when you look at the hand from different angles. so if the true second hand time was at 00 seconds, if you view it from the right it would look like 59 seconds. from the left would look like 1 second. bending reduces this error.

the IWC logo on the clasp looks rough. is it just the picture or is it really like that?
