Pugwash Posted September 24, 2007 Report Share Posted September 24, 2007 any thoughts pro or con with these two watches? Accuracy etc. They're both crappy 21,600 a7750 movements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sql_pl Posted September 24, 2007 Report Share Posted September 24, 2007 Regular 3717 all the way. Forget about those crappy, shiny St Exupery subdials.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanikai Posted September 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2007 Regular 3717 all the way. Forget about those crappy, shiny St Exupery subdials.... Yes .. i agree with your choice .. the ST. EX is too much dazzle in the dial to be (to me) a vintage look.... and the vintage look is what i like ... so thank you for the feedback @ Pug .... agree .. it's definately a crap shoot with these movements... but sooner or later it will have to go to Ziggy for servicing anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pugwash Posted September 24, 2007 Report Share Posted September 24, 2007 @ Pug .... agree .. it's definately a crap shoot with these movements... but sooner or later it will have to go to The Zigmeister for servicing anyway Or get one with the 28,800 a7750.

lanikai Posted September 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 Or get one with the 28,800 a7750. Copy that Pug.. that's the one I'm getting... did not want to disagree with you as you know infinately more than I do .. I am going with Ziggy's review on this movement thanks for your time Pug..

Pugwash Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 Copy that Pug.. that's the one I'm getting... did not want to disagree with you as you know infinately more than I do .. I am going with The Zigmeister's review on this movement Josh and Andrew don't stock the 28,800 version. You need to get it from Precious Time (UK), River or Eddie Lee. Oh, and definitely get the 3717 and not the StE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dadog13 Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 everybody advised you to get the 3717...I'd say the St E...I like the look of it...I am not too much disturbed by it's accuracy..the brown dial and the gold case are a great combo...and River has it for a special price... as for the mvt...the 21.6K is not so bad if I was asked..I had and have a couple of them and never had any bigger problems...maybe I was lucky...

PAMman Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 21.6K or 28.8K??? If you click on the Perfectclones link in the first post the heading specifically states 'Asian 7750 chrono 28,800bph'. Has Joshua got it wrong or is he now supplying the newer movement?

If he says it's a 28k, it's most likely a 28k. This must be new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rckh Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 I also recommend u to get IWC rather than St.A version. Make sure to get 28.8K version. Best Regards, Raymond Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAMman Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 I got the 3717 too, but I deliberately bought the 21.6K version as I wanted to transplant a Swiss movement into it. However it is still running fine on the old one but surgery is coming up soon. You won't regret the 3717 - you can only fully appreciate it when it's on your arm.

World Traveller Posted September 27, 2007 Report Share Posted September 27, 2007 It really is too bad the Portuguese is so unreliable , otherwise that would be my first choice of an IWC replica. With the horror stories of stopped seconds movements all over the forum I can't justify the purchase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanikai Posted September 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2007 If he says it's a 28k, it's most likely a 28k. This must be new. thank you everyone for your input.. i have ordered the 3717 28k movement.. and have already put in the order for my brown alligator strap .. kevlar .. and honey brown strap for the spitefire that I have yet to order... I need some white dials .. I would someday like to give PT a go but being in the UK .. i am hesitant because of customs to the USA .. and being in Hawaii (a port city with a big naval Base) presents other challenges with the big C (now under Home land security) the ST. E has a little too much flash for me and the 3717 markings has a magnetic attraction to the eye's.. looks rather teutonic in nature Thanks again, lanikai Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magagne Posted September 27, 2007 Report Share Posted September 27, 2007 (edited) It really is too bad the Portuguese is so unreliable , otherwise that would be my first choice of an IWC replica. With the horror stories of stopped seconds movements all over the forum I can't justify the purchase. I'm just waiting for a another version (and more reliable) of the asian 7750 sec@6 just to purchase these beauty Asian 7750 sec@6 are just a piece of crap. :cc_chinese: really need to return to the drawing table and do better this time.

lanikai Posted October 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 Actually, I am getting the new A7750 28k as this movement has "proven" to be 100 % better than the older 7750 21600 ... and it is being loaded into the Postal truck for delivery today as i type this ... pics to follow later today ... hope so..., cause.. it's Monday ..and with that comes Monday night Football.. Dluddy's team vs. the Cicinatti Bengals (Carson Palmer) .. should be a Good game if bengals defense can contain the explosive O of NE... but don't bet on that happening .. New England by 2 TD' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
