wraithride Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 I've always purchased my watches from Josh, since he takes credit cards, and has had excellent reviews. I've always wanted an HBB, but the prices are just too outrageous. Since I joined this site, I noticed some of the dealer links and reviews, and I must say that Silix Prime is looking mighty interesting with that cheaper HBB that supposedly has a 28,8 movement in it. I've seen other posts where people are ordering the watches and want to verify the movement, but I've seen no updates yet to either confirm the movement. If it can be confirmed that it does indeed have a new 7750 movement, I'm gettin' me one of them! Wr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfreeman420 Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 I have exchanged emails with Jay and he verified 28k. He is well respected and I trust his input. He did tell me that the maker will put whatever movement a distributor wants in it but will not AR coat the cheaper versions. Also look at the difference in the Lite version and silix version datewheels. They are very different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanytical Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 Be prepared to wait a while with Silix. It took almost a month to get my order. I guess some have said they got theirs much sooner, but most say it ain't quick. Great prices for most things though. Cost vs. speed.

Roland Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 I ordered an HBB from Silix last 9/29 and got it this Monday, 10/8. This was really fast. Listening to the watch and looking at the sweep of the seconds hand I would say it is the high beat movement. Is there a way to tell which movement it is?

wraithride Posted October 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 now i'd still be willing to go through josh if he listed a "lite" 28,8 movement HBB on his site. I guess i'm too new to the rep business to care about AR. Maybe I've never been up close to a watch that has AR to know why it's worth the big bucks, but I'd be more than happy with a big bang carrying a new movement without an AR. Maybe someone can enlighten me as to why AR makes a watch great? Also, I'm having trouble creating an account on silix prime site, any tips for that? I get some error in chinese that only mentions a single english word "email" in it. yes, i remembered to put my email address in the email box on the form Wr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
