crystalcranium Posted May 26, 2006 Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 http://perfect-clones.com/product_info.php?products_id=1072 I have an original and just have quarrel with the length of the chrono pushers, (they are too short) and the helium valve is wrong (its not recessed like the original). The movement is an old Asian 7750 but the dials are un-altered so reliability might be better than old 7750's with added gears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crystalcranium Posted May 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 Actually, I'm wrong about the helium valve on the original!!!!! Go Josh. There is something a little funky about the machining of the case around the crown. It's rounded over where it meets the crown recess and the original is not quite like that. The engraved wave pattern on the back is too large in diameter and the lugs as they meet the case are different on the back side. The dial is spot on. I'd love to have this for rough wear and leave my $2500 10th anniversary gift in the drawer for work days! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TJGladeRaider Posted May 27, 2006 Report Share Posted May 27, 2006 What is in his service package? Maybe that's just something he offers those who buy in volume - I don't know. Basically, it includes a complete tear down and service of the movement, waterpoofing and timing. Some of these reps with swiss eta are using movements that have been lying around a long time. I can't see spending the money on best quality reps w/o paying to have them properly serviced from the git-go. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sure hope they wouldnt make a new one and still have that crappy HEV.....once they fix the HEV, I am in.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolexman Posted May 27, 2006 Report Share Posted May 27, 2006 King is offering the same model but I think she is tampering with her pictures. From her pics I would conclude the SMP Chrono it's equipped with the NEW Asian 7750 but...... Notice the difference in bracelet-case attachment (All pics are from her SMP Chronograph section by the way). I think it needs to be clear that the SMP Chrono is equiped with the old 7750 version!

longshot Posted May 27, 2006 Report Share Posted May 27, 2006 What is in his service package?

There isn't much delay, and the difference in the watch is worth it in my view. People pay that same money for the WMs and MBWs - and who has ever heard anyone say they sent Joshua money and didn't get the watch? Be sure and report back.

Richard Tracy Posted May 27, 2006 Report Share Posted May 27, 2006 I have been waiting for a decent omega chrono for a long time..... the movement is good news, she needs some face work, but I am still tempted...

TJGladeRaider Posted May 28, 2006 Report Share Posted May 28, 2006 @TJgladeRaider: would it equivalently give identical result to MBW/MW? I really couldn't say - and I am not sure anyone could until they have seen these new watches Joshua has sourced. They are very, very different than what he and King have offered before. I promise you I could tell the difference in the dark between these and the other subs/sd's I've got -- just unscrew and rescrew the crown a couple of times. It's like butter. Turning the bezel also has an entirely different feel. While the MBWs may make a great platform for mods, they say "POLEX" between the lugs, and I cannot say I am all that impressed by that.

coolfire Posted May 28, 2006 Report Share Posted May 28, 2006 Just what I've been waiting for... Only thing is I wanna wait for the pics of the blue dial/insert version, cos the white dial/ss insert version doesn't look so appealing...
