eunomians Posted November 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 I'll take a wristshot this afternoon. The crown screws in nicely. It's easy to screw and the action is smooth (this sounds like I'm talking about something else, doesn't it?) Perhaps I got lucky with my dial, the lume application is perfect. I assume that image compression and crystal refraction might make the lume look crooked or uneven in my pics. In regards to the subdials: they are not shiny. One of the pics I took shows them reflecting light. I posted that pic in an attempt to display the tiny concentric circles design of the subdials. The dial looks genuine. It is flawless. Could this be classified as a Super Rep? I'm inclined to say that my example on my wrist here appears to be one. The watch appears to be genuine. The heft, exacting degree(s) of total attention to tiny details, overall finish, etc... make it superb - fresh out the box. Members here might disagree with me. Remember this thread reflects my personal opinion. But for those that know me, you can expect me to have some pretty high standards Will all of them be Super Reps? Perhaps not as I am sure that there will be varying degrees of QC issues with some of these watches. There are so many little details that can be screwed up, such as marker/lume application, the dreaded Day/Date alignment, rotating inner bezel issues, movement issues, etc... Will yours be 'perfect' straight from the package you get in the mail? Again, luck of the draw will determine this. Recall the 3717 when it first came out? I got an EL special from his first batch. The watch was excellent. Later on, shoddy examples began to emerge. We will find out how the QC issues turn out. I can tell you though that if you order one that is dropshipped, you will most likely face sh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eunomians Posted November 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 Because of the thickness of 7750-based watches, the chrono pushers do NOT dig into your skin when the watch is worn 'loose' or 'tight'. Wristshots: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest avitt Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 (edited) It's a beautiful piece, but it looks/sounds like the quality is all over the place... Edited November 29, 2007 by avitt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetsons Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 Congratulations on one terrific IWC, Euno & thanks for the excellent photos. It seems that the long wait was more than worth it. I've always been hesitant to pick up a watch with an Asian chrono movement but perhaps this one will do it. Simply a stunning watch! Enjoy!

andyaudi42 Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 Great looking watch E... Whats the lume like on this? i might have missed it when reading, i know the CD 06 has a prety good lume stock, and because this is the same except for black and lack of "CD" on the front, i would hope its the same... And im contacting Angus right now. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chad Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 Looks like no double AR in the photos? That true? If so the collectors need to update there pages right away and take down the DOUBLE AR from the descriptions. Great looking watch E...

eunomians Posted November 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 Looks like double AR to me; albeit a nice, mild and functional double AR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lello Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 (edited) I felt in love with this watch, especially after I tested one gen on my wrist a couple of weeks a go. It seams it just needs the right DW! I'm going to get one AT for sure and this means that I will also produce the DW for sure. Any idea where I can see how to reproduce the right fonts? How many of you guys would be interested in getting the DW? -- Lello. Edited November 29, 2007 by lello Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malumouse Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 lello just get the ETA day/date wheels BLACK from oferi etc.....They are a perfect match..!!! Im sure anyone who has a pair, can compare it to the gen and let you know that they are a exact match...!!! here is a pic of the gen to compare the fonts...anyone who has a pair on day/date wheels on hand can chime in...and confirm it..

eunomians Posted November 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 Yes Lello, the DWs are ETA... The only trouble is that they are getting very hard to get - just like trying to get 7750 movements for under $400 nowdays.

HauteHippie Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 just like trying to get 7750 movements for under $400 nowdays. Where can you get them at all? I can't find any. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
