Great watch.

Few questions if you dont mind:

- Is the power reserve working ?? (forget this one , EL says yes)

- Has the crystal any AR coating ??? If not is it very reflective ??

Eddy-

Great looking. I think I am in for one if any left. May have to swap out the case from an asian sub as the "dateset" button on the case irks me.

By the way not the first hobnail dail on rep (8 days, PVD Power Reserve, etc.) but it looks to be the best.

Nice watch, congrats!

But shouldn't the power reserve indicator stop at 40? It looks strange...

Cheers!

You are correct sir. Eddie is sending me a new one as we speak. It was such a beautiful timepiece I thought I would get it out there in pictures.

Have you confirmed that it is a 7750 as he claimed and not the seiko PR movement from the 090?

I'm curious about that as well. If it's the 7750 movement, why does it have the datepusher at the 8 o'clock position? If it's the Miyota, why the much higher price? I went ahead and ordered this watch, and I already own a 090, so I guess I'll find out soon enough. I did ask EL whether the movement inside was truly a 7750. His response was that the miyota movement would not power the power reserve. That's obviously not the case since it works just fine in the $100-$180 (depending on features) Pam 090 reps that are floating around.

Here's the e-mail EL sent me with regard to the movement:

yes 7750b1

not miyota

miyota cant power power resereve and subdial at 9 oclcok

date font is the same as pam 24 or pam 92 or pma 90 as it is using the

same

datewheel and len.

Nice looking watch, no question. But I'm looking at the back of my cheap PAM 090 rep, and it's the exact same movement. Is there a reason it's almost $100 more than the most expensive PAM 090 rep (the one with sapphire crystal, A/R, improved crown guard...),and almost $200 more than the cheapo on my wrist? With a 7750, the price difference is understandable. If it's false advertising, then it seems like that's an awful lot of profit margin.

Guest eddielee11

it is the same movt as pr 90 or 124

sapphire

brushed casing

it is not miyota.

i can be wrong, but i have not seen a miyota that can do the power reserve + subdial crawling at 9 oclock.

why uses miyota ? miyota is more $$$ and harder to modify--cost them 15$. The maker can make their own movts why buys someone else movt? cost them 2$

the pam 90 and pam 222 are using the same movt 7750b1.

same as pam 50, pam 165, pam 220, pam 92, pam 24, etc.

hefty profit margin? yes if u were the manufacturer.
