UPDATE: Add New Pics !!

UPDATE: View my video of this toy at http://www.divshare.com/download/3948849-a27

During the last World War, the past forty years, the success of many bellic-operations depended, unfortunately,

to our loved watches. For the war-necessity the chronos were mod to display only minutes needed to launch

the weapons. Lever was very big to be operated with gloves.

Here an example of these watches that ispiring aesthetically today a modern Graham filosofy:

George Graham was an authentic genius of watchmaking invented the anchor escapement and innovative chronograph

solution, pendulum with mercury compensation, minute repeater. When Graham was alive british creations

were considered superior to those in switzerland :o .

The modern brand Graham, ironically, produces watches in switzerland :huh: but dedicating watches, unfortunately,

at wartime... and ironically also the 1st decent replica Chronofighter comes from China :rolleyes: ... and to me

by Precious Time ;) ... UK dealer :huh: !! somebody believes in coincidences?

The Chronofighter use an simply ETA Valjoux 7750 :huh: with a module added to the side of dial-face

called Graham 1722 :rolleyes: :

The caliber 1722 is one of the most interesting news of the last few years :o ... and now the 1st replica of this,

based on Asian 7750 movement <_< , is the most interesting news of the rep-scene... the rep-war is next :lol:

I believe that the pics can do justice to this replica... it's natural daylight:

This rep is very very good (45,87 MM with digital caliper) and convincing.

Some details of the construction:

I think that a single flaw should be seriously improved... the miss-aligned logo on the back (other flaw are dust or minor):

I was at the Tourneau store in White Plains last night...this watch is MASSIVE, but cool as heck! Rep looks incredibly close to the gen as I think I stood there for 8 minutes eye-screwing this thing. The guy at the store must have thought I had was nuts.

Sweet watch, its on my list. Just dont know if I should pull the trigger or wait and see if it comes out in other colours soon.

Decisions ....decisions

Nice pics as well

Have fun with it.

Cheers
