Mickey Padge Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 Does anybody "have an Opinion" about this watch reliability in the long run? Too soon to say, it has only been out a short while, but seeing how it is the same, newer, high beat 7750, but with an added regulator, I think we should be OK. It does not have any extra gears or functions added to it, just your standard 6, 9, 12 7750 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazzman Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 As the watch is already reviewed above I will just publish some nice pictures. IMHO this is one of the best looking reps I have seen (except the HBB),. eventhough it might not be 100% accurate. - tazz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richard lawton Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 Hi All Just received mine today, and I have to admit it's one of the best replicas i've seen to date, both finish and quality are exceptional. Checked the timing, running at +3/4 sec per day all chronos reset perfectly. These watches are getting better & better!!!!!!! Very impressed with this one Regards Richard Lawton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subzero1 Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 OK, I ordered one too, based on this thread These pics are all awesome. Should be here this week, along w/my replacement Porsche flat 6 red dial and Graham Chronofighter white dial. Should all be here in the next few days.

Antonio_Montana Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 looks real good! Amazing rep. Although the design is not my style, way to busy dail, it looks nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazzman Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 The rubberstrap is vanilla-scented and much more dust-repelling than on the Grand Turismo XL I have. I have also just ordered a couple of nice leatherstraps to change the rubber with (panatime + BOB's) .. I will post pics in a week or two .. total strap-order amount stopped at $700 .. damn! haha - tazz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dvn Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 Just got mine (Black dial) today. The holes on the strap is much smaller than the pin, How did you get it in? Any help is appreciated. Edit: I got it. Supposed to unscrewed the pin. This thing is Beautiful and Huge. This is the best i have since in quality so far. Here are my wrist shots. The biggest of all rep that i had.

robertk Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 Just got mine today. The holes on the strap is much smaller than the pin, How did you get it in? Any help is appreciated. I also received mine today. The pin is actually a screw. unscrew it with a small eyeglass screwdriver, stick pin through the strap hole and screw in the screw. Be careful that screw is tiny and you'll end up dropping it several times (I did) before you get it right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did a quick review here: http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showtopic=70342 You know what MP.. IMHO it looks ok on your wrist.. I really don't think any of the "Big Watches" were meant to be equal in size to one's wrist.. sheesh the genuine companies would never sell them all... I think this fact is overlooked.. seems like people equate watch size to wrist size... i think the "oversized" is meant to be just that.. and not to alway's fit into the diameter of one's wrist... or maybe it's a macho Freudian thingi... This is going to be a banner year for reps being made from genuine samples so don't worry I'm sure there will be more than enough to choose from.. count on it !!!!

I thougt that if the lugs were wider than your wrist it was a no go? I suppose it is a personal preference... Your right, I am sure i will find something new soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your right, I am sure i will find something new soon Wonder who set that norm about the lug vs. wrist size.. if that's the case a large portion of the population should have the fashion police alerted... didn't the big watches start out with pocket watch movements and not just to fit those with Neandertahal limbs??? nothing against people with pituatary gland problems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newdoc Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 I don't think you should have Mickey. It looks pretty killer..... In reference to watch size: I think most of us would agree that watch size is all about preference and the 49mm+ watches arent just for huge people. I do agree that lugs shouldnt overhang the wrist, though. There lies the line between oversized and ridiculous to me....but I am just one man...

Mickey Padge Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 Aww man, I thought it was too big. What do you think guys? It would have been my largest watch.. It was a quick decision, maybe I hould have thought about it longer.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
