Corgi Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 I wonder if this uses the timebomb Daytona S@6 movement or if its a reworked version. If it is the latter, then we can expect a reliable Daytona to be released any day now. Fingers crossed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piratedzeus Posted March 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 My bet is quartz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAMman Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 My bet is quartz. Yeah, judging by the sub-dial placement it has to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dvn Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 It listed as Quartz at King's site Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vric Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 (edited) Miyota or ISA Quartz by subdial Placement.. (btw they are mis-labeled) But hey ! I like this watch, but not enough to spend $320 on it. It could be a fun watch for the price ! Edited March 28, 2008 by vric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andreww Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 BTW, $340 for a quartz? I think I'll pass! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anton Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 My guess is that it uses an ETA 251.262 movement. The same one that is in the Tag Heuer F1 and like the one in the Breitling Chrono Avenger M1 (although that is Thermoline). There are both a centre seconds and minute hands. Gen retails for $2-2.5K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andreww Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 Also, looking at the images I posted, the bezel insert appears to have two angles to it on the gen. The rep appears to be a flat slope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
italiano17771 Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 on top of the insane price....the gen sells for $1300 brand new!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vric Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 $340 ??? pricier than the auto ? hahahahaha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andreww Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 Not pricier than the auto. That is King's price! Quartz = $340 Auto= $380 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrgod Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 (edited) A really good looking watch, personally I actually like it even better than the 7750 version. It most likely has the same quartz movement as the Tag Heuer Indy and Breitling Chrono Colt replicas, with a 1/10 seconds totalizer@2 o'clock. 27 jewels, according to the movement picture on Kings site! The price seems weird as the Indy replica cost less that 150 USD... But I remember the Indy was available both with ETA quartz and Japanese quartz. Maybe genuine ETA quartz have been more expensive.

Dario33 Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 Looks good, but I still prefer the 7750 version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMK000 Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 340 USD ????? Sure its the price for three of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pix Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 I have usually nothing against quartz... But for the price, it's indeed sick ! Besides, but that's a question of taste, this chrono looks "standard" against the original subdials design on the auto version. Not worth more than 200-250 dollars, but just because the case and strap are very good. Quartz (even Swiss quartz >> most often Ronda and not ETA) are cheap.

lanikai Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 I already passed on this one.. it is a Swiss Quartz.. I just cannot get over the jerk in the SS hand.. makes me feel [censored].. why is S-p-a-s-t-i-c censored ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ant Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 Is it me or are all the new reps increasing in price? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anton Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 Is it me or are all the new reps increasing in price? Consider this example: Last year (this day), A USD $298 rep is worth about 2,304 Yuan. Today, A USD $298 rep is worth about 2,089 Yuan. In order for the seller to sell his product for the same price as he did last year, his price would increase by $30 USD. Thus, what would normally cost $298 in 2007 costs $328 today.

jj69 Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 (edited) Where are you guys seeing a $340 price for this quartz rep? Neither PC nor King's site have a price listed. I don't see how this could cost much more than $150. The street price of the gen seems to be about $1,295. The major flaw in this one, as Andreww pointed out, appears to be the inner bezel. The gen slopes at two different angles, while the rep seems to slope at just one angle. The first thing I noticed was the date font. The gen uses a custom font, just like the 7750 version. However, I also found some photos of the gen with standard font, just like the rep. My guess is the early gens used the standard ETA quartz font.

KB Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 why is S-p-a-s-t-i-c censored ? Must have been they way you said it. Everyone needs to call their own shots but if a rep even approaches $200 it better have a mechanical movement in it for me. Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see how this could cost much more than $150. The street price of the gen seems to be about $1,295. I think the rep manufacturers might read the time on a Quartz Porsche Design for the next few years... (if the battery doesn't leak) Make it 200 USD, maybe it will raise buyers interest... I don't see anyone choosing the Quartz for the same price (or more) as the auto movement. Sillix has the A7750 for 310 and Watchmark for 325...

vric Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 The price of the movement is about $75 from ETA.. Since most Quartz at $120 and less use a $10 movement... Anyway, $340 is way too expensive for a Quartz Rep. (I think the most expensive was the Chanel at that price, but it was full ceramic !)
