Pix Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 There's one thing I'd like to mention : the 21,6 K movement is NOT inferior. It's different. Look at my signature : there's a link where The Zigmeister explains the +/- of each. And the 21,6 k is basically not a bad movement, the HBB based on this movement being probably even better bases for a future gen Swiss 7750 transplant. As mentionned before, for the HBB, only the manufacturer's will (greed ?) will fix the price. The dealer's too, but with a much lower inpact IMO. That's why you won't see a "V1" for 500 USD I'm afraid. Even as a special action, as the purchasing price for the dealer is surely above. What I find interesting is that you can build your own projects already and have your HBB modded. Let me describe my modest example : 260 USD HBB lite + K22AR coating + PVD coated knurled bezel : 390 USD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mickey Padge Posted April 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 Looks like a possible deal, but why risk it? Who the hell knows those dealers? Trustworthy or not, scam site? Stick with the dealers on the board, if they do not list a watch you want, email them regarding it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hooky Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 Yep, I would never order from these dealers. But it could be a sure sign that prices from the factories are going down. As we speak I emailed my dealer from Guangzhou to check it out. Also putting some pressure on their prices by pointing at others' lower price....

Great stuff With dealers like Watchmark too, the price may end up going down some more. Although the biggest factor would be when people simply stop forking out over $1150 for a HBB rep.....

Pix Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 I just noticed one thing from the pictures. It seems that the screw that holds the rotor does not have the usual "indentation", i.e looks smooth, which makes me think it is more in the gen direction. I don't know if this was done on purpose, but I feel it's an other + for this V2. Except the dial, I'm now just wondering if the V2 wouldn't be further more accurate ?

Mickey Padge Posted April 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 Hopefully I should get it in 1 or 2 days (left on 22nd) We wait with bated breath Interesting stuff regarding the rotor, shame they don't engrave the "GOLD 750" on the back, or is that just a different version?

Pix Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 I have nothing engraved on my lite version (I mean regarding the material). And this RG is engraved as Limited Edition. I think there are many variations with the gen too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plaifender Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 Did you get the watch yet Pix? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pix Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 Sure (and fortunately !) Have a look at my signature, I made a comparison with the first version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
