New Dewitt Rep? DeWitt Chrono 1940-

[dovo1695]

I came across this watch in one of the dealer websites. It was listed as a best seller for the week, but I haven't heard a peep about it here in the RWG. I did a search on this forum for "Dewitt" and all I came across were posts about the Academia Sequentiel. I've heard pretty good things about the Academia Sequentiel rep, but it's a bit loud for my tastes. This Chrono 1940- is a totally different story; this is an absolutely gorgeous watch and I'm surprised I haven't heard more about it here on the forum. Here are some pics: the first is a pic of the gen, the next three are pictures from the dealers website.

I think this is a really nice looking watch. IMHO the movement looks absolutely gorgeous. I couldn't find a picture of the genuine caseback for comparitive purposes. If anyone has a pic of the back, post it up.

Has anyone bought one of these; if so what are you're impressions of it. Stop me before I buy this thing.

Wrong movement spacement I think?

And it's a "Limited Edllion" too.

Good Point. It might be a little difficult to source a gen dial for a $45,000 watch of which only 50 were made LOL

On the bright side, it's pretty unlikely that I'll run into someone with Gen to compare it against!

@piratedzeus, I'm a bit of noob. What do you mean by "Wrong movement spacement I think?"

Thanks
