Guest avitt Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 Accutron VX-200 Chrono on Shnoop tonight, for $480. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ztech Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 A buddy of mine has several Accutrons and I was surprised by their quality and craftmanship. They are very good "bang for the buck" pieces and seemed high quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dylan Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 This is a ridiculous deal....the cheapest I've seen them for is around $770 - $849 online. MSRP is $1495 I just picked one up....can't resist the ETA 7750... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMK000 Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 Yes ... price is a bargain. Watch out for scammers !!! Here is review link: http://www.pmwf.com/cgi-bin/ForumArchive/w...mes;read=993174 ..... I told Mods we need a sub forum for genuines but they did want to listen. There are so many great genuines out there for the price of a Rep. Accutron is one of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest avitt Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 Yes ... price is a bargain. Watch out for scammers !!! Shnoop's not a scam. This is just a straight up screaming deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dylan Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 @avitt: thx for the link...can't wait for my new watch @AMK: thx for the link to the watch review....very cool! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephane Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 That is a real bargain indeed. A whole watch for almost the price of the mvt these days on the forums ... I'm seriously tempted. Thanks for the info Avitt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 WOW! That is a bargain for a 7750, and 200m WR to boot. Makes for a great beater, and looks good to boot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b16a2 Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 Would the movement come with a beneficial service from factory (or sealed movement that doesn't require servicing) If it does, you could buy one of these, swap the Swiss movement into something like an IWC, then put the asian into this!

Guest avitt Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 Is this shnoop legit? it looks slightly dodgy??? I've only had one (positive) experience with them. But go over to the watchuseek forums, and you'll find a bunch of guys who just wait for deals like this, and use them all the time...

freddy333 Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 Post some wrist shots when you get it...I hope the one you get has better date wheel alignment. I noticed that as well. But Bulovas are generally very well made watches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dylan Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 I think the alignment will be fine. I have this accutron that I picked up cheap on the bay...they really are a lot of watch for the money... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrgod Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 There are some good buys on genuine 7750 chronos out there. I bought this Movado Kingmatic Chronograph from TZ, 400 USD. The watch is from June 2007, all papers and hardly used.. It is not the prettiest watch I have seen, but a bargain price for a 7750 and a nice leather strap. Black datewheel.. Hmm, it would look good in an IWC 3717. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-EZ- Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 Post some wrist shots when you get it...I hope the one you get has better date wheel alignment. LOL they didn't bother to align it for the catalog photo?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crystalcranium Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 Decent watch...looked at it about 18 months ago but decided to go for a 7753 Hamilton Jazzmaster Chrono in 10 micron rose gold plate but...got rid of that eventually. The bracelet was a little too busy for me. There is no doubt this stock, unaltered (except for the rotor engraving) 7750 watch represents one of the best mechanical watch values out there.

There is no doubt this stock, unaltered (except for the rotor engraving) 7750 watch represents one of the best mechanical watch values out there. The bracelet does kind of inspire a love it or hate it reaction. But considering that it's solid stainless, 13 links and 23mm wide, there are probably more reasons to love it! If you read the comments from owners on the WUS forum, you'd learn that quite a few of them bought the watch specifically because of the bracelet. This watch has significant mass, at 44mm, and weighing 220 gr. I've read that Citizen recently purchased Bulova, which explains the recent "clearance prices" on Bulova watches.
