Watchmeister Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 Pick Your Poison: Version 1: Honpo 187 - Best case, crystal, dial, proper engraved he valve but worst movement - first generation A7750. It is no longer sold by dealer. Has to be bought in secondhand market and may be difficult to find. Version 2: 7750 187 - Inferior to above but has newer and more reliable A7750. Readily available from most dealers. Version 3: 7753 187 - Proper movement so working quickset date button. Case is based off of version 2 but IMHO not as good. I know King sells this one. I don't know about anyone else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronus Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 (edited) only good version is the genuine... the reps are approximations of the real thing but not quite there. The Asian 7750 copy Rep has recessed date, non-working dateset pusher, incorrect Helium release valve, wrong date font, slightly incorrect dial, no AR etc. Markers have been known to fall off the bezel, while the Watchonpo version had screwed in markers but with a thin plating that was easily polished off the markers to reveal the material below... The 7753 has a cheap case (read kruzer's review). If you like the watch and don't want a super-accurate rep, go for it...
