Watchmeister Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 I am guessing it is prelim picture. I would doubt those will be the final hands. Last we heard they were still trying to finalize the the dial. Well, I am ready to cannibalize my honpo of they actually make it (ar crystal, proper he valve, cg, hands etc.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beano2004 Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 Question i have a 7753 movement that i was going to use for my old case pam196 should i drop this movement in my new acquired pam187? Seems this combination is alot hotter than the pam196 combination that i was looking at earlier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronus Posted February 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 Question i have a 7753 movement that i was going to use for my old case pam196 should i drop this movement in my new acquired pam187? Seems this combination is alot hotter than the pam196 combination that i was looking at earlier. Old case PAM196, the 7753 won't work properly on the current 187s - no functional date pusher. I am guessing it is prelim picture. I would doubt those will be the final hands. Last we heard they were still trying to finalize the the dial. Well, I am ready to cannibalize my honpo of they actually make it (ar crystal, proper he valve, cg, hands etc.) They can take a few more weeks, today I lost my job.

Chronus Posted March 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2007 I have a new job but not PAM187 yet I guess I can still wait, money situation is never perfect eh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbadbrad Posted March 25, 2007 Report Share Posted March 25, 2007 Having held this watch in my hand I would go higher if required upto a $1k. The quality and finish is incredible on this particular rep and far higher than any other rep to date. It will set the benchmark for others to come. A great watch, for sure - intrigued at this idea.

swemoose Posted April 22, 2007 Report Share Posted April 22, 2007 Has anybody heard anything new? Moose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronus Posted April 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 Bits and pieces... looks like Josh's pics a while back were real, but the watch isn't too great... so who knows if they will sort it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snow Dog Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 This watch is advertised as a Swiss ETA movement. Can anyone tell if the movement is really Swiss? The guy selling these on iOffer is new and has 0 feedback so I am extra-skeptical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 It is Asian 7750 - or at least certainly not a Swiss 7753. Recessed datewheel and wrong size and placement of the date window. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest asad Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 I would take one if the date wheel is correct font and the HE valve is correct also. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 I went to the trouble to try and achieve it. Started with a Honpo 187 which has a fabulous case, crystal and proper He valve and then tried to fit the 7753 dial from the later 7753 version which has a horrible case with a Swiss 7753 movement and ended up with unhappy ending as the dials were sized differently. I would let this one go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
