Dario33 Posted July 13, 2006 Report Share Posted July 13, 2006 So are we calling for a boycott of the 7750 version? I hate to do that to our wonderful dealers we have here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dadog13 Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 It will be solved right around the time people stop buying the 7750 version. It is funny how it works that way. that will take some time...it is difficult to find a lot of people willing to pay 600-700 or more for a rep... the 187 with 7750 will fall down on price for sure...it is already around 300$....and for that price it is more than ok... for the 7753...you'll wait just as much as we waited for the 7750 version...so get the 7750 and then replace it with the newer version when it comes out...

Chronus Posted July 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 I'm gonna keep waiting until the 7753 version is out... no 7750 version for me or I would have got it already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watcher Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 Just to add that after stripping down my 187 to AR coat the crystal it would appear the date pusher hole is right through the case so the possibility is there for a 7753 movement.

Watchmeister Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 Watcher- Mine has the same hole for the spacer. I have no doubt there will be a 7753. Same lifecycle as 196's. Not alot of money in the 7750 187's anymore so I am guessing (and I stress guess) that they will be here sooner rather than later. In this case "greed is good".

In this case "greed is good". just received this message from ken Dear Eric, Sorry for the late reply. Unfortunately, we are still in the process of developing the PAM187 with 7753 movement. We will make an announcements at our web pages on the following at the release date. http://www.etaworldgoods.com (English sub page) http://shopping.e-conveni.net/index.html?cart_num=1743 (main Japanese page) Please feel free to let me know if you have any questions regarding our products. Thank you. Best Regards, KEN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted July 15, 2006 Report Share Posted July 15, 2006 Not to scare everyone but there is a blank space on the first Watchonpo page and the price shows 100,000 yen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ehtolcad Posted July 15, 2006 Report Share Posted July 15, 2006 from ken's site: ￥100000JPY ( OUT OF STOCK) will be re-stocking in next few weeks. re-stocking not new stocks, perhaps it certainly would be a nice stocking stuffer though!

Watchmeister Posted July 16, 2006 Report Share Posted July 16, 2006 Here is the big news. I heard back from Ken on another matter and here is what he said concerning the 7753 version: We are still in the process of developing that version of PAM187 swiss7753. I will make an announcements on the release date so please keep in mind. Time to start saving those pennies (oops I mean dollars). I am sure it will not be cheap but I can't wait.

docblackrock Posted July 16, 2006 Report Share Posted July 16, 2006 The hunt is on!!! 100,000 JPY = >850 USD = 680 EUR Jeez, that's a lot of moolah for a rep, 7753 or not. For that price I would pray it has the correct datefont (unlike the 196/188s) and no other visible flaws. Me, I'll leave this big game to you fellas, got a couple of rare vintage beasts in my sights Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronus Posted July 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2006 People are saying 700-800 so we'll see what happens. So far I've heard there are problems with the pusher there. Watchmakers are not keen on making a functional pusher there as the Asian 7750 cannot handle that facility, but if Watchonpo releases one, I think others will follow.

Chronus Posted July 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2006 Seems like there could be a 3rd case out.... possibly... Hopefully it is set up for the ETA 7753. It does have the bezel markers screwed in and not glued so that's something. I'm off from tomorrow and probably tonight, too busy packing so hopefully good news when I get back!
