Balosch Posted June 24, 2008 Report Posted June 24, 2008 Cause of the balance wheel and the "incabloc" shok protection I think it should be an asian!!!
scoobs1971 Posted June 24, 2008 Report Posted June 24, 2008 Apart from the discussion 'how Swiss is a Swiss rep these days' I would say this is Asian by the type of shock protector used....
takashi Posted June 24, 2008 Report Posted June 24, 2008 It's an Asian movement. Yes, balance wheel shape and shock protector
FxrAndy Posted June 24, 2008 Report Posted June 24, 2008 Also the CDG finish looks too rough to be swiss
ReMo Posted June 24, 2008 Author Report Posted June 24, 2008 Good god, your fast Thank you so much for the prompt replies. I nearly ordered this: 177H Asian Swan neck from Joshua, when I saw the "Swiss" on iOffer. The iOffer seller also states that it is Sapphire, and Josh's is Synthetic Sapphire (coated miniral) But if it is asian like Josh's, I think I will go with him. Again, thank you
Pugwash Posted June 24, 2008 Report Posted June 24, 2008 The iOffer seller also states that it is Sapphire, and Josh's is Synthetic Sapphire (coated miniral) Oh, how little white lies bite back.
P4GTR Posted June 24, 2008 Report Posted June 24, 2008 177H from Joshua. I ordered without swan, but got one anyways. Your experience may vary.
PAMman Posted June 24, 2008 Report Posted June 24, 2008 Yep, it's Asian. However, even the 'most Swiss' of the Panerai style movements is largely Asian anyway, so it seems somewhat pointless to put any significant weight on the Swiss origin of the base movements.
bluerex Posted June 24, 2008 Report Posted June 24, 2008 Just go with Joshua regardless. I bought the 177H from him 2 weeks ago and I am happy with it.
Fish Posted June 25, 2008 Report Posted June 25, 2008 The movement is a Seagull with the old needle swan neck regulation, no ETA stamp visible. Besides that, with a 21.600bph movement and correct OP XI bridges there wouldn
ReMo Posted June 26, 2008 Author Report Posted June 26, 2008 Ok, that's it. I have just placed an order for the asian swanneck 177H, from Perfect Clones. And so begins the quest for a nice vintage 24/22 strap, and a good EU based lumer. Thank you all for your help
cib0rgman Posted June 26, 2008 Report Posted June 26, 2008 What about the 177H from davidsen is it Swiss at all..
