Balosch Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 Cause of the balance wheel and the "incabloc" shok protection I think it should be an asian!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobs1971 Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share 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.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
takashi Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 It's an Asian movement. Yes, balance wheel shape and shock protector Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FxrAndy Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 Also the CDG finish looks too rough to be swiss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMo Posted June 24, 2008 Author Report Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P4GTR Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 177H from Joshua. I ordered without swan, but got one anyways. Your experience may vary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAMman Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share 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 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Just go with Joshua regardless. I bought the 177H from him 2 weeks ago and I am happy with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReMo Posted June 26, 2008 Author Report Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cib0rgman Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 What about the 177H from davidsen is it Swiss at all.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
