thomasng Posted July 2, 2006 Report Posted July 2, 2006 http://shopping.e-conveni.net/item_info.ht..._id=842985& Watchhonpo is selling the exact same one that EL posted for sale a few days ago. So it does seem like it has the new Asia 7750 movement! But, it seems he's selling it for less than half of his older version too...... Is this an ominous sign? From what I can see already, the He valve is different and the back engravings don't seem as deep and sharp as the first version, while the upside is the new movement and no more plastic spacer ring like the old one.
coolfire Posted July 2, 2006 Report Posted July 2, 2006 (edited) Well, as always.. more or less... of here and there... But really very good observations from you dude... Edited July 2, 2006 by coolfire
Watchmeister Posted July 2, 2006 Report Posted July 2, 2006 Questionable on the AR as well. But the movement spacer and movement itself are a huge improvement. In general I would say that those who waited (read - not me) are better off. Then again, I have been wearing mine for a couple of months. Oh well, one of these days I will learn.
TwoTone Posted July 2, 2006 Report Posted July 2, 2006 Oh well, one of these days I will learn. No you wont... But that's what makes it so fun...
kanerich Posted July 2, 2006 Report Posted July 2, 2006 I don't see anything about A/R so presume there isn't any Claims better lume that prev generation, that's always good. Promises 100m water resistance -- d'oh! Says "considering the price, the change in movement and case details we think represents an understandable tradeoff." What does that mean? I thought the last gen was Asian 7750, this is somehow worse?? I assume by case details he means the dummy date changer and he valve? Anything else a problem
sevomd Posted July 2, 2006 Report Posted July 2, 2006 There is no AR that I can note. Also the lume is no better no worse than any other rep watch I have.But the sweep of the new Asian 7750 is as smooth as a baby's butt adn iot is keeping COSC time... +2sec in 24 hours. Hope this keeps up. Eddy
leitztozeiss Posted July 2, 2006 Report Posted July 2, 2006 The chrono start pusher might as well be red and engraved, "Do Not Press" To press or not to press . . .
sevomd Posted July 2, 2006 Report Posted July 2, 2006 The chrono start pusher might as well be red and engraved, "Do Not Press" To press or not to press . . . You're right Gil. Haven't tried the chrono. May never try it. Eddy
Guest Sql_pl Posted July 2, 2006 Report Posted July 2, 2006 My Honpo 187 is powered by older asian 7750... not the 28800 version. I tried the chrono once, everything reseted correctly but I will not use the chrono from now on. Cheers!
DarthSimon Posted July 3, 2006 Report Posted July 3, 2006 Im having a prolem with my 187 7750... Wound it keeps time for 1 hour then dies.. I shake the watch up then it strats again... I fully wound the watch this morning.. Maybe 80 turns.. Should be good... Whats going on?? My Honpo 187 is powered by older asian 7750... not the 28800 version. I tried the chrono once, everything reseted correctly but I will not use the chrono from now on. Cheers!
dadog13 Posted July 3, 2006 Report Posted July 3, 2006 about the engravings...could i bring the watch to somebody who does this kind of biz...a jewler...that will do deeper engravings? or this idea is out of mind?....
