mjmurphy926 Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 I have been concentrating on PAMs lately and was on silix's site checking things out when I came across this: http://www.silix-prime.com/product.asp?id=1755 I was eyeing this watch several months ago, but like I said above, been doing the PAM thing, and since I seem to be unable to focus on more than one thing at a time, I kind of lost interest. That is until I saw the price of this from silix. Hope it turns out nice...I'll let you all know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strattakan Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 The DW font in this carrera is crap. Looks like Times New Roman... Compare with this one: http://www.puretimewatch.com/index.php?pro...cture_id=164040 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Compare with this one: http://www.puretimewatch.com/index.php?pro...cture_id=164040 I agree it's crap, but so is the one you link to. It's still not at all like the gen. If that's the only difference, why pay an extra $70 for something that's still incorrect? At least I hope that's the only differance. . Do you know otherwise? Besides, I have an ETA 7750 date wheel that I bought months ago to swap into an SMP chrono. If this watch turns out as I hope, I will swap into this one instead.

Well, in this case, to my knowledge the rest of the watch looks similar (forgetting the movt details). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strattakan Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 looking this: http://www.comerciovirtua.com/Imagens/Prod...r-Carrera-2.jpg - the DW of the other looks very similar... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's hard to tell from the pix, but I think the rep you are looking at has the standard Asian 7750 date wheel. The font is more rounded than the gen which uses a standard ETA 7750 date wheel...I think. . Thanks for the input. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
