Samurai Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 Just received my C1 from Josh. The finish, quality, detail on the dial, hands etc. are nothing but top quality. The watch sits very well on my wrist. I can confirm that the dial is indeed carbon fibre and has a nice 3D look to it. Still getting used to the rubber strap as the deployment buckle seems to be a bit loose. This one is definitely a contender for the rep of the year....the C1 in RG will look devastatingly good.....can't wait! <<UPDATED PICS>> Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jawo Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 Just curious how the carbon fiber is on the dial? Is it simular to that of the HBB? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samurai Posted July 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 The carbon fibre dial seems to be different from HBB. HBB carbon fibre is very pronounced....on C1, you can see the carbon fibre weave at certain angles. The AR on this watch is AMAZING.....so when I tilt it a bit to see the carbon fibre....it looks amazing....can see the proper weave in the dial. Will compare it to my HBB tonight when I get home.

geo1nah2a Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 Great watch. Wear it well and looking forward to even more pics BTW The HBB CF dial is not true Carbon Fiber... not in the rep or the genuine one. It is a CF wave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dani Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 Just curious how the carbon fiber is on the dial? Is it simular to that of the HBB? That avatar is so thaking my head away from watches. They can make this but not give us one good JLC rep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dario33 Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 Wow - very impressive. Looking forward to the updated pics! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samurai Posted July 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 Patience....updated pics shortly The lume seemed to be sorta ok...not very bright...though haven't really got a chance to test it out. Dunno how is it on the gen. This is the first 7750 watch I have that actually has perfectly fine working chrono...i.e. the minute hand changes over exactly as the seconds hand reaches 60.....rest all other watches have the min hand move over @ 56-58 sec. Could this be something to do with the regulator on the movement? (don't know what exactly a regulator is for) The rubber quality is pretty decent.....wore it the whole day today and didn't get any dust on it. The deployment clasp seems to be a bit loose. The AR is mind blowing....... More details and pics soon..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ztech Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 Awsome! The pictures on the web site doesn't do it justice from what I can see even from the celly pics.

fotoman Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 cool - definetly looks better in your pics than in the website photos. I'm still not sold on it - it looked good in the magazine, but when i saw the gen, i was just - eh this looks like a very well done watch though - Enjoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
takashi Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 I agree... I am not sold too. Too chuncky and doesn't scream high quality... The replications are excellent but I think it's just this watch doesn't call me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
