lotsofgears1 Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 (edited) Hi guys great forum ! My first post here sorry for all the pictures, But they are worth a thousands words. Can you please help ? I just got this rep for 275us is there better out there ? Maybe trusty has better or the same ? It is Suppose to be an asain 7750 movement in here the chrono does work that really all I know for sure. Please your taughts and comments I am seeking a higher quality rep if it exist Thanks Edited August 12, 2008 by lotsofgears1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By-Tor Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 Your watch most likely has the Asian 7750 seconds at '6 in it. Read this. PS: Welcome to the forum! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 Welcome & congrads on the new Daytona. Based on what I can make out in your pictures, your rep looks pretty good to me. I would lose the box & green sticker on the caseback though. Neither looks right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfreeman420 Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 The watch looks pretty good and the $275 you paid isn't too bad. It is probably a modified asian 7750 with the running seconds at 6:00. The only thing that you could do better on is the subdials. The rings are too fat. They do make versions of this with a better dial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lotsofgears1 Posted August 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 Thanks for the quik reply is this the same quality that we can get from local friends on here like 1088 or trusty ? Or is theres better same or lower quality ? I did see that review by-tor already its very good Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noel Fleischer Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 it looks pretty good, where did you get it? i wouldn't bother trying to do better, they're pretty much the same and for the ball park price. as you probably know- this rep, if it is sec@ 6, is prone to problems anyway. why don't you try something else, there are plenty out there that will be more reliable. good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lotsofgears1 Posted August 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 I bought it off a guy from craigslist who orders them from overseas he had a bunch of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By-Tor Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 Have you tried the chrono? Unscrew the stopwatch button (upper one) and start the stopwatch. Does it function ok? I'm just curious because this rep was available as a "frozen stopwatch" version. And I agree with Freddy, throw that box away... it looks awfully fake.

ubiquitous Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 Definitely looks like a secs @ 6:00 7750; the case has the slim profile with low rehaut. As a result, the crown sits pretty low in the CG's. Here's the one I just built for a relative... Same issue with the crown position...

lotsofgears1 Posted August 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 Yes the chrono works but when I unscrew the crown it clicks and feels very grainy. Very hard to pull the crown out to adjust the time have to pull it out just right not to impressed with the quality. Also is the lens saphire or plastic I can't tell it seems to be plastic looking ? I wouldn't mind paying more for a better quality rep if it existed Next on my list is the sub with the black face and green dial just trying to figure out where I can get the best one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfreeman420 Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 Next on my list is the sub with the black face and green dial just trying to figure out where I can get the best one Usually that comes before the daytona LOL. I think what you mean is a green bezel and black dial. This is the LV submariner. There are many versions on the market but I believe the best are the noob, MBK and bk versions. Do some research there are many topics on this subject. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impossible to tell from your pictures. But the gen & most of the 7750-powered reps are sapphire.

lotsofgears1 Posted August 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 Just noticed the with the chrono running the minute and hour accumulators don't work at all they just move alittle is that normal ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 Just noticed the with the chrono running the minute and hour accumulators don't work at all they just move alittle is that normal ? Yes. The minute totalizer (subdial at 3) is graduated in 30 minute increments (1 complete sweep of that subdial = 30 minutes). Each time the large, center chronograph seconds hand makes 1 complete sweep of the dial, the minute totalizer should move 1 increment on its scale. After the minute totalizer completes 2 sweeps of its scale (60 minutes), the hour totalizer (subdial at 9) should move to the 1st mark on its scale, denoting 1 hour. (The subdial at 6 is the watch's running seconds hand - this should be running constantly on the current Daytona 1165xx model.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lotsofgears1 Posted August 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 The minute totalizer moves only 2 minutes over then gets stuck. The hour totalizer seems to work however, I did contact my seller and we are suppose to be meeting today for a full refund. So back to the drawing board hopefully he comes through.
