Noel Fleischer Posted August 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2008 (edited) chrono or non-chrono? Good question- i thought they were all chronos. if its not - is it still a good deal? i know that it has the white (or yellow on the rehaut) Edited August 23, 2008 by Noel Fleischer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobbieG Posted August 23, 2008 Report Share Posted August 23, 2008 There is not a big difference in the list prices believe it or not. It always surprised me as chronos in anything are usually considerably more. The non-chrono on bracelet is $5200 and the chrono is $5700. On rubber they are a thousand less respectively. So either way, the deal seems too good to be true. What is the condition of the watch? Even at discount houses the non chrono on rubber is still over 3K. By the way, if the rehaut lume strip is white the watch is steel and if it is yellow it is Ti. Same prices for either. If you have a chance to get it for even twice that grab it if in good condition. Sounds like a steal to me. I just LOVE my Ti chrono. ..

b16a2 Posted August 23, 2008 Report Share Posted August 23, 2008 For that price I wouldn't think twice. If it's a genuine and a trusty dealer go for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellomen Posted August 24, 2008 Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 chrono or non-chrono ... buy it if it's genuine. If you don't like it i'll gladly take it from you for the same price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FxrAndy Posted August 24, 2008 Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 Get it, BTW one reason for the prices being very close it that the chrono uses a 7750 that is bought in and the non chrono uses an in house 30110 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pugwash Posted August 24, 2008 Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 Get it, BTW one reason for the prices being very close it that the chrono uses a 7750 that is bought in and the non chrono uses an in house 30110 iirc, the 30110 is a 2892 with IWC bits. The 7750 used in the chronos is just as heavily reworked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fakemaster Posted August 24, 2008 Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 Isn't that the one from Miami Vice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobbieG Posted August 24, 2008 Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 No. The Miami Vice one is a lot like mine, except that it is a split minute chronograph. It is also titanum with the yellow accents, but has an in house split minute movement instead of the 7750 Ebauche. It differs visually in that instead of the day and date at three it has only the logo and has just the numeric date at 6. The starndard chrono like mine and the Slevin is 42MM and the split minute is a larger 44MM - like the Cousteau chronos. Isn't that the one from Miami Vice?
