oscarmadfish Posted October 12, 2008 Author Report Posted October 12, 2008 CASE DIAMETER: 51mm X 47mm ???
alphakazi Posted October 12, 2008 Report Posted October 12, 2008 CASE DIAMETER: 51mm X 47mm ??? yea, considering the subdails don't work - I can't understand why they needed a custom case - I can only guess it has something to do with fitting a large movement
greg_r Posted October 12, 2008 Report Posted October 12, 2008 Have a hunt around - you'll find it cheaper. CQout is probably worth a look. Try Tonyxkf too... Frankly, if I wanted to do this one on a budget, I'd go for the quartz version. 21js really ain't terribly satisfactory for chrono watches imho.
greg_r Posted October 12, 2008 Report Posted October 12, 2008 CASE DIAMETER: 51mm X 47mm ??? uhm - the gen is 43.5.
Luthier Posted October 12, 2008 Report Posted October 12, 2008 CASE DIAMETER: 51mm X 47mm ??? BS. It's 43mm, I measured.

Weyman sells quartz chrono for about $50 or even less, I saw a few in his office, and it's very, very beautiful watches. http://www.goec5.com/product.asp?nid=233&tj=&page=2
alphakazi Posted October 12, 2008 Report Posted October 12, 2008 anyone speaking of quartz should be automatically banned - I see the seconds hand "ticking" from a mile away - literally a mile, i have really good sight if you want a working $50 chrono - buy a casio
alphakazi Posted October 12, 2008 Report Posted October 12, 2008 I wrote that wearing a quartz movement OMG LOL but I have an excuse - I know better now and would never buy anything quartz after seeing what you can have for $100 just the thought of that little $3 movement made of plastic... I'll only wear the quartz around the house doing some work - I'm renovating my gf office atm

There's no second hand - running seconds are on one of those inset wheels. Personally I can spot a constantly-sweeping chrono hand from a mile and a half away...... If you don't want quartz, either buy more expensive watches, or quit buying chronos. End of story.
alphakazi Posted October 12, 2008 Report Posted October 12, 2008 my gen navi has it's chrono hand constantly moving - the way I like it from my experience, most people will think your watch is fake if they don't see any hands moving or if they see a ticking hand - very few know anything bout watches people admire that smooth sweeping hand - it's a noobs method of spotting fakes imo
greg_r Posted October 12, 2008 Report Posted October 12, 2008 my gen navi has it's chrono hand constantly moving - the way I like it ah, you're one of those are you? That explains everything from my experience, most people will think your watch is fake if they don't see any hands moving or if they see a ticking hand - very few know anything bout watches uh - and very few care. But the few who DO know and care about the difference between Casio and Breitling will immediately think it's fake. Way to go, mate

I mean what the people think. I love it - I wear it.
Noel Fleischer Posted October 13, 2008 Report Posted October 13, 2008 (edited) i have to say there are some really good gen quartz chronos including the Tag and Porsche Design. i have the Tag and its good for a travel watch- tough, always works, looks good and water proof. it even has 1/10 sec chrono timer. i have about 50 watches, mostle automatic and it a pain keeping them all running.

Luthier Posted October 13, 2008 Report Posted October 13, 2008 uhm - the gen is 43.5. My Carrera that I bought in GZ - diameter 43,5mm. I took caliper to measure it precisely.
greg_r Posted October 13, 2008 Report Posted October 13, 2008 Personally I don't give a damn, is it shaken or stirred... I mean what the people think. I love it - I wear it. Works for me
alphakazi Posted October 13, 2008 Report Posted October 13, 2008 $10 millions house, and... Carrera??? Such a man should wear at least $100,000 watch to keep reputation. Unless your an actor or some type of artist or sports star, to get a $10mil home, you'll have to manage your money very well and make a good deal of smart moves in your life - a $100,000 watch may not be one of them having said that, with that type of money, I'd have a hard time not buying a $500,000 Zenith Zero-G
