joint05 Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 datewheel sucks!!!!! but the rest is looking fine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrgod Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 Not bad. For once the slide rule seems to be aligned! *EDIT* The sunken datewheel is due to the extra gears added to the 7750 for moving the chrono 30 minutes counter from 12 'o clock to 3 'o clock. Here is the gen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raymo Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 (edited) Datewheel is a real BIG giveaway... not for me thanks. Edited December 5, 2008 by Raymo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b16a2 Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 Datewheel is a real BIG giveaway... not for me thanks. With a watch with a dial as complicated as that, I wouldn't worry too much, the datewheel font is the last thing anyone other than us nitpickers would notice!

italiano17771 Posted December 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 i think the datefont looks pretty damn good, but it needs to be centered. the Dw being sunken was inevitable since we have not yet repped a 7753 mvmt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geestyleed Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 Mh I wanted to buy this one as a gen once. Now here is my chance to get one in 2009 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertk Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 Datewheels will always be sunken on 7750's. Not a big tell at all unless you're one of us. Anyone looking at this watch would be amazed at the quality and almost NO ONE could tell it's a fake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Limestone Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 I see that the tachymeter is aligned at the number 25. In difference to my Navitimer where it's not aligned. Is this new for this model, or is the new navis also aligned? (mine is about 2 years old) The date wheel doesn't bother me. Don't think that so many people can spot that it's "sunken", if they'r not into watches like we are .. Otherwise it looks great... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andreww Posted December 6, 2008 Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 Looks just about perfect but for the sunken datewheel. Note that the date window is also much smaller than the gen, as the datewheel is slightly more inboard on the rep movement. The gen datewindow cuts in to the seconds lines at the bottom, the reps comes nowhere close. But, we all knew that would be a flaw on this one, and aside from that I don think it could be any better. For all you potential buyers please be aware that this one can only be worn with the bracelet, noo leather or rubber for this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MADRED7 Posted December 6, 2008 Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 mmhh, another nice BRTLG.....I was looking at a watchbook last week and this one caught my eye just because of its size......I think I Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bibbs Posted December 6, 2008 Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 I really like that .. the only other thing I can see si on the gen, the center red printed dial has two gaps at 35 and 65, where the rep doesn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CY0811 Posted December 6, 2008 Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 This has 26mm lugs right? Also the date wheel being sunken in will bother me only because I know there other reps out there whch have less flaws...even though I love the size/look of this....I may go for something without this IMO glaring flaw since it will bother me a bit when I look down at it.

Dave123 Posted December 6, 2008 Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 The bracelet has the tin look like the rep pro2 bracelet has,to me. The rest looks fine but i would have to pass due to the bracelet,will see what others think when somebody gets one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MADRED7 Posted December 8, 2008 Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 I do like it...STILL like it. That watch was now put on my wanted-list....but I fear I will have to add some more watches on that list in the next weeks Theo P.S.: And this time I Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bibbs Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 (edited) I assume that there is no method to "pad" the datewheel out so it is closer to the dial? Lke making it thicker so it would stand out from the top of the movement more. Edited December 10, 2008 by Bibbs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yodap Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 Unfortunately no. Here you can see why: http://www.auctiva.com/hostedimages/showim...,0&format=0 Greetz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bibbs Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 I thought there may be something overlapping the datewheel, but I thought I'd ask. Shame they can't put a thin spacer round the edge of the datewheel and then put another on top. Leaving a groove for the cogs to turn in. Would make re-assembling a nightmare though.

yodap Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 Thanks. I've found it on the bay when I was looking for ETA! http://cgi.ebay.com/ASIAN-CHRONOGRAPH-AUTO...93%3A1|294%3A50 A7750 But the seller tells it's not ETA. Greetz.
