RWG Technical Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 Thanks Francisco, well done. I think they need to hire a new better micro mechanical engineer who actually understands how watches work and what it takes to make a good movement. The difference between a ok movement and an excellent one is so small, a few jewels and correct watch design... Thanks for taking the time to do this review, great pictures and details.

sammalone Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 THANK YOU for the AWESOME review!! Our dealers definitely owe u, as I'm sure everyone has been waiting for the green light to place their orders. You and The Zigmeister should be hired as consultants at the factories. THANKS again! Enjoy! Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tokei Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 Thank you, Francisco for yet another great review! In reading the reviews for the modified 7750's (daytona, portuguese, and this one), the addition of one or two (at vital gears) would make vast improvements. Given this, how challenging/difficult would it be to add a jewel to this movement? Certainly, I understand that the right tools would be necessary, but given the talent we have here, is it something that can be "reasonably" done? I must admit I'm just a novice at these things; however, after seeing some of the mods that are done here, certainly adding a jewel is possible...?

thetwins Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 Is there any chance of modding the DW to "raise" it up to a respectable height? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aqua Posted May 6, 2009 Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 hi, just received my PO chrono, i removed the back to have a look at the movement and to be honest it looks fantastic, all parts are very shiny with no scratches on the parts whatsoever, the one in this review looks very poorly made, scratches etc... I will post a pic sometime today or tomorrow hopefully. I'm sure different suppliers ship out different versions of movements manufactured by different factories, all that i can say is my movement matches the picture of the movement shown on my suppliers website when it comes to quality... Any comments.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aqua Posted May 6, 2009 Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 well i don't know a thing about movemets to be honest, but if you see 2, identical movements made in china, 1 all shiny and the other rough with no finishing, I'm sure the shiny one means more detail and care has been put into its manufacture... apart from that had mine for only a week and it works like a charm, does go 15secs fast in 1 day i must add...

geriguy Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 yes... And what about the crown (+ the tube)? Is it the same as in the older seamasters? I hope they improved something... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
