b16a2 Posted April 12, 2009 Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 As the title suggests, King has just listed the new TH Carrera but with correct case size, and also double AR. It looks pretty good; I can't seem to link straight to it, but the site is www.kingwatches.net Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxim Posted April 12, 2009 Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 The Date Font just looks so wrong on it, good that progress is being made. Definitely the way forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

morlock Posted April 12, 2009 Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 b16a2, sure I am, the factories read my review and listen to my suggestion for a new version. Based on the good work the factories did with the "reduce" version, for sure this is going to get a high score. But this mean I have to replace my 41 mm version sooner than I think. Well, ups and downs in the rep aficionado's life. It's good to see the factories also correct the rotor (as I pointed in my review) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amarmak Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 Also starting to get up on other rep dealers... here it is at perfect clones http://www.jpc8118.com/00000000000tgca0011...750-p-5947.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morlock Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 Yes, it just land at Trusty Time HERE. I just realize about the price, I think I was too excited before and skip the price on the dealers' pages. Anyway I'm going to pull the trigger more sooner than later, but well venting is still free.

cskent69 Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 I have my eye on this one as well. My problem is, that the A7750 never handles the Day wheel very well. I have had numerous reps with both Day and Date, and the Day wheel is always "loose and floppy". Meaning, even after changing the wheel to ETA's (to get the right font) and servicing the movement (by our esteemed friends), the Day wheel still moves around in the window. It will hang low when the watch is right side up, or tilt high when upside down. I guess that day gear is not well refined. I had to solve this by changing to genuine ETA7750's (expensive) or selling the watch. I have to really LOVE something to put a genuine 7750 in it. I wish they would fix this.

PaulVanDyk Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 +1 on the review i said it all along that if they correct the size I'm game!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
importr Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 I'll hang on for the White dial version....and then I'll be putting an (already sourced) ETA 7750 in it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulVanDyk Posted April 30, 2009 Report Share Posted April 30, 2009 digitalnrg over at RG already got it (black dial version) here are some quick pix of his new acquisition looks nice....hope the white dial version is to follow shortly http://repgeek.com/showthread.php?p=727585#post727585 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digitalnrg Posted April 30, 2009 Report Share Posted April 30, 2009 Guys, here are some quick pics I just snapped earlier. Better pics to follow if I receive my new camera soon. This came directly from King. Having owned the previous incorrect version, this is a major upgrade in terms of the weight, feel, dial, case back and size of course. In addition, the bracelet is a solid upgrade since it doesn't pop out on the top and the quality is super just like the bracelet you often find on the Tag SLR version. If you own a BCE, this watch is probably about the same size and weight. I'm not much of a reviewer so cant wait for someone to do a complete write up soon for this beautiful piece. Thanks for viewing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koolkul Posted April 30, 2009 Report Share Posted April 30, 2009 Thanks for the pics - that looks good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
importr Posted April 30, 2009 Report Share Posted April 30, 2009 That looks very good! The amount of AR blue tint on the dealer pics was making me a lttle apprehensive....but it seems ok on yours I can't wait to get mine! I was at the AD yesterday, they had the previous Carrera and the new Carrera DD side by side, the DD looks significantly bigger. Strangely, no ADs seem to have the genuine white dial version yet! Hmmmmm btw, D/nrg.....what size is the strap at the lugs, please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digitalnrg Posted May 1, 2009 Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 It is 22mm lug size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morlock Posted May 1, 2009 Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 Great pics, thanks for sharing. Looks like the red paint details are in brighter tone than the red in my 41 mm version. Now I am in troubles, should I get this beauty or the Ebel 1911 that was on top in my shopping list ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
