yodap Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 Hi there, just wanted to share some pics, and do a little 'review' of it, or something like that: I chose the blue dial version, although it's not the perfect color, but anyway, if you hold a black rep next to a black gen, you will spot the difference, so I didn't care. Once gen dials will get available, I'll be the first to get one The blue goes nice with jeans or whatever, a great watch for everyday use! So here the pics: (sorry, the system didn't let me embed the pics for some unknown reason) http://img33.imageshack.us/img33/6834/img0224z.jpg http://img33.imageshack.us/img33/6834/img0224z.jpg http://img42.imageshack.us/img42/5990/img001.tif Some movement shots, you see something nice, don't you? http://img32.imageshack.us/img32/134/200520091029.jpg http://img195.imageshack.us/img195/346/200520091027.jpg http://img34.imageshack.us/img34/2595/200520091028.jpg I hope you enjoyed it, for me this is as good as the real thing, especially if a gen dial will be fitted. Not to mention it cost less 1/6 the price of a gen, I think I've done it right. Greetz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Javelin Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 That is one sexy watch. No reason to buy anything 'gen' unless you buy the entire gen. This is a V2 from Josh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yodap Posted May 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 Yes, it's a V2, I bought it here from a member, but it's the same as Josh's, they come from the same factory. Adding a gen dial would make the watch almost indistinguishable from the gen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
repoarama Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 Beautiful watch! Enjoy it. I plan on purchasing a Skyland soon. What did you pay for your V2? Thanks, Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yodap Posted May 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 I paid 180 bucks with broken movement, this was a good deal for me, as I planned to swap the A7750 for ETA7750. The case itself was like new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The case itself was like new. What you planning on doing with the broken movement? (I'd be interested in it) p.s. sweet watch by the way!

yodap Posted May 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 It isn't broken 'that much' , the hour and minute wheels are loose, so these hands don't move. Chrono and small second works, everything is alright with it, and has over 40 hrs power reserve. I might keep it for parts as I have 2 A7750 powered watches, but maybe I'll sell it. Don't know it yet BTW, it has the 12-9-6 config, so it isn't good for the navi datewheel raising project May I ask what do you need it for? Greetz.
