Help needed please...Thinking about buying a SW200 5711R

[chris9]

Thinking about buying a 5711R with SW200, but $500 is a lot of money.
This is the one:


From those who have a SW200 5711,
Is it worth the money?
Is it a high build quality? I know it is a rep and will not be perfect, but is it as good as the latest AP 15400's?

Any advice/thoughts much appreciated.

It will always be inaccurate due to the open caseback.
Also some noticed different color of blue dial from gen.
I went for the asian clone and happy with it

Edit: sorry, didn't see the pic yesterday :facepalm:
Btw that watch looks fantastic!

Why buying the SW200 version ? same watch whit the A2824 is 150$ less... and the A2824 isn't a uggly movement

I would go with A2824 too. Same build quality and You can use the 150 for a LPV strap

I too, would go with the A2824 mvmt. ask for the nice rotor (curvy+decorated). You can use the 150 for a strap, or for servicing.

is the color of the dial better - i mean darker or closer to the gen then the A2824 movement?

oh and if you request the nice curved rotor how much will it cost extra?

 

[kilowattore]

Dial is the same AFAIK, I also don't think you pay extra for the curved rotor, it's just the new batch.

Is this a Brown dial one or a grey version. I have been looking for a Brown dial version for ages.

This is the Brown/RG version, any TD should be able to get it.
