Hello everyone! Im very interested to buy it, anyone has the rep watch?
Ordered it in blue from Ryan. I'm still a little on the fence about the subdial gap, but hey if you want perfection buy the real thing :D. Will post once I have QC pics.

I wonder if I can buy the rubber straps only.
I ordered a red one from Aliexpress, should be here in a few weeks, just in time for the watch' arrival. Made for calibre 01, not sure what the quality will be like though.

I would like to buy with metal strap, but I think that bracelet will be the same of quality watches metal strap AAA... It is when you notice that the watch is fake... Let us know when you'll have in your hands

Timegrapher QC pic for those curious about the quality of the modified A7750

You are an upstanding citizen, Sir! This will be one quality piece, outside of that grand canyon between the subdials. Anyway, the finishing looks cool, I like the polished edges versus brushed finish on your pic. Let's see what these will look like when they hit our respective shores!

Whishlist for v2 - I totally buy in to the A7750 theory, which probably dictates the subdial placement (incidentally I scaled this one up very non-scientifially from a TD pic, and it aligns with my Breitling GMT subdial layout. BUT don't bet the farm on this one Folks....). I would want V2, if it ever comes, to perhaps have the SD diameter scaled up fractionally to visually close the gap :). IT will never be a perfect layout, but likewise could be an opportunity to clean up the obvious tell.

Perhaps I'll try a 3D printed fix for this one, as a modding experiment on my new acquisition ;) - A buddy of mine owns a prototyping startup, with some pretty accurate Carbon 3D printers. This being modular design.... :p.

As I understand it the movement is an A7750 with a newly designed chrono mechanism, this converts it to a column wheel actuator design, and at least according to the manufacturer improves on the stock chrono module significantly. The subdial spacing will not be nearly as noticable in real world use, the closeups make the gap look far bigger than it really is.

Would you mind sharing the link to the straps on AliExp?

QC images arrived courtesy of Ryan. Finishing overall looks great

And here's some close ups of Gen vs Rep Subdial positioning - notice the placement of the SD at 9, vs Gen (Gen 1st, Rep 2nd).

Yeah its 7750 vs Calibre 01.

It will never be better unless they make a clone of the 01 movement. (that won't happen. Omega Speedmaster and Breitling b01 would be more popular, yet they can't )

It's good enough for me. Mine is in the mail for over a week now.
