Thoughts on this new offering

[Time4Direct]

Yes Q and the biggest tell used to be the constant center second hand running keeping pace with the sub dial.
Now all of a sudden a 0.5mm 18k stamp on the back of a clasp is an issue.
I am at a loss.
Only thing I can think of is they want to convince themselves it a Gen
It's a really easy problem to fix if you only want a perfect watch you just buy the genuine item and be done with it,anything else is going to be a compromise in some way or another

T4D- The 18k is of no difference to me. Are the 3 and 9 subdials frozen?

 

[Q5?]

It looks like getting a chrono that uses a A7750 is a big investment because of the service that is recommended.

So if someone wants to try a chrono out for the first time but does not want to spend a lot, this looks like the best start.

Right?

 

[Time4Direct]

no idea coop to be honest I hope not though

 

[RWIGWH]

Now, I personally dun want this type of watch 7750 or not, but If I did, this would be my first choice. If someone wants the watch without the 7750 this is a huge score for them. It's the same price as the non chrono 21J that runs the Chono hand constantly...This is an upgrade from that at virtually the same price. Stop the bitching, it's a 21J @ 99....WTF?

:rofl:

The 3 and 9 subdials are a 30min and 12 hour totalizers. If they arent stopped at 12 oclock it will give the impression that the crono had been run and not reset.

This is a sweet rep, looks awesome, it is so much better than a 21j version with a running center hand.....if they make this in a gaytona variant, count me in

with the 18K stamp on the clasp it is easy to see that it WAS 18k that has been plated with stainless steel!! now that is one sweet deal for sure...just hope it don't say Bolex

If it said Bolex, it'd be a gen, and the retail would be $369.00 on ShopNBC...

For me, cheap enough, and close enough, is good enough. Most people are judging you as opposed to the watch when they decide in the minds whether you're wearing a fake.

coop, no worries bro. I was simply putting forth my thoughts and I find no use for a chrono that doesn't work, unless your only looking for the Rolex crown on your dial. If not I would go with a Invicta Speedway or like watch for the same price and get a watch that functions as it should like a chonograph.

Q5?, not a debate just saying my thoughts on a watch that doen't work.:nah:

Everybody, go buy this watch, run to phones, lol.:mez:

 

[coop]

Sub, you know me bro, I have a speedway.
I think you and I are two of the very few Invicta owners on here. Lol!

 

[Q5?]

My brother owns one. Does that count? :lol:

 

[sub4me]

coop, I do remember that, great watch and looks so nice.

Q5?, no it does not, lol.

Invicta,
3824LE SW200

3076 ETA 2824

I can't remember model Miyota 21J

 

[RWIGWH]

My one and only Invicta...Has an St-19 manual wind which they call (lie) a Swiss Ebauche Movement...

 

[sub4me]

Its only 60mms, right?? LOL, and they tend to lie a bit dont they??

 

[RWIGWH]

lol..Naw..Like 45 I think..Yes, the owner is a big fake liar...Elal or something. I had a few others but they were all defective. I actually has to send this first one I got back, which has never happened with an St-19 from China...The company did replace it with a functioning one in less than a week...Something that NEVER happens in China lol...

 

[sanankid]

sub gave me hell for selling the 9937 ob.

if you are tying to fool someone experienced with a rep rolex you should consider buying a gen instead. i think there is something to be said about a manufacturer where 9 times out of 10 the watch you see on someone's wrist is indeed a rep....
