I've just seen that one of the trusted dealers listed a new movement for the portoguese.
Do we have a solution to the problem of the chrono with seconds at 6 o'clock?

Yes, Domi has the final solution to fix the watch. Try to contact him here in his section :

Domi's solution is not a cheap one. It involves complete dismantling of the movement and then custom machining of the plates to install three new jewels to the movement.
Expect to pay somewhere in the region of $200-250 I would say for this work.

??? A swiss 7750 has the seconds at nine. It does not do anything to the part of the Portuguese movement that moves the seconds to six.

Here is the "improved" 3714: http://www.puretimewatch.com/product/portuguese-chrono-3714-rg-black-dial-on-black-leather-strap-a7750-improved/
Anyone bought this latest version? Is different from the old versions? Does it have any real improvements or it's the same old marketing trick?

I just purchased a new one from MR. On it's way currently with Black Dial, RG Case, and brown gator strap. I'm looking forward to how long it will last.
is this new version different from the improved 29j version which I think was released last year?
desperate for a rep of this watch so will keep an eye on this thread to see if this improved version finally does the trick

I am new to replicas and hands down my favourite watch (at the moment) is the Portugese 3902 Yacht Club. Now I have read a lot about the reliability of the movements due to seconds@6 and its a bit off putting so I started looking at the cheaper versions so if it does break I havent lost much. I saw one on Watcheden on offer so i emailed them for details and was told the subdials aren't a chronograph but month/week indicators. Does this mean the problem that is caused by having seconds @6 is not an issue on these cheaper versions??
They use a quartz movement. I find many of their offerings to be their own creations and not very accurate. This is a beautiful watch, but too difficult to rep accurately.
According to the website it is a 21j asia automatic movement not a quartz. I am not looking for a very accurate rep, especially at this price, i just think it is a lovely watch.

Hmm. So you're saying I could get one of the rep Portuguese and instead of getting a genuine 79350 movement for 600 euros, he could mod it for only 200? Sounds like a deal to me!
I hear people on this forum say a quartz would be a solution to this time bomb. Is this it here? Or do I not know what I'm talking about (which I'm sure is 99% accurate). If that's true, please enlighten me.

Mine is working good everyday for almost 1 week. See how it does in the coming weeks / months. If it does go down... That 250 job is my plan! Good deal to me.
