Hi all,
The last 2 months I am looking for the best version of this watch.

First one is the version that most of the "known" dealers offer. For example:
http://www.puretimewatch.com/index.php?productID=106

Rotor has the regulator but caseback is wrong (No LUC, 50m instead of 100m, 8459 instead of 16/8459).


Second version has correct case back, but no regulator:
http://s302.photobucket.com/albums/nn84 ... tdial2.jpg
http://s302.photobucket.com/albums/nn84 ... seback.jpg

Dials on both versions look exactly the same to me.

So, I had finally concluded (with Takashi's help) to go for the second version, until I saw this:
http://www.repgeek.com/showthread.php?t=30600

Correct caseback and regulator!
Since the photos are not very good, I cannot tell if its dial is as good as the dials of the above two versions, but it looks it is.
Is this a new, "more ultimate" version? He is the only dealer that offers the specific one.

The other problem is that if you not keep the watch in your hand, you cannot say a lot about the quality.

So, what would you do..??? I would be grateful if you could make some research for me. Your eye is much more experienced than mine :D

Thank you in advance.

Hi, I have this from Angus. That pictures are the old ones. He hasn't updated his pics. I received mine with all the correct caseback like LUC. The quality is amazing. Only very small flaws which caused by poor QC when they do the lume on 6 hour mark (has small mark on 6, its like something pressed on it).

Gilzy, thank you for your answer!
Does your watch have the regulator?

Hi,

i am not sure with the regulator but as far as i remember (my watch now is being serviced) it looks exactly the same as the one at your link (the more ultimate version).

Thanks

Just so you are aware of what you are ordering, that movement is the low beat asian 7750.


Are you sure?
Dealer (Sead1999) says it's 28.800.

Thanks.

Yes, you are right, sorry...
I didn't think about it.
Unfortunately, I tried to upload the photos but the thread is no longer valid.

?hank you very much Francisco, but if there is a version with both correct caseback AND regulator, then why do not go directly to it?

Thanks again!

I'm actually also very interested in getting this rep. But does anyone know how good the AR on this one is?? Is it single or double? I think the AR is especially important with the black dial.

Of course it is important but it's something you can have it modified easily.

True, I've had some of my watches AR'd but this one has a date mag cyclops. Would that cause a problem, or can it still be double AR'd? But I guess the most important question is if the GEN is single or double AR!

The AR is single sided but the quality is very very good.
