CGN1017 - Same as that. I am new to reps but I can tell it is a good one. In terms of internal workings I haven't a clue, but I don't care that much. It looks amazing. I will definitely do a proper review of both my purchases when I get a chance to

Here's mine, it arrived last week and I'm extremely impressed by it. It just looks fantastic, has the CF on the face and lume on the numerals. The strap is very high quality and works well. It certainly has made up for some of the more recent duds I have received.

It's a great watch man! Love mine... I think I am going to get a gen buckle at some point though. Does anyone know how often to get the 7750 movement serviced?

It came from Trustytime, for 318. It sure is a nice piece of kit, that was the 6th purchase from them, all but one have been excellent, the dud was a cheapy 21j tag calibre 17, it broke just by winding it up, minutes after I unwrapped it.

It wasn't worth sending back with the cost of shipping etc. so just tossed it in the garbage bin. They've offered me a small discount on my next purchase. Otherwise, I'm very happy with the rest of them, as they are of far better quality, in movement and case material.

You won't be sorry, that's for sure. I believe it to be one of the better value reps available, as most that have that movement are closer to $400 or at least over $350.

I particularly like the green, both on the face and on the leather band. It makes for a nice change from the usual red or just black. You'll certainly get plenty of comments from whomever has even the slightest interest in watches.

Hi Smoov,

I'm new at this and after reading your post about your good experience at buying from this seller I want to check him out but I can't figure it out who TrustyTime is . Is it one of the Trusted dealers around here? Website address? Please help.

Thanks

I'm pretty new to this too, but I have bought from at least half a dozen dealers. Not all of them trusted by this site or RWG, but most are. I've had mixed results, but overall I've been happy (lucky) with my experiences, save for a few duds recently.

The green calibre 16 is one of the best I have received, and I'm sure it would have been the same had it come from any of the trusted dealers, as they come from the same factory after all.

Trusty is a trusted dealer on RWG www.trustywatchguy.com/ , I got a dud cheapy from him recently, when I contacted him by email, he was straight back to me to sort it out. In the end I didn't see it as worth while to send the watch back to him for replacement, so he offered me a large discount on my next purchase.

I've also had good experiences with non trusted dealers, but as others will tell you, why buy from them when a trusted dealer has the same product. That's a fair call and something I think I will stick to from now on, as I just received product from a site call aoobuy.com. The goods arrived ok and I am happy with them (a couple of tag grand carrera 36's), but the day after ordering, the website has disappeared, and it's still not up. So I was a bit worried about my purchase, but he emailed me a tracking no. and they did arrive. But it could have easily been a different story, as in, I paid the money and then nothing.

So just stick to the trusted dealers and you will be fine. If you want to go with one of the trusted dealers on this site, I've purchased from Puretime and Trevorwatch, both were very good to deal with.

Hey orfeo71. I bought one from Marvellous Replica and it was a sweet deal. Ask him for price before you do anything else
