Received my QC's and I've noticed it's a bit rough around the top of the subdials, everything else is spot on

Not sure what I should do here... :confused:

From that pic, it's the texture inside the dials that you are seeing, and light falling on it from the top. I see pictures of the gen which has that raised texture, I am happy the rep has it too :)

Couldn’t you go viably place a eta 7753 in this and have a super. Rep ?

Yes, I'd also like to know what the potential for upgrading this watch with gen parts will be like. I know that HRF claim the watch is 1:1 with the real McCoy, but what is the likelihood of parts being interchangeable?

​​​​​​I'm 90% certain that I'm going to order a panda dial from Andrew pretty soon.

I also ordered this in Grey dial, and rejected the first one... from QC pics they sent me, it was not properly painted on the bezel. Now that I think of it, not sure what will happen with the second watch; it seems to be delayed a lot due to raids... I think I like this watch a lot; I might just ask for a refund and buy the gen. Found it brand new for a tick under 4k.

Nobody wants to chip in about the movement ?? How precise is it, power reserve?? I got one incoming from Trusty, I will post about mine as soon as I get it.

Hey Everyone,

It's great to see this thread going and getting bigger.

I thought to do a brief review and share some pics. The sub dials are textured and you may notice that the date window seems to have a paint chip. This is just lighting that reflects off one of the textures.

Overall:

I love the watch, it's a casual and sporty piece and has gotten a lot of wrist time. It just feels like a go to for me at this point.

I'll start with cons because it's what I would have liked to read first.

Cons:
- I RLd the first one with my TD because the Swiss Made marking was a total mess
- the 7750 (I believe) has a pretty low rotor and has the "rotor wobble" (you can google this) which basically means you can feel the watch moving on your wrist if you say jerk your arm or move it quickly. This is because the rotor on this movement only charges when it spins in one direction (some may find this odd)
- dates can be a bit misalignmed (doesn't bother me that much)
- quick deployment clasp feels like trash. It's wobbly and just gives me a cheap vibe. I don't know what the Gen feels like but this is my opinion
- chrono buttons feel hard to push and there is something that makes it not feel premium the way I'd imagine it (again similar to clasp as I don't know what Gen feels like)

Pros:
- band feels great
- watch keeps amazing time
- the chrono works well
- the dial is gorgeous in sunlight

Overall I love this watch, I will save up for a Gen speedy because...it's a dope watch

Current state of my collection:
- PAM 111 Noob v4
- BP Explorer I
- HRF Speedmaster

Mine is coming in a week or so, so I'll post pics as soon as I have it... Mine's a grey dial. And BTW, the gen 7750 ( I have the Tag calibre 16 Carrera) is also hard to push on the chrono buttons, and very hard to wind... If I like this, I will jump on the gen too... will post comparison pics when I get both.
Cheers

So questions about the movement, sounds very good makes a noise on the rotor but so does my wife’s Gen speedy.

She’s got the 39 mil and it makes exactly the same noise, the moment feels exactly the same in use of the chronometer et cetera.

The back is absolutely identical, and the reserve seems the same – although I never wear a watch long enough to see a full wind out and I’ve got a big bank of winders now.

I didn’t really like the speedy yellow rubber strap much, although there was nothing wrong with it I just find them a bit sweaty.

So I bought a nice Wocci calfskin strap And moved the clasp over –which is in the piccies.

Lol. I bought it for her. It’s a silver dial really and the green and gold make it look amazing - and her favorite watch (she’s got a few but only likes Gen really). It’s why I suddenly like speedy so much
