Old:

I can honestly say I need to change underwear...

As for the new guys, don't go to that site, it's overpriced and crappy, if you must go then go just to browse pics, stick to the dealers here for better prices [It's free advice! :) ].

The caliber 3313 I think, is based on the Piguet 1285. So did they reverse engineer the 7750 to get this spacing or did they dissect a 28XX with a chrono module and copy that? It does look similar to a 7750. Any thoughts on these questions?

Edit: I read the sales ad so they claim they moved the subdial spacing on a 7750. Will this be a good idea? I would bet Francisco knows or will know soon.

Similar problem to the Tag Heuer. It comes with sunken datewheel but spacing is correct.

A good replication but not for the price :)

Couldn't agree more, price is ridiculous, should be $199 at most. But you know how the wonder twins are.

Hont's got them now! (Where's that drooling smiley?) No price though.

Impressive. And I don't mind the price either. But the sunked DW is a no no for me... Would drive me insane.

Yep. I still have to say that the best PO chrono I've seen is the one I bought from you Rooster. Perfect subdial spacing, DW ok...

@X: I miss that PO!!! Great to see it's still in good shape though. :) Yeah, I still think that if one really wants the correct spacing, quartz is still the way to go. Not sure what's more of a give away: the small ticking secs or the nasty recessed date. But I do know which one would bother me more!

Thanks for all your hard work Francisco, you're uncovering the lies from the bastardo twins, everyone can't thank you enough for this, in any given case Jandrew says no-more and stops selling to you, any dealer can get you the same watch. :)
