Watch looks good but PureTimes website seems to be down at the moment, not sure if anyone else has had the same problem? Is the date changed via a 'concealed' button on the RHS of the case (as per gen) or is it changed via the crown. I read somewhere that this is the most obvious give away of a replica?

Changed by pushing the date changer at 10 O'Clock on the side. It's a 7753, not 7750 (via crown).

i was confused since many sites advertise a 7753 movement but also state watch includes "depressable recessed button at 10oclock (faux)".....im guessing they have just used the same item description for the 7753 as the 7750?

Something not right with the timeshops one. That date wheel is WAY to low compared to the pics in this thread.

I got mine from ToroBravo and it has the new A7753 movement, the date wheel has the correct height and the date pusher at 10 works fine it is not a faux button it is actually used to change the date.

Here's a link to timeshop's page..... i know the link implies a '7750 movement' but if you open the page, the advert itself says its a 7735 movement. Hope i'm not being dumb here but the advert does state that the watch includes a ''depressable Recessed Pusher at 10oclock (faux)"....hence the confusion

They probably put up the wrong ad. 7750 in pictures and title although it says 7753 in movement section. Toro has it on his website.

This is the correct item (Tony's a great person to deal with btw):

or

Message sead1999 (Super Mirrors) and tell him what you want. I got mine for $345 on the leather strap (don't like the bracelet).

i.e. Montblanc TW 7753 Silver/Black/Ceramic Black with Bracelet/Black or Brown leather and he can get it for you.

Hi,
how can you tell the 7753 from the 7750, as the description says.
Is there a way to tell from the movement side photos?

cheers.

The date is not shallow in the 7753. Most obvious in the silver dialed models.

Cheers for that info! Did some surfing and with your criteria it is easy to tell.
Did you guys see a 7753 chrono model with grey dial?
Cheers!

Don't think these TW models come with a grey dial. Or do you mean silver?

Hi all - I'm going to pick up the TW 7753 (Can't decide between black face w/SS bezel or black with ceramic bezel!!)

One question I had was whether it's advisable to get the SS bracelet initially with the watch and then buy a seperate leather strap or just order the watch already with the rep leather strap? I wasn't sure of the quality of the rep strap on these models.

Get both the "fake Leather strap" and the SS bracelet, this way youll have the MB buckle in hand for a transfer to your new real leather strap when youre set on wich to get.

As he said the rep buckle is a must. The rep strap looks a lot like the gen but feels stiff. If you get the ceramic bezel get the leather and I'll sell you the SS ceramic if you decide you want that also.
