oops sorry double post :roll:

Incredible watch. Finally got the chance to see the pics! Enjoy it as much as I did just from the pics.

However, I wonder why is it that there is no longer a good version available? What are the main differences with the ones of offered right now?

Cheers LOVEPANERAI!

The factory for the one I have is closed - the newer and currently available one as pictured by neverworn has glued bezel markers, no AR crystal, HE valve embossed and not engraved, shallow engraving on the back and the new 28.800BPH Asian 7750.

Neverworn, where did you get the better date wheel? Who changed it out for you? Looks good!

 

[Veratio]

john, I belive that is the datewheel in circulation right now.

I think the 187 is a hideous lump!

Ugly, ugly, ugly.








Oh, yes, I do have one. I wear it often. It's still ugly, though.

Replacement case (without missing bezel markers) is in the post.

Nice piece! I wish mine had AR.

hey Pug...I got mine replacement case a while ago...but I didin't brought it to the watchsmith yet to make the exchange...It came w/o the crystal...so ithe crystal has to be taken off from the old case and re-installed to the new one...

I've been thinking of taking off the bezel markers from the new case and re-glue all of them again to be sure that they wan't fall off again...do you plan to do the same?

and for the taking off of them...I've read to insert the case in a hot water so the glue releases a little bit and they are easilly taken off then...is that true and ok to do?

please let me know when you do the process on your own...and write a little post (you are good in that) for the unskilfull ones like me...

tnx,

I'm getting one with welded markers and a busted movement, so I'll not need to do anything apart from a movement swap.

lucky you..

welded markers? from whom did you got that one?

 

[audemarsfan]

Has anyone tried putting a 7753 into one of these to get rid of the date gap?

The date set wouldn't work.

 

[Veratio]

Pug, I think I have welded markers as well. I checked thru a loupe and it looks like a SMALL weldmark on each and every marker, not visible with the naked eye though. Is it the same for you?

This sounds great, I have been worried that they will fall off....

the position and size of the cutout for the DW is different than on the Asia7750 - you would need a new dial

 

[audemarsfan]

Thanks, I was wondering why no one has done that yet.

 

[turbogt]

I know everyone posting in this thread either has one or wants one. I add myself to the wannies...

Sooo... if someone ever decides to sell theirs (old version with new case) please let me know. Wishful thinking....


Cheers!
