In the current ratings, it is considered as a First Class rep due to this:

On June 2012 H maker released a replica fitted with automatic A7750, impossible accuracy since the gen has Manual OP XXVI movement, but the general construction and finish is a First Class replica. Always bearing in mind the matter about an automatic movement instead a manual one. Due to this reason we cannot consider this PAM 308 a Super rep.

But in the dealer's website (referring to a non-TD here):

Note: The Genuine Movement is also a 7750 with the Rotor Being Removed... Users of the Rep can also simply remove the Rep Rotor and it will function as a Manual Handwind watch like the Genuine

So if the rotor is removed, this will be correct as per gen specs. Will this improve its classification as a super rep? :D

Hi mysterio
As far as I know the OPXXVII is not a Valjoux 7750 based movement.
Therefore the Gen would not be a 7750 without rotor.

That said, if you remove the rotor of the 7750 I think you will have a manual movement and the watch will be "manual"
But, that would be a modd, wouldn't be??

Anyway I think the movement of the hands through the crown would be contrary to the manual.

Not enough to be consider a Super rep directly IMO.... LOL

Please movement experts correct me all above daring statements

ALE
