Received My Navitimer Today

[jb]

I received my Navitimer from Andrew today. As with my 1st rep purchase, also from Andrew, everything went completely smooth. It took a total of six days, including the weekend, to be delivered. The watch was running REALLY fast at first (around 5 seconds per minute :shock: ), but seems to have settled down. I'll keep an eye on it for the next couple of days. By the way, do I have the deployant set-up the right way? It seems to open very easily.

This is a beauty, I have the same one. My only question is, why you got an old model with the old 7750 movement? I thought all the dealers, including Andrew, were advertising the new Navi with the 7750b1 under the hood? How much did it cost you?

BTW, I highly reccomend you get a Bob leather strap for deployant. It looks much more authentic than the rep strap!

What lead you to this conculsion? It is supposed to have the b1. Am I missing something?

I am not too sure too why andreww said it is not newer Asian 7750... You may wish to check the chrono function. Observe the second chrono hand movement. Compare it with ETA2824/2836 if you have one. If it ticks as smooth, you've got the newer Asian 7750 if it's much jerkier, you have the old Asian 7750. This method doesn't require you to open the caseback.

I say this because of the font in the date window. Its the old generic font that came with the old 7750s. The date window is small like the older version and the subdials are not recessed. This appears to be the exact watch that I have (May 06) and I can pretty much guarantee its the old movement. Unscrew the back and give us a pic.
