Some better pics.

Haven't seen many pics of the TT chrono so I thought Id take a few pics of mine. The rep is of excellent build quality and very well finished, and the brown rep strap is especially nice, the nicest rep strap Ive seen.

How is the cabochon? I have always been tempted to go for the roadster as it doesn't have one.

that is a striking rep.
I see that is has the 7753 A movement.
May I ask who you bought it from and is
the leather band usable???

Thanks, the strap is the best rep strap Ive come across so Im in no hurry to swap for a gen and I love gen straps! I got this from Puretime and would recommend them.

Looks awesome mate. How do you find it value wise as I know they are particularly expensive reps?

I have to say tho it cost $400 I couldnt believe the quality and feel of it when I first opened it, it was so gen like, so I think its a bargain, and I have an AP ROO and HBB V1 that both cost $200 more but this is probably the best quality of the lot.

The OP's watch is a beauty, but can someone please explain to me the difference between the Ultimate version of the Santos and the one that Trevor and Silix are selling for about $150 less? See link to less expensive version that Trevor sells:

I know very little about these watches, but was asked by my aunt to purchase one for my uncle. Thanks!!

Is the A7753 better than the A7750? More reliable? Thanks!

The 7753 doesn't have the sunken datewheel, as per GEN. On the ultimate versions, the case, crown etc and dial color are spot on to the GEN. The cheaper versions have the wrong dial color.

Thanks BMW. Is it me, or are almost all of the Santos reps flawed in some. The ultimate versions seem close to apt on, but they are so damn expensive.

I think they are an absolute steal actually - for $400 to get a watch with build quality and feel just like the $5k gen still amazes me.
