V6F Carrera Calibre 1887

@WindJonah the watch that you have is 41 or 43 mm?

It's the 43m. There is a 41mm as well, which is slightly different but a very elegant watch.

Yes it was the missing "I" in SWISS that I was referring too. Slightly disappointing but TD says "they are all like this sir". So, taking the Space X out of the equation - has anyone got a V6F Carrera Calibre 1887 Chrono with an I in Swiss or are they really all like that?

All of the TD images I've seen have the missing 'i'. Slightly surprised it has not be corrected, but that seems to be the way of these things. A number of Omega POs have similar typos.

Personally, it doesn't bother me as it is after all a rep. And, to be honest, the back isn't going to fool anyone who knows the gen.

Yeah, I was a little confused as the TD has pictures where the back in proper on certain models. Ah well, it is what it is.

My 41mm doesn't have the spelling error. Wouldn't bother me in the slightest, nobody's going to spot that

The movement deco is really nice considering a 7750 is completely different to a 1887

Nice one, does someone have the gray face version and can post pics? Thinking to pull the trigger on this one.

 

[user7743]

Right, my 1887 is on the way from the TD. It is coming with the metal bracelet. I am also looking for a black or brown strap to go with it. Does anyone have any suggestions for me? The standard strap looks good but i am open to alternatives.

What about this missed I in Swiss word? In every TD photos is without I

 

[user7743]

So I went back to the TD about the missing "I" and they went back to the factory and it took a few days to get the information but they were told "they are all like that, sir". I have done a bit more digging and it could be that the 41mm version comes complete with all letters in the word SWISS.

Hi
I was not aware of this flaw on the 1887 before my bought
I just bought a 1887 from a TD. He send me this QC and I've accepted the Watch (delivery in progess).
However i just wonder if he has not use Photosop with the pic in order to hide this flaw.
See the QC pics sent and the close up I made around the SWISS on the case back
I was not able to see if it's branded "SWISS" or "SWSS"
The pixels (squares) seem to be as not squares as the others.
What do you think?

I just received the watch today. Finally i was wrong. No flaws hidden. The SWISS is well branded on the caseback

My watch says SWSS but it was clearly visible in QC pics.

Beautiful. Had the gen on yesterday and loved it. Have you seen the gen, and if so how close is the dial colour? This watch is really calling my name!

 

[GodRole]

I'm curious - Resetting my chrono on this watch only resets the bottom subdial, not the top subdial or the top "Second hand"

Is this happening for anyone else?

Well, I decided to take the plunge and buy the watch. Very excited to get it!

My plan is to order a nice custom leather strap. From what I can find online, the lug width and strap required is 22mm for the 43mm version of the gen. would someone be able to confirm that this is correct for the rep? I would like to order a strap before the watch arrives.

Sorry
when resetting, 12 (30 min) & 6 subdial (12hrs) reset together. Has you push the buttons hardly?
