White Face Speedmaster for the Wife

[Alex_P1]

Hi All,

I was in my local AD at the weekend trying on a Breitling SOH and made the mistake of taking my eye off the wife for 2 minutes.

When I was done I found her happily trying on a pre-owned white faced Speedmaster, linnk below, which she now wants a rep of...

It's a 2006 model with subdials at 12, 6 and 9. I've seen a couple of TDs with something close to it on their sites, however, I get very confused around the issues with the 7750 mods, will this rep fall foul of them?

If there is a newer or better white faced Speedmaster available, please let me know!

Thanks,

Alex

Puretime has it

with the A7750. I have an Aquaracer on its way (ordering today) with that movement. From the reading I have done, 7750 @ 21k is the bad movment and the 7750 @ 28 is a good movement. Also the watch you have picked as seconds at 9 which is the un-modded version of this movement. When you get seconds at 6, it has modified gears.
As with all Crono watches (that the crono barely gets used) is the crono can be picky, but the rest of the movement seems pretty good.

If I am mistaken on info, please chime in and correct.

Brilliant, thanks for the information.

I had seen that model on Puretime but assumed that because there is no price against it, it is out of stock..?

I'm in the process of getting an A7750 SOHC which has the same sub-dial layout with seconds at 9, and so I had read they were 'safe', but just wanted to check!

I've banged an email to my usual TD to see if he can get one.

Cheers,

Alex

Bah, out of stock! Any other suggestions for a white face Speedmaster?

Thanks

The dial is actually silver correct?

Keep an eye out on Ebay. There are 2 Japanese sellers who move a shit ton of these. They are real. They are reputable.

Just don't try and buy this fake one.
