repfish 0 Posted July 7, 2009 (edited) here it is folks, must admit this is a hum dinger of a buy. very impressed with the build quality, looks the nuts too. strap is near perfect, yes the clasp chaffs will have to see if that bugs as the day does on. AR ok to me not like gen though apparently, but who cares. for under 200 bucks this has got to be the buy of the year if you like big watches like myself then get yourself .........an Oris or a Slytech...............leave this one for just me....

JohnG 41 Posted July 7, 2009 I have always liked this BB - simple and elegant, some of the HB BB's are too busy or ugly - look at that WHITE one for example! Where did you get this one? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
repfish 0 Posted July 7, 2009 Trusty. cheap as chips $198 with A ETA 2892-2 mov, bargain......IMO Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
prestigewatchco 2 Posted July 8, 2009 Would be a fabulous buy with an ETA 2892 in it problem is the movement in these is a common a garden $7 Asain movement . Better off for $229 to buy with the 7750 movement thats the value item As a matter of interest an new ETA 2892 costs around $300 bought in quantity even the Asain seagul clone is better than the movements in that watch Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Harley357 0 Posted July 8, 2009 Here is mine with the 7750 movement. I can't see much of a difference. Date wheel maybe? And one with a little reflection from the sky Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Luthier 1 Posted July 8, 2009 Here is mine with the 7750 movement. I can't see much of a difference. Date wheel maybe? And one with a little reflection from the sky Me think it's same case, dial, hands, strap, just different movement. Great watch for my 8" wrist!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Looking at the pics posted of the 7750 compared to mine, the numbers on the bezel look better crafted as well, the top of the number 5 is touching the curved part where as there is clear gap on the 7750, also there is a slight fault by the number 3 and 2. I was lead to believe the only differance between the "lite" version and the more expensive version was the AR and movement. But these low beat versions look to be made in a different factory completly, I could be wrong but the bezel on Them 7750s looks a lot crisper and cleaner than on mine, that said I still think mine is ok, but given another crack at it, yes I would pay that bit more and plump for the 7750.

alphakazi 0 Posted July 11, 2009 here it is folks, must admit this is a hum dinger of a buy. very impressed with the build quality, looks the nuts too. strap is near perfect, yes the clasp chaffs will have to see if that bugs as the day does on. AR ok to me not like gen though apparently, but who cares. for under 200 bucks this has got to be the buy of the year if you like big watches like myself then get yourself .........an Oris or a Slytech...............leave this one for just me.... sorry repfish, you can't expect to post a beauty like that and not have anyone bite - I wanted the Palladium version (holy grail) but this one will do just fine me thinks at least for now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
