kennycoder 97 Posted September 6, 2012 Hello everybody. Nice place you have here Well, first of all let me give you a small background about my replica experiences. I always loved Breitling watches but unfortunately as most of the members here are not willing to spend 5k+ on a watch, especially at the times like these. Anyway, I searched some crappy forums about a year ago and found a so/so website called perfectwatches.net. Some time later I've ordered a navitimer replica with Miyota movement. It is a good looking watch, but chronograph doesn't work as supposed and so on. It was pretty expensive from what I can tell now (160 bucks at the time). They have a big network of semi-expensive replicas that look about 70% as original ones. About a month ago I accidentally found out about reps with asian movements that actually do work as expected in the original ones. So once again.. google here, google there and spotted a sinowatches.us website. They have some good videos on youtube and so on.. so I've ordered a watch from them and got it couple of days ago. About a day later I discovered this forum... could be more helpful 2 month earlier I know this seller is considered being bad and/or scammer but I guess I got lucky. The watch looks, feels and works good as it seems. After looking at trused dealer's websites from here, I know I've paid a bit more than I should (295$USD) + shipping. Anyway, here are the pics: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Luthier 1 Posted September 6, 2012 DW is shit, overall looks like a 2nd class factory. Sure, overpriced too. But you're lucky - at least you got the watch. Stick to our trusted dealers from now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
onionbag 1 Posted September 6, 2012 Hello and welcome. Oh....you've got about .5mm gap at your end-links, not so good my friend. But I've seen worse first/second efforts, and you're here now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jacobarch 0 Posted September 6, 2012 very expensive for a quartz movement. I know perfectwatches.net. I almost ordered from them once then found RWG and it saved me from making bad decisions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kennycoder 97 Posted September 6, 2012 Thanks guys..well always better to discover later than never Both are mechanical but the first one is very basic with so called miyota movement. This one from photos is asian 7750. Have it for 5 days already and it "only" gained 2 seconds. Btw, anyone had problems with customs? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Del 4,514 Posted September 6, 2012 I think it looks great actually, and not pricey for a 7750 Navi - you'll pay $300 easy for one from our TDs. Enjoy it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HeavyKrush 16 Posted September 6, 2012 7750 and the second hand is sweeping? Did you start the chrono? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kennycoder 97 Posted September 7, 2012 Yeah it actually works exactly as the real one. Went to a watch store today here in Portugal (botique dos relogios) to compare to a real one. The biggest difference i saw was the date font and its way too down. Then the logo on the back cover is not embossed as on the real one. Also the logo on the second hand is slightly uglier. Besides that, the movement and chrono work as smooth as on the real thing, at least to the naked eye. Sent from my LT26i using Tapatalk 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Heisenberg 0 Posted September 7, 2012 I have a similar watch that I bought before I found this forum and I was wondering should the large centre second hand sweep continuously or only when a button is pressed? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jorge-(WhoreHay) 261 Posted September 7, 2012 The large "seconds" hand should only move when you press the cronograph function (@2). Your regular seconds run @9. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trailboss99 996 Posted September 7, 2012 Welcome! As Luth said it's probably a second tier factory watch but I've seen a lot worse. It would be a good idea if you read the User's Guide To 7750 Watches here: http://www.rwg.bz/board/index.php?showtopic=6101 7750s, rep or gen can be a bit fragile if mistreated.
