LightGeek 25 Posted April 4, 2013 Black from TT, orange from WI... But it doesn't really matter since I'm sure they were born next to each other in the factory. Both 42mm. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

the violator 0 Posted April 5, 2013 I love these reps. I am just not sure if the more expensive clear backed model is worth the extra couple hundred dollars. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LightGeek 25 Posted April 6, 2013 Was this the $150 model? No, the black was something like $350 and the orange was $300. Both have "Swiss" movements and the clear back. Is the clear back worth it? Yes. Does it make it a lot thicker to wear? Yes. For the latter reason, I kind of regret selling my V5... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheSav 2 Posted April 6, 2013 Very nice. I especially like the black one but will purchase whichever you decide to put up on M2M Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheInthusiest 0 Posted April 6, 2013 How well do they keep time? And how is the bezel? Does it feel solid when rotatin? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fatarms 7,792 Posted April 6, 2013 Please take some pics of the movements in these things for me, I was also told mine was a Swiss 2824-2, but actually got an Asian 2836-2. http://www.rwg.bz/board/index.php?showtopic=48295 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LightGeek 25 Posted April 6, 2013 How well do they keep time? And how is the bezel? Does it feel solid when rotatin? Per the timegrapher in two positions, black -4s/D and orange +6s/D. Pretty good. About the movement... I put "Swiss" in quotes up there for a reason Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
P4GTR 0 Posted April 6, 2013 About the movement... I put "Swiss" in quotes up there for a reason You're saying you got asian ETA po ceramic for $3-350? I just feel like when we support this crap (and this is not directed at you at all LG) the prices will go higher and higher. Personally I'm not willing to spend that much without a gen ETA or SW200, I won't buy one. Also, does the bezel print rub off or not? I thought the consensus was that it did, but everyone seems to be buying them. I couldn't stand not having the bezel markings, would ruin the watch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fatarms 7,792 Posted April 6, 2013 Dan, my bezel paint isn't coming off at all, but the movement, you've seen the evidence there. Also, the crown sucks as well. When setting the minutes, you push the crown back in and it pops back out like it's springloaded. I have to turn the crown one way or another after setting the time (which messes the time setting up) in order to get the crown to go back in so I can screw it down. Only solution is to buy the gen crown and tube. Would I buy this version of this watch again? Hell no. Just being honest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Amen, sick of paying for swiss and having to question if I'm actually getting what I paid for. Especially in this case when they offer no alternative movement option!

UmpaHimself 223 Posted April 6, 2013 Nice dude. Pearls look great on both. I have black and orange numbers but I kind of want black and silver. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

radzer0 0 Posted April 6, 2013 I didnt think any of these clear back watches they tried to do the asian eta and call it a swiss? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ATEspo 0 Posted April 9, 2013 I received an orange bezel (pumpkin) last week in 42mm and I LOVE IT. My movement is stamped pretty well, but dont you think they can just replicate an "ETA" movement with the stamps etc? Anyway I am not worried about it, its a sweet watch and personally one of my favorites right now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LightGeek 25 Posted April 11, 2013 I think I'm going to be letting both of them go. They wear quite a bit thicker and heavier (!?) than the "standard" V5 which doesn't work for me :( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
