AllergyDoc 40 Posted October 14, 2010 Just got in today. You've already seen Star's mini-review so I'll be brief. I unwrapped the watch and the case back fell off. Checked the gasket and found it greased, tightened the case back down. Supposed to be good to 50 meters now. I think I'll swim with my $88 Sub, though. My overall impression is that it is very well made. The 316F steel looks like the others, but I haven't had a chance to give the bracelet the bike lube treatment yet, which really cleans and shines the steel. As Star said, lume is pretty good for a rep. I'll give it the all-night test tonight. Some pics: As I was posting this pic I noticed the loose CG and tightened it up. Button that advances the date. It works, too. You'll be seeing this one in the wrist-check threads! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gB. 0 Posted October 14, 2010 Nice pick up Doc! This is the A7753, correct? I have one on order from Lay as well and am just playing the waiting game... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AllergyDoc 40 Posted October 14, 2010 Yes, the A7753. Very heavy on the bracelet. Does he really take 15% off for Western Union? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dendo 93 Posted October 14, 2010 Looks great. Enjoy it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gB. 0 Posted October 14, 2010 Does he really take 15% off for Western Union? Yes. When you check out and select WU as payment option, you will get an e-mail with payment instructions and your order total under your account will be adjusted down by 15%. Western Union cost is about $14, so makes sense for watches in this price range, but not so for cheapies under $100. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greg_r 81 Posted October 14, 2010 Looks fantastic. Seriously considering one of these - even though I swore I wouldn't be buying any more 44mm PAMs... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Star 0 Posted October 14, 2010 Nice pics Doc! Wear in good health Timm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
collector26 0 Posted October 15, 2010 Nice pics Doc. Got mine today from Lay as well. Like you said, its "Lucy Goosey" for sure. Had to tighten my case back, my CG, and 1/2 dozen screws on the back of the bracelet. Seriously doubt if I would trust his 50 meter water resistant statement. With that said its a very nice rep. It will be fun wearing this one for awhile. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
