That's the one I haven't seen cheap yet. Probably because it's the best one.

Been watching 5 eBay sellers with cheap 779's all this week, but haven't pulled "the trigger". Can't decide if I want to part with my 175 Pepsi being the reason.

The 777 with dome is tits. There's a few images floating around.

Still runner-up to the 773 in my book, but admittedly the cleanest and timeless look in the turtle range IMHO...

I'm just a sucker for anything Pepsi and need a July 4th/Memorial Day beater. At $260 shipped it cannot be beat, especially when any potential chapter ring issue can be resolved on the inevitable crystal swap I plan on thanks to Terry. :dance:

779 will be mine soon. That on a jubilee will be awesome. I may be in the minority but I actually quite like the silicone rubber on my 777.

I like my flat dome sapphire in the 775. It looks stock

What the fuck is a "flat dome"?

IMO you are better off getting the Pepsi and waiting for an aftermarket insert...am I nuts?

I'm going to do a DLC on one of these with a sapphire. I may even do one of the 775 too.

Just don't bead blast it! Maybe get the coin edge bezel too?

Hey Matt, could you please PM me the contact info for Duarte. I want to see if I can send him my 777 for a domed crystal swap.

Thanks. :grin:

Easier to just re-post Terry's info...



I talked to Duarte and he gave us a deal as DWC member's and this is what it is "It's $40 for the crystal, $25 labor for DWC members." This also includes pressure testing. Hey has some double dome crystals with blue ar on the way in from Crystal Times right now and they should be at his place next week.

Here is his info:
milwatch@gmail.com
Duarte Mendonca
NEWW
10 Beechwood Court
Warren RI 02885

Just let him know you are from DWC and I sent you. Like it has mentioned before he does bead blasting and can charge out date wheels or hands. He has been doing mod work for about 12 years now. He was the guy who did all of Yao's work back when he dealt in Seiko's (the good ole' days).

Let me know if you have any questions.
