Thanks David :cheers: Chris, it was a WUS post. I contacted him this morning and he got back to me tonight. $370 with the bracelet. Watches88 has them at $359 on rubber. I'd rather have the bracelet for $10 more. I got lucky.

What's the accuracy of everyone's like?

Mine is -1seconds a day consistently which I'm writing-off as lucky.

Considering I got $90 for my bracelet when they were sold out of just the bracelet I'd say so. if it the bracelet doesn't sing to you think at least $60 rebate if you sell. :thumbsup:

Black, and the Black and gold are easy to find at great prices.
Watches 88 shows limited stock of Blue and in stock on Pepsi right now. Hurry up and buy-out the Pepsi so it isn't a consideration. I nearly hit send on the paypal but held back. Great watch but I'm trying to source Lipsey's Ruger .45 convertible :shifty:

FYI gold is limited and black is out of stock.

Got my 775 Thursday, wound it up, wore it both Friday and Saturday. It's been dial up for two days now, still going, and it's at about -6 s/d. Nice power reserve though.

If I do get the pepsi I'm tempted to swap bezels with the blue. If the crystal gets good reviews I'll have him do the bezel swap on both so I don't have to think about it.

End links still don't look right to me. Harold needs to whip up a batch of more precisely fitted ones, then I'll go for a blue dial on BOR.
Probably still using 6309 end links, which don't fit the srp case.
Those are the same end links I posted. :naughty:

I think you said they don't fit if I remember right? I've heard conflicting reports, but you would know best since you actually have one.

Actually Ho Chuan doesn't have the 775, and Watches88 doesn't have the 777 black. I've been checking them daily for weeks now.

I got an email from HoChuan late last night, advising blue & Pepsi just came in. Might not be on the site yet, so email them?

They're on the site, just not the 775, which I have anyway. Contemplating getting the Pepsi and then selling my SKX175.

If you're 175 is the black dial and not the dark blue- It may be a quick sale to me :)

I'm pretty sure they are all blue. Depending on light though some of my pictures look black and some look blue.
