Okay, I have wondered whether to comment or not, but I truly feel I must. First, it is an esthetically beautiful watch...and why shouldn't it be? It is an exact copy of a Kobold. After repeatedly denying that he had not copied the Kobold and that he had hired an independent industrial designer to design the CR1, Carlos was forced to admit his deception to the point that he sent a personal letter of apology to Kobold. I cannot, and am not, going to question the quality of the watch as I do not own one nor have I actually seen one...although I have read some negative feedback and had at least one owner pm me as to his observations. My problem is in dealing with a watchmaker who starts out from the "git go" in a less-than-honest way...to me, it is a mark of "honor" held only buy the likes of Eyal Lalo and his butt-buddy Jimmy Sniffles (and yes, there are others that hid the fact they were using SW200 movements while promoting their use of ETA 2824-2). I even got banned from Prometheus forum for the simple question as to why the movements weren't adjusted to within "reasonable" specs prior to shipping (most comments I had read put them in the error margin of being 20+ seconds per day out of sync). I am also curious as to why, with a limited addition of 100, he has had to drastically reduce his price and practically beg people to buy them. I am sorry if this post is upsetting to some, but the purpose of this forum is to inform...if I am wrong, I will apologize publicly, but I do not believe I am.

Thanks for your informative post ..... A year ago I bought a Chinese 7750 in a IWC lookalike, thru a Hong Kong web-site. The watch cost me around 250 US dollars ........ Owning more than a dozen Swiss 7750's and a few other Valjoux chrono's over the years, I am aware of the way they wind and run .... the Chinese version winds a little different .... at first it ran okay at 25 sec fast ..... the screw in crown was not like the Swiss original, and the Chinese 7750 takes a carefull person so as not to strip it .....It ticks a little louder I noticed ..... I have as late having a hard time finding the slot to wind it up and it freewheels if I dont have it just set right .... The movement seems sloppy now and it didnt at first .... I am afraid of them to be straightforward .... I must say that I really like the look of your new watch and I hope your watch runs great for you
