Looks great to me. We've been waiting for years for a decent Navi 2004 rep and we've finally got one. For me, the trade off on the min counter is worth it. Definitely ordering a few of these Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Not sure if you own one Peter but having had one on my wrist, this is one of the most minor tells you can imagine! The dial is much more of a tell.

The gen won't be - the movement is totally different. Mine feels similar to how you describe but difficult to know for certain without comparing side by side Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Glad you are happy with it - it's a great piece. The winding on the Miyota is a little less smooth than an ETA Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You will be fine Derik, it is how it looks. The known flaws have already been discussed in this thread. Toro's one is a completely different rep. The flaws with that rep have nothing to do with the one you bought and do not change anything. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sorry to hear that mate. Andrew should definitely send you a replacement caseback for no extra charge. If he refuses, get a thread going in his section and get some support from the admins/other members. It's a reasonable expectation. Also an easy replacement, you will just need a case back opener (an inflated plastic ball - don't go for the metal versions!) from eBay to unscrew it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Agree with hyjynx^. That's the best 10 I've seen on a 300. Only other known flaw I've seen is the pearl being a bit too far right (clockwise) and that looks good on yours too. Take it! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Selling because I bought it as a watch for work. I like wearing one with a bracelet with a suit. After putting it on with a suit I decided that I actually want one with a metal bezel too, rather than ceramic, so I've bought an Aqua Terra. It's also a little too square for me with the lugs. So it's an entirely personal choice, no reason I don't think you'd be very happy with it. It's a brilliant looking watch and one I would be happy to keep for the collection if I wasn't getting the AT. I definitely prefer the sweep of the 2836, but when you weight up the sweep (2836) vs reliability (Miyota) vs decoration (Miyota), I honestly couldn't pick one over the other. At least with the Miyota you know it's unlikely it will die in the first few months. Reclaimed ETA's aren't reliable. The date stopped working on mine about a year ago and I still haven't fixed it! If you like I can try to do a video of the two watches running next to each other so you can see? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ps I'm selling mine if anyone is interested. Will list in the sales section this evening Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It's smooth enough for it to look gen-like unless you go up really close. I've got an ETA 2836 in my Planet Ocean and I've got to say I do prefer the sweep and the hacking, but it's pretty marginal. The Miyota feels a lot more reliable though and keeps its charge much longer. Plus it does look excellent Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yeah me too. Having to resist the urge to take the dial out on mine and see if I can improve the depth of the lume. Hoping they update it as I would definitely replace it Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

ww12345 does the lume come right up to the surface on yours now? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just spotted this two tone SS/RG version on Puretime. http://www.pure-time.com/product/seamaster-300-master-co-axial-liquidmetal-v6f-best-edition-rg-bezel-on-ssrg-bracelet-a8400/ At first I thought they had rounded the cut outs of the dial, but now not so sure. To me, the rep cut outs looked sharper (pointier) in the corners than the gen. But now I'm thinking that the shape is largely correct and it's just the loom behind the dial not being pressed right up against it that causes this effect. Anyone know what I mean? Would be very interested to see if it would be an easy mod to take the loom closer to the surface of the dial Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Noooo, haha. What are you going to do? Just got mine. Review to follow. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks for sharing Ihooq. The matte blue on the 300 dial is incredible, so different to almost any other dial I can think of. The blue Speedmaster is incredible too, think that will have to be on the list for when it gets repped Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
