archibald Posted April 28, 2006 Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 Thinking about putting together a 005H, out of my old 005A now that the L-Swiss-L dial is "correct" and have a couple Q's for the PAM WISes: 1)Is the rep back below the best available (Pic #1)? If so can the ink be removed to more closely match the OEM pic #2 2)Unless I'm missing a new version, the rep H series guards all look a little thin to me. Anyone have an opinion about which one is best? Thanks as always. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sssurfer Posted April 30, 2006 Report Share Posted April 30, 2006 Hi John, apologies for replying with a question rather than with an answer, but: are not the BBxxxxxx / PBxxxxxx numbers starting from BB970001 and increasing? I see that OEM marked PB523860... ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted April 30, 2006 Report Share Posted April 30, 2006 Arch- Ink can always be removed from engraved backs. I removed the paint from my MBW 1665 shortly after I rec'd it: Just use some of Mrs. A's nail polish remover Should work like a charm!

Hi Marco, Yeah, the caseback numbers on PT's rep are wrong, like most of the reps, which doesn't bother me at all --what I like about his back is the H serial number box and the logo, which is about all I care about--just enough to indicate it's an H series logo watch. I was hoping someone had a version with all around better engraving--this version just looks a little rough to me. Eddie's H series watches have excellent quality engraving casebacks, but no logo version as far as I know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believed that 'OEM' was synonymous of 'genuine', so I also supposed your 2nd pic was from a gen, hence I got confused. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
