I haven't talked about the project for awhile, but I've been keeping busy, and it's about time I posted an update. Midway through reshaping my first batch of Phase II cases, I made a decision to include the removal of strap notch from every case in order to take it one last bit closer to the venerable Bettarini designed, Montres Valgine manufactured case that eats the loops of your expensive PreV straps for breakfast. My case of course will not do this unless you're wearing 7mm thick straps. A few quick shots from my humble PreV lab, this is where I spend most of my nights now, and probably will continue to for the next 2-3 months: Cases in misc. sculpting stages: The leaning-twisting-tower of cases: Look ma, no notch!

If I were choosing I would go with the 005 mate.... mainly as it is generally better in terms of the CG and dial and its a closed CB However the NF crystal and case are loads better... So buy both and mix and match I think you will also find plenty of revisions coming to most current models from the factories...

So Pete in what way is it not like the Gen? Forgive my ignorance but its not like the CHS rolex GMT's , I've had a A21J versions of GMT's and even they were ok , Date changes if you move Crown anti-clockwise & moves GMT hand if you move it clockwise.. is it the GMT hand moving rather than the hour hand ?
