  2. So you've got the QC images or your brand new best replica, like, ever, with that incabloc you always dreamed of, as swiss as cheese, but what about your timegrapher results? What dahell are those? Presets Beat Number Frequency, the vibration of a movement. The number of balance wheel swings per hour or how many times the watch ticks per hour. This is a preset, depends on the watch you order. 14,400 bph = 4 beats per second 18,000 bph = 5 beats per second 21,600 bph = 6 beats per second 28,800 bph = 8 beats per second etc Lift Angle The angle the balance passes through while interacting with the pallet fork. Important to be set correctly in order to calculate the Amplitude. This preset is per caliber specs. Most modern watches have a lift angle of 50 - 52 degrees. Generally lift angles range from 44 to 58 degrees. Some other settings are present, for instance Gen co-axials angle is 30 degrees. Results Rate How fast / slow the movement runs (in seconds per day) great : +/- 5 s/d acceptable : +/- 12 s/d If higher / lower? It is possible to adjust this yourself or ask your dealer to nudge it a bit. Amplitude The measure of the amount of rotation in the swing of the balance wheel, in either direction. Amplitude is higher when a watch is lying flat and usually falls when the watch is in a vertical position, due to increased friction. Amplitude can also fall as the watch winds down and the mainspring delivers less power. Amplitude is a good indicator of the movements health and if is too high or too low, or that changes too much in different positions, can indicate a problem with the movement. great : 270-310 acceptable : 250-270 If higher / lower? Ask for a different watch or have your watch serviced Beat Error The amount of time by which the duration of swing differs from one side to the other in the oscillation of a balance wheel. Generally speaking to get a beat error of zero, the roller jewel in the pallet fork must be perfectly centered. great : 0.0-0.5 ms acceptable : 0.6-1 ms If higher? Ask for a different watch or have your watch serviced. * Please note that if you are reading your QC from the dealer, you will generally receive only the results of the watch lying flat. All the above recommended measurements are from that position. The measurements in other positions may vary

  3. Just wanted to share a photos I snapped while in Hawaii with the banana seawolf. Wore the watch while swimming in the pool, ocean, and some snorkeling, out of the box waterproof. (I wanted to take a picture with it underwater, but I never got around to it)

  11. I've only seen one such box in person, and I was struck by how rough it looked. I've made a few custom humidors out of the same mahogany wood OP used, and my boxes were a lot smoother and cleaner. The finishing on the Teak box looks a lot like what I remember. I assume you've read this 'risti post on the boxes: http://www.network54.com/Forum/638808/message/1330527764/The+Pre-V+box+post

  12. I like this new Seamaster. A bit strange that they have ditched the wave pattern on the dial which was one of the most distinct features of the Seamaster Pro. However, the design is now closer to the old Pre-Bond Seamaster.. They have even reverted back to the same date window design.

  15. There is no etched Crown. Bk replaced the Glass because the Datemag is too low on the WM9. George told me he will update the Crystal with better Mag. If you need a etched Crown the best way is to order the watch with the build in Crystal and replace the Cyclop. Better way go for a gen Crystal
