Ahoy Matey! Welcome to the forum, mtbkr65! While I don't have any knowledge of the Ploprof models, I wanted to say hi, mostly because I noticed that you are a fellow lover of the Blackbeard Jolly Roger. Despite all of the more expensive Gens and nice reps that I have, I still tend to go back to it, cuz the lume and look is just so out of this world cool. And it's the only Helson that I still have in the collection. The rest of your collection looks spectacular as well, it will be interesting to see if your collection fluctuates away from so many genuine pieces the longer you stay here... Enjoy your stay, you'll be certain to learn some neat things and make some really cool friends.

I dont agree with anyone ...in fact I dont even agree with what I am writing in this post... The only thing I think I can agree is that I dont agree with what I am not agreeing to here.... and if i did then I could only agree to disagree with anything that I may agree with....

I dont think the better versions are made anymore mate...so I would try a WTB ... You will need to ask for a V2 or some guys call it an Ultimate version but it is a V2.... OTB they are very good but they do need some work mainly lume IMHO But you wont get one from a dealer...

Bah! I can take a hint! I'll bugger off and go and sulk in a corner... NOT!

Welcome mate... Nice watch box there... I take it the space is for the one on your wrist or maybe the ploprof Look forward to seeing how that collection changes over the time you are here

Well I've had the H-Fac and now have the V3. The cases are identical and perfect. No cracks, durable and lovely!

Unfortunately regulation can be knocked off kilter by shipping.... it does happen....I have had gen watches and swiss movements do it... but It shouldnt take much to do that mate...indeed you could do it yourself if so minded...however you cannot say that the seller mislead you in respect of the regulation mate.... Indeed I am sure Mark didnt mislead you in any respect.... and the issue of the fine scratch could easily be missed..... I believe Mark is a genuine guy and I am sure between the 2 of you that a comprimise can be reached I know it is frustrating but please dont get yourself worked up and make things worse for yourself in your mind..it is easy done..I have done it myself so I know the pitfalls ..

Portofino on Beads Of Rice from Yobokies.

Apparently the rep one being currently made is the maritime quality bronze ie CuSn8. So we will see a rep that has correct material and more importantly will patina as gen From my understanding they are using a gen 389 case for shaping it and as you say its about 2 months away from release They are also using that gen case for a new 305 too

1. Whats going to happen to the dogs? 2. Is that username too long? If not, I have a request to change my username... 3. So how can all 7 of the employees become employees of the week, shouldn't this T-Shirt Store in Ireland have one employee of the week? 4. Thats a pretty great gift from the Store manager... My friends mom works at gap and gets a watch from Tourneau every year, but a Vintage Rare Rolex for one week of great work???

This is one of the best reps on the market and also one of my most liked (and worn) watches! Tell your guy to perform the "Full-PR-mod" while doing the service. And: change the strap, it is crap, sorry. Look at this thread and contact Jack, he has the best straps for BP: http://www.rwgforum.net/topic/161079-iwc-5002-big-pilot-alligator-strap-source/

28mm for gen dial

Thanks guys for the recommendations. I do like the strap with the red stitching. Sigh, I know that once I put a leather strap on it I'll then have to get an ETA datewheel and some AR. Just a question on the lume, with the Carrera Racing gen, is the lume just on the hands or do the hour markers have it as well? On my rep only the hands have a small amount.
