Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Just an idea I was toying with lately, thoughts would be great Any interest in a gen-spec vintage Blancpain Fifty Fathoms AquaLung? I realize Davidsen has a 'rep' of the vintage BP's (2nd watch I owned), but the accuracy is, well, pretty poor (dimensions are way off, incorrect movement, incorrect dial fonts/design, incorrect case back stamping fonts, etc). My mate has the complete watch, and I’m trying to convince him to let me borrow it so I would be able to do a proper gen-spec replication. What would be done: -Entire case and misc parts would be 3-D laser scanned (to 100microns). -I would invest in some macro gear to get high quality pictures of the case back engraving, dial, and insert. -Fabrication: After the vector artwork and CAD models are ready to go, I would be working with 4 different manufacturers to realize each part correctly. Essentially, this would be a completely custom project. Everything minus the period correct genuine AS1361 movement would have to be manufactured from the ground up. Price point I’m thinking would be around $2k (around 1/10th of the gen’s cost). Any interest?

I felt the need to get a PAM. Did my research and ended up buying from a member from another forum. Got a noob v3 111. Spent some time with some cape cod and sourced a new strap. I really like it. So vastly different from my Omega SMP Chrono. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Wow, just wow! i need one!!!!

Since I have all four and since I haven't seen a post with all of them in the same picture, I figured I could post my pictures. If you ask me, they are all different from the Genuine crown. I'm happy I listened to Kime and dbane. All crowns win in some discipline IMO. Athaya closest in terms of diameter and teeth (teeth shape &a number of teeth) Phong closest in terms of material color/tone Yuki hast best logo and bulged top. What do you think? Order (sorry I accidentally switched the last two crowns after the first pic): First photo Genuine, AthayaV2, Yuki, Phong Other photos: Genuine, AthayaV2, Phong, Yuki Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Awesome as usual,, his quality, and own coating formula is the reason I now only fit his crystals to my customers watches, in fact we have a partnership now Crystal AR Service Partnership with ProfSteve

Very nice brutha!

@redroom, seafoam It's gen. I got it a couple days after it was released. The rep is out though and looks pretty good. There is a thread next door with some comparison pics.

Big Dazza 6538 mod again today...

With Raffles or Riyi you just have to asked them for the "branded" version when you order. Riyi's are a bit better quality. You can also check with member MyManMatt.

Funny, I am actually modding a Phong FF since the past few days. I wouldn't mind having other options for the dial even though Phong's is not bad at all. Subscribed !
