+1 !!!

Just wanted to share my grails. I would like to thank @agonzaca for selling these to me. Thanks for accomodating me and for answering all my queries. Definitely a stand up guy. Pardon the not so clear pics, Really not good with photography.

Personally I would go with a no date v6s. Here's why.. The v7 SEL appears to have gone south and also the date on any replica OTB is a dead give away. They are getting nicer but no dice when you compare it to a gen. If you plan on frankening the watch then that's a different story but out of the box a v6s 114060 is a much better choice than a 116610 v7 imho.

I prefer the 2824 movement More than 1 road to Rome...

I've only read about this watch and have seen pics but man owning one is almost no different than having a gen! The quality and feel is unbelievable! Mine has slight mods like gen crown, tube, crystal (putting in AR crystal) and bezel assembly (not installed as of now!) I will post more pics when it's done but here is a teaser

Really, QC photos are for you to check that you're happy and that there is no obvious damage to the watch. This one looks okay apart from the date not being centred.

I say we hire Chris from C&W and have him 3D scan the cases and machine them using his cnc machines Sent from my LG-H901 using Tapatalk

"If your watch guy doesn't know that it's an eta or an eta clone, you probably ought to get a better watch guy!" Maybe. Watch guys who work 'in the trenches' (fools like me for example) are far more likely to see an etaclone than a traditional old school watch mechanic. My 'watch guy' friend works on vintage RR grade PW, Vacheron, AP, LeCoultre, Longines, Omega, Gruen, rolex etc (rolex only if you are a friend or relative) and has never seen an etaclone but I told him about them. I doubt he has seen an eta 28xx for years except maybe in a Tooter, Mido Commander etc. (I threw in Mido Commander because I have one) Many high line repair guys have probably never seen an etaclone, A7750 or Asian 21 jewel. Lucky them.

Oh I see. Thanks man. Looks awesome

that is for sure the porsche 356 Speedster ´57 so much that i am in the process of building one my self, starting of a replica - well we are in a replica forum
