Wow! Yours is looking nice as well. The strap is freakin' cool I am owning a Di-Modell Tornado strap which is my favourite flieger strap and will take a pic soon.

I just asked him for re-luming the watch But seriously: I took a look to the real deal before and figured out that actually not all markers are lumed. Just the "main" markers @ 3,6,9,12. The SL colour seems to be C1 (white) and I asked The Zigmeister for reluming with C1 as well. He did a very nice job especially on the wide hands which take more lume than thinner models. I really love that watch @ alant: A swiss 7750 is running about 250 usd and the prices for The Zigmeister's service can be found at his capabilities list.

Hi there, I received my 3717 back from The Zigmeister and as usual he did a wonderful work as on my other reps (e.g. SF, EVO, AC and so on). Thanks, Rob! Modifications done: Movement swapped for a swiss 7750, ETA day/ date wheels swapped as well, Markers and hands relumed with SL C1 (white). Watch is running slow 4 sec. per day! Not bad I guess I took some pics for your pleasure showing my 3717 on a G10 leather strap which -in my opinion- makes a huge difference. A closer look: And the very nice ETA day/ date wheels (well aligned, isn't it?) Finally: A wrist shot from today:

Hi folks, thanks for the compliments (thanks by-tor! I am just training my photo skills with my new caplio R5) . I'd like to answer some questions: The mvt. on my watch is outstanding: as mentioned: 2 Secs per day. fast, water proofness has been tested (yes, rolli, I noticed your thread) , the tube/ thread has been a bit stiff when I received the watch out of the box. But when I got it back from The Zigmeister it went in very smooth. Referring to the bracelet: I wish my Avenger rep (probably you've already seen my recent postings) had that bracelet in Ti. the new AC is out with that bracelet and I hope our asian friends will rep the Ti version some day. Here is another quick shot showing the re-lumed hands and markers. Please note that The Zigmeister re-lumed the small triangle @ 12 and the squares @ 3,6 and 9 as well (like genuine!)

That SF is still one of my favourite reps: ETA 2824, dial and hands relumed with SL C3 by The Zigmeister. Watch is running fast 2 secs.per day. That is C.O.S.C. quality! Just two quick shots for your pleasure: A wrist shot from today and a closer look to the wonderful dial

Hi there, probably you've seen my AC thread. Here we go with further quick photos. Please note the wonderful date font (yep, it is a gen DW!) Enjoy Isn't it an accurate date font Franken right from the catalogue And the genuine hand set and dial:

NO, BOB is selling just the straps, additional you can order neutral high quality buckles. The clasp of my 201 A is a DSN item as well. I know that there are slightly differences between the genuine dial and the DSN dial. But I 'd never show mine as a gen here but as a damn good rep and I like it BTW: I like the pics of the other fake 201 A as well

As I didn't assemble rep hands but genuine hands there was no problem with the pins. Mvt. is a swiss 7750 (with the right pin thickness), hands, dial and DW are genuine as well. Sorry guys: I don't have any idea to source another DW. I regret that because I want to upgrade my EVO (which is already improved by a gen dial and swiss 7750), too. I hope that lello will continue his DW overlay projet for Brtlng soon.

Yep. you're the winner Actually the base is one of the early AC reps with the open 4 on the bezel. I assembled a swiss 7750 mvt., gen dial, hand set and date wheel. Believe me it was very tricky to get a gen date wheel but finally I was succesful BTW: The watch is a great time keeper: 4 sec. per day. Waterproofness to 60 meters tested. Not recommended for diving but good for a car wash

Hi, How do you like my avenger chrono? Is it a rep? A Franken watch? A gen? What dou you think? Just a little advice: Look at the date fonts, the dial, the hands, the ar coated crystal and the silver pins of the hands

Yes, that watch is truly outstanding (and I could save roughly 19 K $ as well )

Hi there, just want to share a few pics of my recently purchased and slightly modded 201 A. This watch has been purchased from DSN and was quite good out of the box. Just a few modds has been done: AR coated sapphire crystal swapped for a non-ar-coated one Fatter crown and fat cg installed and

Time for an outstanding pre-vendome watch: 5218 201 A:

That's correct I really don't know if that mvt. will be repped at any time. I am afraid it is a bit complicated. Even on gen watch fora I read about several problems with the gen mvt. But nevertheless I am crossing my fingers that we will see a beautyful 5011 watch at some day.

Hi, I am just back from my AD's store and took a look to the current catalogue: Besides the Big Pilot with automtaic pr mvt. I've seen that a BIG Ingy (45,5mm!) is out! It seems to be engined by the same mvt. as the BP. There is a lot of rumours but does anyboy aboard know if and when the BP/ pr mvt. will be repped by our asian friends? The gen BP: And the huge Ingy

I have a gen ETA 7751 in stock. Does anybody know if the Datora rep will take the gen movement without heavy duty moifications? I saw the pusher for the date set on the rep as on the gen and I am curious if a 1:1 swap would work?

Congrats! I am a proud owner of a "The Zigmeisterfied" 196 (7753) as well. A great keeper as you said, Rob

Sounds good Please post pics, okay?

shultz is back again: Besides my pannies and Breits I went for an IWC this time. A few minutes ago my new 3717 arrived at my place. I swapped the ss bracelet for an original Flieger strap. Just one quick shot because my lousy cam doesn't work... BTW: The strap is also brandnew and probably you'll find it in the sales corner soon because my wrists are not strong enough.... Enjoy the quick shot:

archi, what do you think? Of course The Zigmeister did that outstanding work! I asked him for soem retouche besides the lume job. Great result isn't it?

Hi there , I just received my PAM196 daylight (7753) which has been fully modded, too. I've got just two quick wrist shots but want to share with the forum. Crystal has been singel side ar coated, DW is reprinted, dial and handset relumed with SL C3 and the crown is a 2,1mm palp crown. Watch is running great +2 sec a day! Enjoy my quick wrist shots:

No, that is the grey/ black version (better: it was promised as that version...). Actually the dial seems to be brownish which is an obvious flaw. I already have a genuine dial in stock which will be swapped asap. The outer ring is the same wrong colour as the dial.

Rob, beware! I am thinking about further tricky jobs @ chieftang: Of course I will borrow it to you. Let's talk about about an ar discount!

Sure @ V Yes, you are right. Probably I'll ask Rob for tritium lume close to the colour of my recently modded 1680. But I like the C3 better because it really glows like hell.
