On the 386 wonder if the date window will be a tad wider than on current stock 312's.. Also, the bezel rim..hope they get it right! Improve xtal would be great also..oh, and the p.9000.. Interesting to see if the lume will be strong enough on these reps..DLC/Composite color..dial color... Many small points that will make or break this watch.. Very skeptical here..
I love my 312 and if they come out with the ultimate 1:1 with p.9000 rep..I will be all over it! I hear a 389 is coming out in the fall with a p.9000 replication...hmmmm Christmas will be a nice time of year this year...
OMG. The leather on these must make you [censored] every time you touch them.eh?
Most I have ever spent on a pair of shoes is $400-- Magnani's. But, I have had for about 5 years and are in great shape..just re-sole them and they are like new.
The strap is amazing! I think folks are overblowing the tiny little things. You cannot say this is a rep on the wrist it is that amazing! Also, the CG on these rival most gens I have seen (in pictures;)
The bezel went through some repeated rounds of course grit buffying and repolishing. I actually burned it and then buffed it and repolished..I will polished a bit more when I get ready to put it together. I don't want a beat up look, but an age appropriate taken care of kinda of look.
@E you would save me some shipping and wait times brother! Bringing da cash with me..lol! The perks of living in Miami!
Added some water stains to the dial..With the help of some diluted acrylic paints. Toned down the white so it doesn't look that new. I kinda like the big spot on sound the 2 mark were the indicator fell off..might jut leave it the way it is not glue it back on..
Here is the start of a transformation..
Phase one.. Reshape crown guard and soften contours(needs more). Add a bit of discoloration to the pushers..
More to come..
