That sample sale was awesome! Otherwise, I absolutely hate Tourneau. Every time I walk into a store I feel like I'm walking into a used car lot.

Note that they might be using outdated pics. Ruby's site shows a V1, but the last time I asked, she can only source V2. A common issue is for crooked markers at 3,6, or 9. Ruby will send you pics of the watch so you can inspect it for those issues before shipping.

I'm not sure that there is a rep PAM 123, as it doesn't strike me as being popular enough to rep. Someone correct me if I'm wrong because I'd definitely be all over one if a reasonably good rep does exist.

I just saw those watches the other day. The guy has a store in the NYC diamond district and also sells on Risti. FYI, he has a bunch of dials too.

Can anyone confirm if a gen bezel will fit in the current BCE batch?

That's great. I'm absolutely in love with my IWC Ingy Chrono, but am afraid to wear it too much due to the seconds at six. So....how do I sign up for the first DLC run?

Gen owners seemed to be reporting a lot of problems with the strap changing system, e.g. the lock not engaging and pins slipping out from the case while being worn (although I had a gen PAM 48 where it worked perfectly). If Richemont couldn't get it right, I worried that the rep factories won't either.

I kind of like that watch. Is it the same 44mm case size as a Luminor?

Is that a special "destro CG", or is that a standard CG flipped around? If the latter, I assume you would have to remove the CG pin and insert from the other side?

A must visit is the Diamond District on 47th St between 5th and 6th avenue. Also, I've heard the name Aaron Faber held in high regard Aaron Faber Gallery, although I've never personally dealt with them.

IIRC, he doesn't specify on his website, but he told me as of four days ago that he is selling high beat. He's supposed to be checking if he can still source low-beat versions.
