Sod that buy a harley, put a loud exhaust on it to keep the people away from you and ride it like you stole it.
Serriosly, Small bikes in biult up areas are a great solution with conjetion and fuel but you have to have you eyes and easr open to avoid the loon car drivers,
Speaking from bike experience in Paris, london, new york, bermingham and many more
Both fantastic but
The dial with the correct date window makes it, the wrong window breaks it
I think that the current chief AR is too good for this rep, what yiou get on the rep is so close to the Gen, where as chief AR with out the blue tint would look wrong (better but wrong) if you were trying to get this close to the gen.
With Crown is 47ish, with out about 43 from the drawing i have seen this is a big tool watch 4.5mm saphire, still deciding on AR, i am tempted to go for just inside coating.
It may just be full of dirt, other than that the spring is broken, try some wd40/light oil, and see if it will spring back with a bit of work.
if not speake to your seller and see if you can get a new clasp.
The only visualizations are branded (my brand no one elses) i may sanitize one.
The regulator is going to be the wifes Christmas presssy, I will make MK 2 in the new year
Well i see you point of who wood use the 2000m, i tend to use the depth rating of how strong the overall watch is, how indestructible, I had originally envisaged a watch for the military that would be as indestructible as possible. I balked at the costs of producing this before but the more i think about it the more i want to do it.
BTW this would be the rough size of a deapSea
Well the ball bearing seams to be there on the side that i can see, is it also there on the other side?
It may just need a bit of "tweaking" with a pair of pliers
Would people be interested in a genuine 2000m WR dive/ military application watch with
German production and QC
Swiss ETA movement
Sapphire 4.5mm thick
blinding lume
Single sided AR (inside)
Bracelet with dive extention
weight 260 gm with bracelet
I don't even think Nanug could destroy this beast
all the good things we look for
with a guarantee
limited edition could be branded (Not RWG, T dont worry) could be sterile
And priced not too much over the price of a super rep, my aim is below €500

So that proves the point that the A3135 is nothing more than an A28xx clone with bits screwed to it fo looks alone,
I would remove this useless addition part if i had one of these just to stop it coming loose, did you find the screw in there also?????
I think a tiny drop and i mean tiny, tiny tiny drop of thread lock with solve this, normally the first thing i wold try is a gentle crimp but it is soo easy to crush the tube then thread lock is the easy way, but too much and you are up the creak as you will never get the hand off so be care full.
Thanks for that Lani, i have not bought a watch from a dealer for ages and now you post this,
Lazarini had the gen that i tried for a while in Brussels and it is just an outstanding watch, oh how you tempt me.
Any one bought on in the EU and dont like it??????????????????
One thing to consider, if you get an ETA it would most likely be an old/surplus movement and generally need servicing, at least if you get an asian clone of the 2824/36 it will only be a year old at most!
Personally these days i would go for the Asian clone.
There are many posts on here and other boards where the Asians have been stripped and compared to ETA 28xx movements with very positive results.
If i wanted a ETA, i would order it in from Bolly.
being where you are the only person i would send a watch to is Ziggy.
There are about 15 different parts involved in starting and stopping the chrono, ziggy may know the common fault here but i dont sorry, just to say i doubt it is something you could just pop the back off and fix your self.
