This would be a grail rep for many as it is the direct predecessor of the PO and we all liked that. I had the luck to view and handle a NOS one a couple of month ago and it is truly an iconic watch. The NOS prices was a bit rich for me though
A very interesting discussion indeed, At what point does it become a gen,
well the way i see it never as it was not assembled by the manufacture, even if every part was gen. It would be a hard point to prove if every part was the correct year and you had papers for the case but you would be wrong to say it was gen.
Now here is another question, if you had an Oris that used a standard 2824 and you replaced it with another 2824 and put the correct oris rotor on it is that then a franken or still a gen
Well if he wants to pay for them then he can, all i want is the postage covered but if you want to go to the bay please do and i will keep what i have for me
Now what if the person genuinly belived that the watch they had was real, no matter how bad it was, just look at what people pay on the bay, How pissed would you be if some cock in a suit tryed to take it off you!
We in the main know what we are doing, of course we would never go into an AD with a rep, But the person who does not know what he has!
Hmm i think still they would have the burden of proof, not hard as they are the AD but still. And knowing what i do about some AD staff i dont think i would trust SOME (not all) to find their own arse with both hands
Well it will be easy to find the watch smith,
Just look around for some one who is glowing
Is he realy using radium?????
Not doupting you for a second but i dident even know it was alowed never mind available. Hats off to this guy, top top work, propper workman ship
There is no reason any watch rep or gen could not be a tool watch, as long as it survives what you chuck at it then it is a tool, I was in to see a surgeon the other day and he was wearing a nice cartier it is still a toll for his day.
Me i have used ny ingy/speedmaster and rail master for military work so i would class them as tools!
Pred fan i could live with it but i would have to polish the crystal, and an old polished one has a special shine to me!
