Gen Cats? if that is the right one from your sig?

Not a fan of the BCE, it looks a bit to blinky for me, might go for one if it had a different crown, but i had to zing those pics, that is nice, are there any give aways on this? very nice watch!

They have them in Bielefeld in Germany in the window so i assume they have them in stock

Mine is from Andrew and fitted with DSN hands and glows all night, it realy is that good, no relume i just got lucky, the hands are a bit brighter than the dial but only a bit. Where is yours from L Dizzle

A bit of an ingy day after the bracelet work over the weekend it just feels great, should have a date weel soon too then it will be about as perfect as it could with out buying a gen and swapping the case back over.

From wikiA tachymeter is the name of the scale sometimes inscribed around the rim of an analog watch. It can be used to compute speed based on travel time or measure distance based on speed. The function performed by a tachymeter is independent of the unit of distance (e.g. statute miles, nautical miles, kilometres, metres etc.) as long as the same unit of length is used for all calculations. It can also be used to measure an industrial production process in units per hour. A tachymeter is simply a means of converting elapsed time in seconds per X to X per hour. Measuring speed To use a tachymeter-equipped watch for measuring speed, start the chronograph at a starting marker of a known distance. At the next marker, the point on the scale adjacent to the second hand indicates the speed (in distance between markers per hour) of travel between the two. A standard tachymeter will only determine speeds greater than 60 units per hour using this method; slower speeds can be measured by decreasing the unit of measurement. Rarely, a tachymeter function is implemented in a fully digital watch, with digital display. Some watch sellers will use the term tachymeter incorrectly for a non-calculating seconds bezel. The scale is generally only accurate for elapsed times over approximately 7 seconds. Some watches, not common, have 'wraparound' or 'scroll' scales, which extend the readings to lower speeds, typically 45 mph. Some tachymeter scales are on a rotating, indexed bezel. This allows two additional modes of use: The tachymeter bezel can be aligned with a free running second hand, and, more subtly, can be used to average speed over longer times/distances. Set the rotary bezel index opposite the position of the minute hand, note the mileage. Glance at the tachymeter scale 60 units later, and _average_ speed will be indicated. A little mental math allows interim averages, easiest at 1/4 (15 unit) and other integer values. Tachometre Tachometers on automobiles, aircraft, and other vehicles show the rate of rotation of the engine's crankshaft, and typically have markings indicating a safe range of rotation speeds. This can assist the driver in selecting an appropriate throttle and gear settings for the driving conditions. Prolonged use at high speeds may cause excessive wear and other damage to engines. This is more applicable to manual transmissions than to automatics. On analog tachometers the maximum speed is typically indicated by an area of the gauge marked in red, giving rise to the expression of "redlining" an engine

or take the shot under UV light, im sure a photo shop wiz could sort the color out again. I bought the UV on sat to make these glow, one point to not is that the fiddy and the sterile sub have lume as good as my seiko war watch! BTW these were again taken with my phone with no chance of over exposing it. Just using the auto setting on a K800I

Thank you all, please see here

I answer all PMs even if it is someone asking for a how to make a strap from the start to finish including how to chose the leather, i tewll them to do it the way i do, learn as you go, I must say i do not get a lot though. People should however learn how to be polite, not just in PMs but in every day life too! And i refer to all people not just members here who are in the main polite.

Got to be white man!

Wearing mine right now!! love it

Very good for your first, and belive me your 2nd and 3rd will again be sooo much better.

Ok resurecting this old one but just goes to show what info we have round here. Does a 2836 have to have the date wheel fitted, for example in an Ingy with a 2836 that does not require the day wheel, does it have to be there? Will it be there? and is changing it the same as on a 2824?

The only swiss bit will be the base plate, the top bridges will be all asian.

I doupt that it is any better or worse than you will get from the people here, but at least you will get it from the people here.

If you want to see how good they can be look below!

IWC will have released the Mk VXII before we see this one i think, why is it they can put out the rep panerai 1938 before the gen but have not even made this one!

Well i am fine "two Dolfins for me"

I like the thought of that little mechanical engine ticking away on my wrist or as you say "the marvel of mans craftmanship, detail, and ingenuity"

I have recieved my on from reg, my wife is going to write a review on it so i wont say to much but over all i think it is good for the price, the one from reg that is, can coment on Andrews

I have no idea who is doing the work but DSN seems to be the only person who is willing to do some thing other than just churn out the usual, the only collector who seems to be inside any thing. Next would be Silix as he has managed a number of his own projects but i am not sure if he can get the quality that is demanded by a project like this. We are very picky people when it comes down to it.

Well it looks like there are lots of people behind this and it would prove a popular seller, but what we need is a manufacter behind this, has anybody mailed our collectors in particular DSN?

Is that a new one for you Stephane? @ Nanuq, is it not about time you got a new watch mate, that one looks ready for retirment, I know a good home!!!!!!!!!!!! This one for now, i got it back after i bought her a BR02 from Reg but maybe something else tomorrow

The one on the right 69 seamaster on G10 one of my 4 military "Westend watch Co" My war watch, i hope never to wear this again
