Email posted belongs to Maciek (Sql_pl) proof forwarded to Mod staff here. Gen strap purchased, rep strap received. There are other details that I will not post as it has already been forwarded to the mod team. That being said, I respect what Freddy is doing. Kudos to him for wanting to keep things legit and impartial.

Strap was physically received and 100% rep. Compared my gen PO strap and rep PO strap with the one that arrived.

This IS NOT a case of failure to deliver. There are 2 fully documented cases where buyers have paid for gen straps and received reps. With all due respect, this is not the first time things have happened that didn't make sense. Some of the most heinous crimes have been committeed by people that seemed to be legit and pillars of society. Allowing someone to hide behind their "rep" is not the way to make an informed decision, go off the facts. Furthermore, I don't think I need to remind anyone here.... selling reps as gens on gen forums is exactly the type of thing that gives our hobby a bad name. To the powers that be, if you're confused or have any doubts about anything I've posted feel free to PM me.

What exactly are you looking up? I paid for a gen strap, you sent me a rep strap, exactly the same thing happened with jcc296. That's 2 rep straps that you've shipped as gens... wiggle out of that.

Still awaiting your witty response Maciek.........

Meaty stuff was sent to Warren via email.

Yes, I have multiple emails from him using that name during my transaction.

You're full of $hit. I bought a "gen" PO strap from you on TZ and contacted you using your glamorous atelier email account. You're using a different username now but even your current ad clearly lists an email address with glamorous atelier in it. You sent me a rep strap, plain and simple. People like you ruin this hobby for all of us.

Panerai used both styles of fonts on the 312/328/320/329/339/305 so both would be gen correct.

I'm a huge JLC fan!

Surprisingly lume out of the wrapper is quite good, on par with DSN's superlume and Angus' Superlume option. Here's a shot taken during lunch, closed the blinds but still had a lot of light in the room. 1/25sec @ f/2.8 so it's not an exaggerated lume shot with a 5 second exposure.

Got my Angus 322 yesterday and absolutely LOVE it! I took some pics for you guys but it's even better in person! The case has nice sharp edges. Dial color is a nice cloudy milk chocolate per gen but haven't seen a 322 in person so can't verify accuracy. Chapter ring looks great and appears to be rose gold per gen. The bridges look pretty good in person. Considering it's a 6497 made to look like a gen 322 movement, it's an awesome effort. The engraving is unfilled but that's a super easy fix. Fill with blue paint and wipe off the excess with a rag. Go grab one guys, it's definitely worth it!!!! Can't wait to get some straps for this beast!

Wow, glad to hear you and your family are ok! Your timing is amazing, I bought a weekend house and this past weekend the smoke detectors went haywire. They were going off sporadically from 1AM on and they're wired into the alarm system so if one goes off, they all go off. Ended up disconnecting all of them and pulling them off the ceiling. The whole time I was thinking... what if there is a real fire. First thing I'm doing when I get there tomorrow is install some 9V powered smoke detectors. Thanks for sharing that story!

285 for me today.

Can't wait for the review R!!! I posted this in another forum but saw the link to RWG and thought I'd add the info here as well. Lots of speculation that the V1 TG case is not ceramic. The Top Gun V1 is indeed ceramic, the pics are pretty damn conclusive I'd say! I have confirmation directly from the maker that the case is full ceramic, caseback rim is ceramic, all other parts are titanium except the screws on the movement holder and the movement holder itself is copper.
