Just send a PM as Im also interested

I have a good mixture of Gens and Reps including a superb franken 3717 and get enjoyment from wearing all of them, the reps as much as the gens, however I buy the gens (second hand) when I can afford them knowing that if I have to, I can sell them again and release the capital where as the reps wouldnt fetch much money.

One of my must have watches is the 3717 so last year I finally got one from Trusty and instantly knew it was a keeper, since then it has been well traveled and modded until I had the near perfect 3717. First I got a gen dial and hands from Concepta, it then went to Domi in Germany to have it fitted. Got it back and enjoyed it for a few months but wanted to take it further so saved and bought a gen case, This time it came back looking superb and the love affair started all over again......... for a few months. Another investment and I ended up with a gen day/date wheel to finish the watch off along with a genuine swiss 7750 movement supplied by Domi. I now have what I feel is the perfect 3717 other than having a gen IWC movement but cannot see the point as it keeps perfect time having been serviced/ pampered and calibrated by Domi. The watch looks perfect on the bracelet but the well documented hole in the clasp always bugged me so wore it on a TWB strap......... that was until I found out that dB2 did the perfect mod to hide the hole, so bracelet went over to the States and here now are the final results and sorry Kleber555 I cannot be tempted to sell it I would like to say a heart felt thanks to Concepta and Hacra for the genuine parts, Domi for his superb work and craftsmanship and dB2 for the superb job he did on the bracelet. Thanks guys

Great review, which dealer did you get it from

I,ve had a Steinhart Marine Chronometer, can only say good things about them, loved mine until I sold it to buy a B&M

He,s worked on several watches of mine, from mod work to reviving a dead watch, top man. Only ever use him now.

Only thing I notice which is a give away is the 29 and 31 minute markers are missing from the V2 otherwise its gorgeous, had one for a while before moving on. Enjoy a great watch

Cant agree more, J is the only one who gets to lum my watches Top guy

I,m a biker of 30 years currently owning a ZZR1400 but I would say that an average driver in a 458 would beat hands down an average rider on a Ducati 1198 around a track as you have to have alot more confidence on a bike to do a fast lap time, HOWEVER in the real world of road driving a bike is unbeatable, you can accelerate to 100 and naughty in a VERY short space of time and back to legal speeds very quickly and in general are alot more fun. although a zzr1400 doesnt proberbly get you laid as much as a Ferr458

Hi Thought I would share my lum-tecs with you. I love the tungston M Series and last year I bought an M7, great watch and of cause superb lum, however the lugs were'nt polished, jap movement without hack, no date or screw in crown NON of which detracted from the joy of owning it. All these have been improved on the new 2010 range so just received the M25 which is again a superb watch, this time wearing an ETA movement. Both watches are keepers so thought I would throw some pics your way:D The M7 2010 M25 with tungston bracelet although it also comes with a superb thick leather strap AND a rubber strap.

Yep

Absolutely, I can always replace the reps as they come up for sale quite regularly but a good x-33 is harder to come by. My list of reps will grow again as I get restless

Here's the reason for my recently culling of some of my reps, I know its not a rep but I had to share it with everyone as I,ve been after one for awhile now.

Have to agree, Domi's the man, The bezel on my V2 Super Avenger jammed, mailed a few modders and no one could help, Domi said he would look at it for me, next thing I knew it was on its way back to me repaired!!!! I am now lining up my watches for a bit of tlc servicing with him. Thanks
