Hi guys, Anyone know if the Daytona 116520 Noob 1:1 Best Edition 904L SS Case and Bracelet White Dial SA4130 from Puretime with the Asian Super Clone 4130 movement will take a gen dial?

The rep bracelet doesnt fit the gen case. I had to mod the end links on mine in order to mount it.

He told me he purchased it from an AD... And then took the item off. Go figure.

Or is he just selling reps as gens? This pilot... http://www.ebay.com/itm/IWC-Big-Pilot-7-Day-Power-Reserve-Automatic-46mm-18K-White-Gold-Ref-5004-02-/130900271436?pt=Wristwatches&hash=item1e7a43a14c And he shows the serial number. The date looks a bit sunken. Can experts chime in?

Lets get this off before some poor dude gets him self a bracelet that doesn't fit... for $2000 The hole in the side of the clasp, dirt and poor circular polish are a dead beat giveaway. Cheers, R http://www.ebay.com/itm/IWC-Stainless-Steel-Bracelet-For-IWC-Pilot-Ref-3717-Size-21-0mm-New-/130989321803?pt=US_Watch_Bands&hash=item1e7f926e4b

No one?

As far as the misalignment, its the entire dial in regards to the case/crown. In order to really see the reason for this I will have to open the case. In the second picture above it almost looks like the "PANERAI" is slightly tilted with regards to the "RADIOMIR" or the whole dial tilted counter clock wise. Either way, physically having the watch confirmed my initial feeling of asymmetry of the QC pictures. I would appreciate if any PAM experts could chip in.

Hi all, I need help with shipping something outside of the US. The object is small but the seller just won't ship. If you would be able to help put please PM me. -R

I saw a post in which you said that "the screws on the crown" of your 380 fell out. Which screws were you referring to? The lugs?

Sweet. Just ordered along with a NATO strap. Thanks buddy!

Hmm... Wasnt aware. This is my first PAM. Where can I get replacement screws? Or do I have to get lugs as well?

Thanks for the reply. I asked them for more pictures and indeed it was fingerprints. All is good. I will post pictures once it arrives.

Hey guys, wanted to check if anybody's else shares what I see. It looks like there are scratches between 10-12 and that the dial is misaligned. Does anybody else see this?

Can't get it off my wrist

From what I've seen the pearl and setting are always off.

Wanted to know your opinion. The guy wants $130 for it. Thanks!

Great write up. Thank you!

After seeing all the reps, super reps and the frankens it's quite soothing to see the amazing craftsmanship of the gen. Wear it in good health!

Thanks for the comments. I have a new dial incoming that I will need to swap to make this piece complete. Perm, I have seen gen bracelets being sold and its not something I would spend my money on. The cheapest I've seen was $1400, which for me is simply ludicrous.

I love the bracelet it is one of the most comfortable things I have worn. I didn't do the best job modding it to fit the case so its not 100%. It still looks great thought.

I was pretty sure some of them where a DSLR. Which lenses did you choose to take along? I have a Canon 30d and still havent found a perfect way to store it during long hikes where it's both easily accesible not a weigh down. The AW100 really does look like a great piece, nikkor 28-140mm aperture higher than most standard DSLR lenses. Thanks to you might have found the new digital camera. Also could it be that Nikkon has taken Canon in the digital race?

Hike, what camera did you use on this trip? These are some fantastic photos.

Fantastic adventure! Thank you for sharing. From the video it looked like they almost ran out of runway space.

By trial and error the lenght of the stem should be around 13.85mm. 5mm down from the original 18.85mm.
