@ Concepta

No, bought this baby off of a member on a different forum. It's coming it in a few days

@ rodgerdodger

Both genuine and rep should be here soon, I will compare the quality when they arrive.

Just bought this one recently. Now looking for a gen kevlar strap.

When the watch arrives I will post pics of the full package

I pity people like you.

I will let you know Mike, the problem in germany is the CITE for protected animals.

Very hard to get croc skins.

Indeed such a shame. I guess God has made them specifically for watch straps. Maybe a day will come when a giant croc will come around and show you off on his watch forum... And all the others will go "wow! What did you make this is one out of? A german? Those are really scarce these days... Hard to find... Damn those human right activists."

Other than hands fitting ETA movements they seem to have interesting spare parts.

Though there are no actual dials, casebacks, they do say "Daytona, Panerai ect" when it comes to hands and other parts. Are replica sales slowly moving to Ebay?

What do you guys think?

The AR does miracles for the watch. Is there a simple way of getting this done? Chief's AR runs seem very limited and complicated to catch on...

I wonder what inspired these slight variations on the dials. It looks like they are fairly random. Improvements?

Daytona dial

Here it is

Im no expert but it looks a bit strange. The spacing on Oyster Perpetual is what strikes me the most. What do you think?

Thank you - I am considering a dark brown gator with white stitching. Or grain brown leather instead, because I will receive a black IWC rep strap in the next days.

Other strap suggestions?

I think the blue gator might be really nice indeed. Here is a beauty from the watch boy clan.

Blue gator strap

I wonder how kevlar would look on this gorgeous piece.

Enjoy the watch, it's definitely a winner!

This is actually a pretty poor one... The ebay scams that buyers are pulling these days are out of control. And the worst part about it, no matter how good your seller feedback is ebay almost ALWAYS will side with they buyer.

Though it reminds me of these email scams going around:

I am sorry for using this medium to contact you, My name is Steve Owusu, I want to inquire from you if Gold business is movable business in your country.Sir, My Step Father he is old so he told me to take only 30 kilos Gold from the 250 kilos that belongs for our family so that I will sale the gold to further my education and take care of my life, sir I want you to advice me on how to send the 50 kilos of the gold to you by DHL or FEDEX.Sir right now the 50 kilos is with me, your urgent reply is highly needed,I want to use the money of the gold to pay my school fess,my father said that he will not pay my school fee again because he is not my biological father, my father died when I was 2yrs old. Please, advise me what to do now.

Absolutely astonishing

That is freaking awesome. Thank you concepta! Still patiently waiting for mine.

I have sent a PM and am waiting for a response

My favorite one.

As spring is a time of awakening not only spiritual (Easter/Passover) but physical as well (nature), and it certainly seems to be just that around the forum with "new, old members" emerging from the abyss, I wanted to take this opportunity to both say hello myself and extend warm holiday wished to all the members of the RWG fam! I haven't been active on the forum other than reading and occasionally asking questions and it's about time to try and change that

Cheers,

I want to say St. Peter's Basilica but as I have never been to Rome, one can never be sure. I would love to see a wristie in the Sixteen chapple!

Beautiful Where is this shot taken?

I am super confused by buying this watch. Some dealers state 40.5 case diameter, some say its 42 others write 43.5 Whats the deal?!

why not buy the Series Speciale version of the Navi which already has a 6-9-12 configuration and a flush datewheel?...

if you want to use a tri-compax dial/configuration dial - like the one in your post - you can use a 7750 and an eta 4.5 datewheel...that's what i did on my old skool tri-compax Navi - but i can't vouch for whether the newer model tri-compax have the right 4.5 alignment?...

if your question is whether you can mod a rep tri-compax into the 6-9-12, i don't think its an easy task -- unless you have access to some rep movement parts...

and if the question is more focused on the case - i know that you need an old skool tri-compax case to make an eta7750 franken...and this doesn't appear to be one...

R-

At the end I want to be left with a 6-9-12 version. The question I guess is can I fit an original dial in and a 7750 ETA movement into the 6-9-12 Navi versions currently being sold (like the ones below from Perfect Clones).

Also wondered if anyone can tell me what are the differences between these two:

bl10031 navitimer serie

and bl10034 navitimer serie speciale

both from PC

Thank You!

I was worried that was going to be the case. I tried to PM Andreww but he seems to have that option blocked. My goal is to have a 12-6-9 Navitimer running on the ETA 7750 but after all I have read about the sunked datewheel I am having real doubts I will be able to pull it off. From the pictures on www.1-pc8838.com the datewheel seems to be quite flushed with the dial.

Im I correct in thinking I could mod the below version (3-6-9 Navitimer from puretime or andrew, current available version) with an ETA 7750 and a 12-6-9 dial?

Thanks for your time!

Hey guys.

I am looking to buy this beautiful watch with the swiss movement. I saw Angus selling it for $768 not shipped. This already adds up to around $820 shipped since I want this piece shipped safely (the only thing I thought of was to ship the movement and the casing seperately) Is there a better place to but or a better way to ship or both?

Thanks
