  1. One thing to note though.. I have seen different types of leather straps on PAM.. so this does have a chance to be gen.

    But gen or rep, the quality isn't worth its asking price to me.

    Nope...agree with folex.  It's rep for sure.

  2. Does anyone know the flaws on this crown guard? I am considering a gen CG but want to make sure I'm not replacing something that is already good.

    Thanks in advance

    Depends on the version you have. The H-factory V1 body needed to be refinished, pin needed to be reflattened and the lever needed a complete reshape as it was all wrong. Also depends on what serial you have. Mine is a J-series which has a fatter body. L and M series have a thinner sharper CG body.

    Here's mine...but of course I did other mods to it. ;)

  3. Yep....390N is fine otb but if you're super picky like me there are tons of things that need modding.

    Here's what I did:

    - Noob case

    - Shorter hex crown tube

    - OEM crown

    - OEM CG

    - Sapphire with colorless AR (the original had purple AR)

    - DSN 390N hands

    - Flattened and polished cannon pinion

  4. Like others have said....the movement is a Swiss 6497-1 with novodiac shock assembly. I could understand your frustration if you bought a 036 with a display caseback but you bought a 040 which is a closed caseback.

    Honestly though....if you're trying to pass the movement off as gen...Don't. Because anyone can tell it's a rep with the glued engraved plates once the caseback is off.

    Take the refund offered if it bothers you that much.
