I like it, just saw a dealer offering these up again. Have almost, and have`nt a few times on this hide.
Btw, did you have to punch out the holes bigger on the strap for the new buckle?
Whole heartily agree. I`ve had my 063 for 6 months now, and still loving it. Also I never gave much thought to mods on watches, but now seriously considering the upgrades on this one.
No-[censored], the only 2 times I was ever called out I did the same thing. Both pointed out non issues with the watch. One guy I actually showed him the flaws. He is now a member here.
The second, was such a Drunken Bottom feeder that who, gives-a-[censored].
As always, the people here have a far greater knowledge of what a Gen should look like, and the flaws.
Hell yah, and after that I will sell him some of my ocean front property in Arizona.
Sounds like that that guy has done his homework on the Idealwatch site...
Hey that_watch_guy, you may be able to get $900.00 from this one.
Awhile back on the another site, someone had a Baseball strap that had a great color for a Pvd. I mailed the guy and he graciously gave me some insight on how he worked it over. After I acquired 1 of these, a couple of coats of glove oil, and some Kiwi Oxblood polish.
Here's the results. If you like the dark red-rust for Pvd, this is Bitchin.
Could`nt resist my trio, 63c with bracelet, and 196 with a TC strap.
Cripes man, you got that baseball!!! I thought I mailed him 1st. Just mailed me back a little bit ago, sold.
I also have a couple of Molinas on the way. Got the Buffalo (your top picture) and black Calf with tan my pic. Picked up a used one from risti a little while back and was impressed of the quality of it. At $50.00 with buckle, a deal.
Black calf
I do not, or have had any contact with Joe on repairs or mods. But the idea that you should send $25.00 to send a watch back after so long is pretty extreme. Overnight is cheaper than that.
I`ve had 1 for a couple of months and a nice piece. Blue hands I took off and removed the blue paint. Looks a helluva lot better and closer to the Gen. Case, & bracelet are pretty good. Won`t accept Gen. leather bands though.
