MilSub

It seems to run a little fast . Could it be the pallet lever that's out of place? If it doesn't stop the escape wheel as it should I think the movement would do what yours is doing. Picture and description of the pallet lever.

Sinn U1 PVD today, my first rep and I couldn't be happier. A question to other Sinn U1 rep and gen owners, does the lume color on the hands match the lume on the dial? On mine the lume on the dial has a green tint while the lume on the hands is white. Would have been nice if all lume was white.

I'm sorry to hear that. But you should probably be ok with just two screws holding the bridge in place. At least untill you can get a replacement.

Here you are: http://forums.watchuseek.com/showthread.php?t=207931 The second hand pinion friction spring is what causes the stutter. You could bend it a little to increase the pressure on the second hand pinion that would make the second hand run smoother. If you change the movement the ST16 movement should be a good match to the DG28 and the friction spring on that movement is easier to access since the ST16 has a separate auto winding bridge.

Here is a thread on the U1 rep: http://www.rwgforum.com/topic/106656-sinn-u1-review-leather/.

I have the Swiss PVD U1 on the way. I can't wait to get it here.

Thats why everyone looks funny at me when I try to pronounce Rolex

I know! The reason I'm not very active here is because I usualy dont take much interest in rep watches but this Sinn rep just looks so good and I don't want to put down the money for a gen. There are other watches in that price range that are higher up on my list. Thanks! I'll check out Joshuas store.

After seeing all the great reviews and pictures here I think I need one. I'll go for the Swiss ETA PVD version. What is the best source to get it? Is it the same watch from all the different dealers? How does the U1 rep compare to the gen? I know about the slight differences in appearence but how about quality wise?

I'm looking for ways to age the lume on dial and hands for a project I'm working on. Are there any good methods? I've heard of coffee, tea and cigar smoke. Anything that works good?

Thank you! Have a nice trip!

That's beautiful! Now I want one even more. Sorry for asking but wich one is Andrew? I'm new to this so bare with me. I just noticed that $218 is without shipping so for me it would be $263 shipped from TrustyTime. Do you know where Trusty ships from? Since I live in Sweden shipping within EU would make avoiding customs fees easier and I noticed that EuroTimez have the option to send it from an EU country. How much does the quality differ from watch to watch? Is the QC worth the extra $40 or $65 if it should be sent from an EU country? Another question, how is the WR on these? 200m?

Thank you! I've been checking the links now and why the big differences in price between dealers? To me it looks like the same watch, e.g. Eurotimez $300, Trusty Time $218. They even use the same picture. Am I missing something?

How are Idolreplicas.com to deal with? Found this one: link They allso have a few other milsubs.

I'm looking for a nice milsub rep. What choices do I have? I'm new to the whole rep watch thing so what should I look and look out for? Regards!
