Nice! Thanks Andy!
-
What is the orange push button for? Thanks!

Plaifender,
I see there is only one DSSD sold on Trevor site. Were you referring to this one? Thanks!

Hi guys,
The bezel on my 243 suddenly turning rough (bad clicks). Sometimes no clicks at all for a quarter turn. Has anybody fixed this issue before? Can Pam 243 bezel removed?
Thanks!

You are welcome. This is the dial I'm planning on getting.
I think it would work well with this watch's gold hands.
-
I think maybe the longer one would work with the gen bezel if I double the number of bending on it, but I've never tried.
-
I had to use a gen bezel spring. Both rep bezel springs were no good. The longer one worked on with a rep bezel.
-
Underneath of rep BCEs, the quality varies.
This is a picture of two rep BCE bezel wire I took out of my watches. As you seen, they are not even in the same length! The shorter one on the right which is thicker, is from my v2 BCE with correct DW. The longer thinner one is from v2 TT. The longer one can wrap around the bezel, but the shorter one can't, which makes the rep bezel turning a bit rough.

I was trying to sell my gen bezel several days ago, but no one wanted it. It's largely because at the time no one was 100% sure that the gen bezel would fit onto a rep BCE. I have seen two people fitting their rep v2 BCE with gen bezels, so I kind of know it would. To make the long story short, I decided to keep the bezel and mount it on my TT v2 BCE for the first time tonight. The end result... success!
However, my initial attempt using the rep bezel spring wire failed. The wire was thinner than the gen bezel spring, thus the bezel couldn't lock itself to the case.
My next step is install gen movement or Swiss ETA 7750 with gen DW and gen white numeric dial. Since I really like BCE, eventually, in the near future I would like to own a gen.
I've removed bezels from both of my BCEs. One is a v2 with updated dw and the other one is a v2 TT. The trick I've found most useful is instead of trying to prying the bezel off with a screw driver or knife or whatever you find (after the 4 rider tabs have been removed of course), it's better to just lift the bezel on one corner (I used my thumb nail pushing the bezel up at 40 minute mark), and then turn the bezel counter clock wise. Since the bezel spring is not a closed loop around inside of the bezel, you may be able to get the bezel spring wire out of its groove from its end tip. This method worked for me, but no guarantee it would work for you though.

Are you getting the SOH or SOHC?
I wonder if anyone know the quality differences between the two. Joshua advertises the SOHC as it's made by factory makes Hublot BB, which leads me believe the SOH is made by a different guy.

Looks like someone is selling one on ebay.

I agree.
-
Right, but I don't know if I can discount a possibility which for some reason Ken Trading is making a different MM20. In the beginning, Ken Trading did make a version of MM20 with mineral crystals which didn't have the distortions. I mean the watch in the ad, its CG looks kind of funny, but the crown seems to be right.
-
This
Or this
Hasn't made up my mind yet. Both of them need some wrist time to be fully wound. My day end will be this one in the pool
-
This is my gen looks like.
Case back.
See distortion and brightness of the logo.
See crown guard.
-
Looks great BT!

-
Right, which is very interesting to me that they are selling MM20 watches again on their website.
-
That's what I notice too. The font is a little bit light. However, I don't know if Ken makes different MM20 now or not though.

Debaufre Ocean 1
Just bought it. Excellent product! It's going to be my new swimming watch.
-
The original owner didn't keep the box? Interesting... The crown looks gen. I don't know if Ken Trading is currently using different sapphire crystal now or not, the crystal is definitely not the domed sapphire they have on MM20 from the past.
-
Has anybody taken the bezel apart and see if it can be improved? Using dental floss can work, but it doesn't appear to be an elegant solution.

I go to WUS sometimes. In fact, I don't go there very often now days after I've discovered RWG. Sometimes gen owners do make me feel that they are less knowledgeable on their watches. What's the point of spending the $$ getting a gen if you can't notice/enjoy all the wonderful details?! I'm really trying hard not to say anything on that thread, but I don't know how long I can hold my silence.
Other than all other differences people mentioned earlier, the one thing I have noticed between the gen and rep is the quality of the stainless steel. The metal on my ex-UPO (gave to a friend of mine) is a bit grayish compare to gen. This is especially apparent on the bracelet.
