I have had various 28a's in my time but always searching for that grail old school honpo and unexpectedly I received a PM from a great member saying he knew of one for sale. I would like to thank that member and also old school member Promoters who sold me this at an absolute steal of a price...I love it and purchased an amazing dirk strap for it which I think looks great. Specs; Honpro 28A Big Silver Arrow Swiss ETA 2892 power reserve with Soprod Lello Datewheel Lello Crystal with Chieftang AR OEM Crown Crownguard adjusted by The Zigmeister for a tight fit PVD from The Zigmeister - Apparently the same factory that did this for Panerai - Awesome pencil grey finish. Relume by The Zigmeister. Strap by Dirk. Photos;

TC answer your flippin emails LOL

I'm not sure why I thought they were different cases now and not like the older MBW's...I thought I saw this in another post. So whats the best hands to use on this one...I see Andy used TC's hands and they look pretty good.

Andy yours is an old school case though yea...?

Having just grabbed the NDT 1665 GW dial and movement Tanya had for sale I thought it would be a good start towards this build. So I'm on the lookout for an older MBW case/case set but whats the opinion on the latest MBW cases..Are they as good as the older ones and do they fit gen parts?

The noob factory should seriously hire Zigmeister to do the reluming as the current guys as blind as a bat.

Red it would be way cheaper to get a luminova set relumed with tritium like lume from The Zigmeister

Andy I'm sure you will be fine with that IWC mate it's a beaut.

It looks fine just over magnified due to the plexi but you're going to swap that anyway.

Thanks gents it was a good deal with both parties happy.

But remember that this alleged service dial is an old Tritium one and not one of the newer luminover ones so is rare in itself. Anyway I did sell this locally in Australia for $4700 just for the record so everyone was pretty much on the money.

LOL Good to see you mate any new breitlings?

That is a watch that I have been wanting to build forever but very few have the contacts needed for a build of this caliber...It looks fantastic!! Also where was the caseback from or is that secret squirrel stuff as well?

Remember also that the Noob factory is supposed to be releasing a whole range of new Rolex sports models in the future....When in the future I do not know but if they are as good as the current Panerai range we will be in for a treat.

They normally test the waters with these first reps and if they sell well then produce a higher quality version...I would pass on these particular ones.

Not bad but needs a little work;

...Keep walking.

That watch looks very nice...How accurate are these to the gen JKay?

No problem mate I will just have to wear my sunglasses Great job on the upgrade!!

Boss any way to have a theme that does not have the white background as a choice.?

Thanks lads

Guys I got a great deal on this watch some time ago and since then I have swapped in a set of tritium hands and a tritium pearl as both were service parts. I am probably going to put this up for sale over at vrf or maybe ebay but not sure what it is worth now. This is a gen 1680 all tritium with 93150 bracelet and vintage box. Edit: It has the original grey datewheel but the photo has made it look whiteish. Cheers.

I mean it's a pretty standard heard it all before story really so who knows what the truth is but someone ran away with a load of cash.
