I have no idea how accurate that is but it looks great

The Aqua Terras are lovely, nice first choice

To a certain extent I would say don't worry if it's not 100% accurate to gen - the chances of meeting a true watch geek are pretty slim in the real world so I doubt you'd ever be called out!

Enjoy it if you like the look of it and don't stress too much about tiny deviations from accuracy IMO!

Lanikai,

I must be dense - so let me see if I understand this correctly:

1. Buy clarks crystal

2. Remove cyclops, and send to Chief for AR (double sided)

3. put cyclops back on the appropriate side (top), and then remove the AR from the top. The cyclops will cover the tops AR which is under the cyclops

4. Remove AR from the bottom side EXCEPT for the area under the cyclops.

If I got that right, then I have one question. How do you remove the AR from the bottom, except for the area under the cyclops. You said that you tape it. Do you tape over the cyclops area (along the straight top and bottom lines of the cyclops for instance) and then remove. Etc. etc. If so, how did you make the curves?

Sorry for all the questions. This is an incredibly cool mod.

Best

I left the AR (double sided) under the crystal and on the inside of the crystal..

so both sides of the crystal has AR under the mag

AC/L

I believe that the idea is you coat the entire crystal, add the cyclops, then remove the AR from the outside, leaving the inside intact

Looks good

Cool, cheers!

Looks great

I'm sure it's already been posted before but what have you done to it?

Run, run like the wind! lol

I feel quite sad that this was all before my time - it looks like it was entertaining, if a little fraught with difficulties at times! lol

Loving that chrono tudor, not seen that before

Today I have on my recently acquired Parnis handwind homage to U-Boat:

Saves going to the gym... lol

If you dont screw down the crown totally all the way it looks much better. Just screw down all the way and then back off one turn.

lol

Good idea

Nice! She's a lucky lady, will look forward to the updates

IWC Portuguese 1939 rep today

Back on this strap after I decided the stingray strap I got for it was too dressy for everyday! lol

One step forward...

lol

Still, I think it is a remarkable achievement for the money!

I'm tempted, but I want the SD

Cool, thank you very much for clarifying that, this is all good info for those of us who aren't that knowledgeable on Rolex!

So in that top picture, the crown on the right hand watch is more accurate as it sticks out further past the bezel teeth?

Cool, thanks for the update

So, gen bezel and bracelet are the recommended improvements.

Further to this, Tribal posted above, and in another thread I read today (http://www.rwgforum.com/topic/111709-my-wm9-sub-hybrid-v2-case-with-v3-eta-2824/), that he felt that the crown was too recessed and needed to be replaced with a gen crown to be accurate. Would others agree this is the case?

Thanks all

If someone asks "How can you afford such nice watches?" I just say "I can't" and wink.

lol

I might use that one

X,

Are you getting this info from George, from some secret backdoor to the website, or is this speculation based on the visible progress at the time of the website going down?

Thanks

Purely based on the fact that the TT and LV went so far past their expected delivery dates!

I was hoping that it might be ready by christmas just gone, but if I get it before next christmas then all will be good lol

lol at the panic on there.

Many people have ordered from Getat, several on RWG1.1 - order without worry!

If you want a custom job that isn't on the menus, email him to ask and he should be able to give you a price

It'll be a while yet... lol

And then you could steal it when she's not wearing it

I vote for Mary
