thats true. my gen sub hands rotate the opposite direction compared to eta. i dont know about other movts tho

Just as I thought, thanks for the confirmation!

Now I wonder if any of the clone rolex movements or the low beat MBWs move according to gen or not.

This forum is such a great place, look how long it took to move to ban this neurotic fvck...

I got my posts deleted, thrown in the brig, and stoned with keyboards within minutes over on RWI! I gotta admit though, it was a fun ride out!

Sounds like complete [censored], the mechanism to move the hands would be the same no matter what, even on a rep GMT they dont [censored] up how you move the hands on a watch

Given your incoherent reply, I'll wait for an answer from a long time Rolex expert.

Not sure why you'd waste your time posting like this, it makes no sense, but I guess it's par for your course. You have some real mental issues; you should deal with them instead of wasting your time here..

Is it true that the one sure tell rep from gen is the direction the hands move when you rotate the crown? I think I read somewhere that when you rotate the crown clockwise on the gen, the hands also move clockwise, where the rep is opposite.

It's about time that Breitling did this, actually... Casio and Seiko have been doing this for years... Pretty cool to watch the hands move around to the correct time when changing zones!

No, you're obsessed. It's sad and disappointing to watch your downward spiral over an inanimate object.

If you get banned, it will sink into obscurity, and I'm pretty sure no one will care to remember anything you've posted or your ridiculous ramblings

(apologies to members that I fed the neurotic idiot savant troll)

Hate? Im trying to educate these ignorant people that assume that what the factories call a "V2" is not the same as an Avenger II Seawolf, they aren't even close 

Im the biggest idiot for wasting my time trying to educate anyone that their assumptions are completely wrong 

No one cares about your 'wasted' time or your Breitling rants. Why is this in this thread at all?

I know... this is a test, right?

A friend of mine just received a prometheus and loves it... the quality was top notch as I saw.

Last year, I made the bad mistake of ordering a Bronze Seal from Bob Wellson... they talk ]like they are a japanese company, but actually they are a thai company. This is the worst quality watch I ever received in all my life.

There are some great microbrands out there... as others have said, do your homework!

No, but National Lampoon always embraced the shock factor, alongside the very long running Mad Magazine:

I bought this watch but was disappointed in it ... unlike the SS, the bronzo doesn't have A2824 movement inside, it has a crappy, noisy Miyota, which I didn't notice till it was too late. Not sure if this is the case for all the sellers.

I don't think the Miyota is a bad movement for this watch, it's a 9015 beating at 28,800bph according to Puretime's site. Not sure why some have the Miyota 9015 and others have a A2824 and A2892 though :-S

but it's a fun Gen to wear once and while with wacky styling and comfortable wrist presence

Fun is subjective too!

Hi All...

I just needed to post a pic of this Pre-V style strap I have coming in that my friend in Europe just finished making... this is the second strap I've purchased from him and the quality is right alongside any of the high end strap makers, at a lower price point. I haven't been this excited about a watch strap for years... His work is really that good!

This is "petrol green" shark:

And here's the first "acid green" I got from him:

I sent this to a girl and have not heard back. Do you think this is a bit over the top, or acceptable?

 

Sounds like you may have hurt her fragile sensitivities...

She's obviously not worthy... at the very worst, she has no sense of humor. Just send her this:

I'm yearning for some strange.

I never could understand the Dietrichs... Case is butt fugly, poor visibility, cheap movement, high price, poor water resistance... But it'c comfortable (like a fat ugly chick, but you wouldn't want to parade her around in public!)... bravo, good job...

Mr. industrial designer guy, you're fired!

Actually, I think these and the seven fridays were borne from the factories making the originals. Possibly they were the QC rejects and they wanted to recoup... also possible that they fell out of the unauthorized third shift
