  1. So, PAMs and RLXs are the most accurate and making a list of 10 most accurate rep models would consist of some models of these brands imho

    would have to disagree there

    most PAMs and Rolexes are not very accurate out of the box, most contain glaring flaws to the trained eye

    with Panerai, the exception is the Ferrari range, possibly the most accurate reps out of the box,

    if you are looking for easily attainable accuracy:

    smp chrono with eta datewheel,

    iwc 3717 with eta datewheel+ AR

    porsche design watches

    some of the chopards

    HBB

    new omega speedmasters, with 6-9-12 7750 config

  2. ^^ the OP was talking about the AC Chronograph, which as jot9011 said has some serious accuracy issues,

    I dont get why they just didnt make the seconds at three version,

    they have modified a 7750 to do this already, and the thickness of the movement is not an issue here

  3. i use this formula:

    - could i afford the Gen

    - can i mod it to 99.9%

    - will it look good/ sit well on my wrist

    if the answer is yes to all three: I go for it

    so far I have a

    - seamaster chrono fully modded awaiting gen bezel installation

    - Planet ocean, Gen dial, AR, awaiting Bezel insert (from gen bezel) installation

    - IWC 3717 AR, DD wheels, Re-Lumed

    actually double AR'd the crystal on my seamaster chrono, absolutely not true to the gen, but when you see the results, you realised they should have had it on the gen, really takes the watch to a new level

  4. For asian 7750 chrono watches you must use "A". All the rest of watches I have (asian and swiss) use "B".

    I use the minimum numbers of winds per day. It is enough.

    1- (Excuse me I'm a newbie :yeah: , but...) Why would you wind a watch with a diferent movement in a different direction?

    2- Why would you wind the the watches the minimum amount? The Zigmeister has said many times that it is impossible to overwind a watch.

    3- Does anybody know if it is possible for a watchwinder to ruin the movement of a watch?

    asian 7750's only wind in a clockwise direction, unlike their swiss counter-parts which wind in both directions

  5. You make it sound exotic. :huh:

    Titanium is the ninth-most abundant element in the Earth's crust and the seventh-most abundant metal.

    true (well,I had it for the tenth most abundant), but the extraction process is what makes it expensive, its a difficult substance to isolate, hence the reason why some consider it exotic

    but to address the OP, as Josh has said to Francisco , we will probably see Ti coating on reps in the very near future

  6. Fortunately for my goof Wojtecki, TC, and Panatime all make watch case holders, as well as watch strap holders. :p

    So, same link info, practically the same "look" and the offer of Woj's email stands to anyone who needs it.

    BTW, good luck in finding a watch case in the trade forums. I see them come up very infrequently. Still, it's good advice.

    i'm pretty sure he means the watch case, as in what the movement goes into
