Amazing. Thanks.

huh ? still alive ?

rafflestime on ebay sells them

The crown is quite good. It's shape is more flat than the TW sub's crown which is closer to gen. I would say a gen crystal is recommended if you want the crisp magnification and the shinier beveled edge. But I think that can be held off. A gen bezel however is a must! As for the engraving I think I'll lightly sand it down to make it less deep and give it a light polish as well. Reason I got this is for the engraving :-D.

if you sand anyway - remove it - it looks like the crystal gasked is not high enough - cheepest way whould be to get a better gasket.

always when is see this review i have a feeling its sponsored by N-factory

after this review i bought an N112 which was disappointig .... while im very happy whith my latest "H" watches

cheers,

Frank

Nice frank any chance of a colour shot

Is TC listed as a dealer here as he seems to be shipping lots of parts out?

now i want the TC vintage bracelet please

okay - now you sell me your V2 case

pics or ban !

cheers,

Frank

all the best !

cheers,

Frank

as an ex-owner of gen 000,112,176 and 183 - i must say you must be completly wasted if you get a gen Panerai today

I have tried to contact TC through a number of channels, over the last 2 weeks. He has not responded to any of the messages.

He has a great product, but has failed in my eyes on the customer satisfaction part.

He commented that he isn't doing this for profit I believe, so it's hard to be mad for his lack of communication since he's doing this as a service to us members.

However, his behavior does not make me want to trust him with my hard earned money. In this regard, he is no better than the their known as George.

I hope he proves us all wrong and makes good on his deals. Until there are a few more positive transactions I say stay away.

+1 im also sceptical - i also find this offer for the price - $595 + Paypal + shipping - just for the parts not really kicking

looks like its PAMela weekend ..

cheers,

Frank

very nice GTG yesterday

ultra rare SSD V1vsV2 and Noob GMT

but wearing the 390 for the last days ...

cheers,

Frank

hey star do u ever keep any of ure awesome builds???

thanks - no

it looks pretty decent without the crystal - this one may have some potential

i think i found my next project 1675 under 300

i will order the white dial and try to aged it a bit .... lets see.

i just can not stand the DG movement in the 1655 - so this is really a nice option ....

thanks a lot !!!

the big question - did the WSO bezel fit ? did you use the whole assembly or just the bezel ?

cheers,

Frank

no chance to keep dial and hands ?

here are the pics im talking about (sorry stolen ,) )

the bezel looks shitty - maybe just the WSO bezel whould fit - saves some $$s too ...

cheers,

Frank

Frank, to my knowledge the 1:1 1675 from the Cartel is the same mid-case as the 1655.

Just correct engraving, wrong bezel.....

So, I think you can install genuine spec parts.

thanks ! - so why everybody starts with the 1655 ?

somewhere i read that the 1675 doesnt take gen parts like the 1655 ? ...

mhhhm maybe i just should try it

cheers,

Frank

after i saw some more member pics from Joshs 1675

i think its not soooo bad

did anybody tried to change plexi or bezel with better parts ?

i also whould love to see more pics of the white dial version

thx!

Frank
