it just may need a small drill bit to open a hole on the MBW insert (from the back of the insert).. that may work well.

Going Gen for Saturday AC/Lani

Yukis has the better insert the only catch is you have to buy the pearl separately... the gen can be had on the gen fora's and ebay sometimes... better price on the gen fora's though WSO is cheap but inaccurate Clarks has the incorrect pearl also but the size will fit the acrylic.. and Clarks also sells the acrylic pearl... theirs cannot be bleached out.. WSO and Yuki's can.. Yuki's fades the best to silver metallic.

So the point is it will be a better rep?? So you posted the rep in your initial post?? or is that also a genuine pic?? Sorry, I'm kinda lost in the purpose of this thread.. are "you" taking orders for a Modded rep?? or is the dealer going to offer this?? I'm just trying to clarify your initial post.. and if it is a dealer .. wouldn't he/she just post up on their web sight?? Are you making a better dial??.. who's doing what and for how much?? the post is to me vague if the intent is to solicit orders?? or are you just sharing a "project"?? AC/Lani

OMG regardless of the proper post placement.. Too Liberace-ess for my taste..

Don't mean to sound negative .. but it's still a rep isn't it?? is this the gold watch that will be priced north of 6k?? for that money I think I would buy a genuine of another brand .. or a nice 18k bracelet.. jus ma .02

I buy exclusively from Joshua.. but if I am going to use an Valjoux 7750 .. I'll buy one and send it to Ziggy for a swap.. it actually comes out the same as buying the rep with the eta 7750 movement.. but I usually have the dial lumed and the movement serviced at the same time..and if I am going to invest in an eta 7750 the watch needs to be in the Super Rep. category ... and with Ziggy's work I know it will perform for years to come.. AS only a select number of my reps have the Valjoux 7750 transplanted in them..but I think that they are worth the upgrade... although the A7750 is a very good movement after Ziggy services them.. the eta 7750 is great after the servicing.. even a couple of years ago the eta 7750's were going North of 700 usd..

If I didn't have so many B-lings that after awhile all start looking alike.. the B01 would be a nice addition to a collection the bezel is certainly a nice change as are the beefier Indices..

The colour is perfect for the fiddy!!!! thanks for sharing the images !!! AC/Lani

Yes, I got 2 from wholesale outlet.. of course I'm sure Jojo's genuine.. is ... well.. genuine .. and looks excellent for a franken project but WSO's looks good and I plan to use it on a Comex project.. for the price it's acceptable..go>Here AC/Lani

I like the style .... but the thread ..imo.. should be more of a beige and heavily waxed meaning a little thicker with a nice waxed look.... .. but snowy white makes the look too..... amateurish.,.for lack of a better word..

Has anyone with contact with Reg.. tried contacting him for info??

Reminds me I have one more Lello Ingy DW for my Ti Ingy.. gotta get that done and the crystal in to Chief for his next run.. I love the Ti and soo light..

Both Joshua and Andrew are College educated business men... they are not your typical rep merchants..let's say others are working round the clock to answer emails.. I'm not saying that this is factual.. and they relay the pertinent info to Joshua, and reply with his answer.. good way to service the customers in that in this day and age of .. instant gratification.. seems like a smart way to always be available.. he does answer all my emails, himself..otherwise someone else could not remember all the details from a month ago.... when he is on biz trips in China.. he will reply via blackberry.. weather boarding the plane or on the road.. I've gotten so used to his immediate communications.. it spoils me and I have to remember with everyone else on the net.. especially when ordering parts from around the net.. it may take 24 hours at the least to get a reply.. and another 24 before I get another even though I send it immediately after the first reply..

ambidextrous

the caveat to dissecting the genuine ...imo.. is it still doesn't cover the issue of the movement.. the movement dictates the crown position.. so there is no way around that .. fingers crossed for that issue as well as the other details.

it is another under-rated replication ..imo.. the genuine

No one's blaming you .. fyi.. marcl I just wanted to clear up any misconceptions you may have been led to believe.. it may be in all likelihood the person commenting on the clasp got a defective one.. who knows ?? Here's your choices for dealers who ship inside the EU.. 1. Perfect Clones, 2. Puretime, 3. ETZ ... maybe ETZ has cleaned up theirs communications ?? dunno know I'm still waiting on my items, not shipped out yet. ..it's only been 2 months now..but hey.. no ones perfect.. We in the US have been dealing with the devaluation of the Dollar forever.. so I understand how ya feel.. the shoe is rarely on the other foot when it comes to the dollar and the Pound.. AC/Lani

hermaphrodite

I have been purchasing my reps from Joshua now for some years.. and not once has he left a issue hanging, and has gone out of his way at times to source a part for a watch I bought from him .. or gone further in sourcing me parts for a project I'm working on.. even to the point of not allowing a sale .. which in his opinion may be defective or not up to the standards that he and I agree on. I am always pleased with his after purchase service.. A lot of dealers have come in with a bang and promises over the years and fizzled out .. in over their heads .. Josh has been a fixture and a dealer that has ..imo.. influenced the way reps are made, all for the better in the past few years.. some of our dealers have taken the makers to new heights.. and Josh along with Andrew.. and King have proven they are an effective force in the rep world.. AC/Lani

There are lot of different makers trying to out do and out market the next.. ergo the secrecy in the release until the last minute.. or in this case announcing it in advance.. perhaps because to the competition.. who knows.. the makers are reinventing the wheel, so to speak.. because.. imo.. the PO is like the Sub.. it will never fade away.. but as far as the genuine.. to service the CoAxil movement costs about 4 to 5 hundred.. and not all watch smiths have the special tools.. ergo it has to go to the AD for service and that's like taking it in to the Car dealer for a tune up.. mcuh more $$ involved..and I never trust the car dealers or AD's in giving an honest appraisal of the work done.. Although a gen is a gen.. I'll stick with the franken UPO and soon PO.. I myself would not pick the PO "over" the Rolex subs.. but they each have distinctive personalities and I like them both AC/Lani

Welcome AeroM I think I know of whom your referring You've found a great community full of info and knowledge.. take you time an sort through all the threads.. revies tutorials.. and if ya need an assist .. Just Holla.. AC/Lani

Chief has a run to sign up for ... now is the time to at least get the crystal AR'd the rest you can deeal with later.. order a Clarks 295c remove the mag .. using heat.. send it into Chief for AR Your half way home.. for me the AR under the mag really makes the watch.. I cannot take my eye's off it .. it really did come out better than I thought it would.
