thanks .. yes BK... changed it 3 times back and fourth... pictorialed out. !!!

Graham Diver ..... BLACK KNIGHT I am a little confused by the diameter.. it measures 46 mm form the 9 to the 3 without the crown.. so this must be the measurement of the Genuine.. I really wish the genuine brands would make up their minds on how to measure their timepieces.. Movement is a A7750.. the Genuine Movement is an "IN HOUSE by Graham".... the rotor on the A7750 is very quiet, the makers really improved on this note this year..... and the feel of the crown revolutions is very smooth and tight...the Gears feel like there would be no problems.. (knock on wood) the Pushers act the opposite of normally.. the 8 starts and stops the chrono needle and the 10 resets it The sub dial @3 is Outrageous !!.. it duals as a running seconds and the hour counter.. and they both are "working".. COOL !!! Double AR is like the Chrono Fighter.. no different.. The overall finish is first rate !!! from the brushed finish on the bezel (kruzer for U) to the PVD'd screws.. and the engraving on the crown is sharp.. The pushers are one of the better if not the best out of the replications this year.,. the maker used first rate material on this piece !! The Lume will need charging when I took the lume shot it was not charged.. it is now very bright .. in daylight after being in the light for several hours now.. THE GENUINE......................................................THE REPLICATION Chrono Fighter - Black Knight The Dial (over view) THE DIAL Broken Down Sword Hands... Sub Dials Minutes @ 9 & Hours and running seconds @ 3 Respectively, because of the double crystal because of the sub dial I guess you could say the subs have a slight magnification.. very, slight What a Cool Replication.. the running seconds and the Chrono hour counter on the same sub dial.. Markers the Lume is layed down on a yellow base .. the Lume itself is a yellow green colour .. giving the marker a raised two tone apperance.. the Lume is also very glossy.. A view of the numerals at the 11; 12 and 5 minute markers.. crisp.. clean.. THE CASE Sub Dial Cut Outs Engraved Crown .. Nicely done.. Nice machining on the thread Crown and Pushers.. the pusher @8 starts the needle.. the pusher @10 resests.. Sub dial "eyes" have no apparent seams or glue showing.. NICE THE LUME It will get better with "charging" it has since I took this 1 sec shutter speed pic.. CASE BACK THE REST>>> The Strap.. very good .. the texture I would put just below the CD's a little less stiff.. btw.. I am posting this fact because I know kruzer will ask if I don't.. and the bezel clicks are "solid" W Macro Wrist S...... In conclusion.. the Black Knight will not disapoint !! .. no major problems.. the dust on the dial and hands will be dealt with.. I have enough radico to last . . and btw.. it wears very comfortably... not like the size would dictate. Quality is First Class .. as the Chrono fighter is.... I hope you have enjoyed the pictorial... the quality of pics are poor.. I have developed ...PICTORIALITIS ... NEED A BREAK FROM THE SHUTTER.. Aloha~Cheers R

Great Shot Vric !!!!!!!!!!!

How many "Yo Mama" lines are out there ?? I'll start... Yo mama's so dumb that she was sitting in the kitchen staring at a can of orange juice all mornin cause it said "Contentrate" on the back of the can......

I think sometime down theroad I'll probably end up with the black dial also .. hopeless I was going to take pics today of the leather and HK Tan Gator... but the Swordfish is in and I think that will take up most of my day .. but I will get the other srtaps up soonest ...

Looks Awesome on your wrist man !!!!!!!! Live Strong and Wear It Well L

don't know about this one as I am not a expert on watch repair.. i got the KT-22 from ofrei for the fact that it is for watches .. and is not supposed to gum up or run... or ball up and will not break down.. so I figured it is safe to use on the rotor and crown stem etc. ....

I use the microlubricant from Ofrei.. take off the rotor and lube the bearings in the rotor.. it silenced it for me.. and I understand alot of members do this.. all I used was a toothpick to get a very small amount of lubricant on the bearings..

SWEEEETT Euno !!!! Great Pic !!!

Same ..same

Damn Good Machiato this morning... the Fact is this is copa setic to the way of the world.. I have roughly a customer base of 2000 to 2200... for every one customer that raves about what we do.. there will inevitably be one that comdemns my way of doing things.. not everyone will be happy nor choose us.. the reality is I realize what I am dealing with .. and more than not I have to add mods or servicing to the movements... ergo ... the reason I am attempting to learn minor watch work.. Again to repeat.. I have never "ONCE" marketed nor advertised for any collector in my pictorials or whatever you want to call them.. for myself I go on 'proven " track records.. with "ME" there have been dealers that I spent alot of money on and ceased doing business with for reasons that I will keep private.. I can see if some site is trying to scam you .. but this is not the case... I buy from dealers.. (Plural) that provide "me" with customer service that reflects the "amount" of business "I" do with them throughout the year or years..I do not flip form dealer to dealer looking for a "bargin" .. because for me bargins are not substantial when it comes to after purchase service or savings.. All I am saying is do not "Group" dealers customers in a derogatory way ... because whom is anyone to say what I or the rest of the members are thinking and their reasons for buying form any one dealer... My view on purchasing products that are for esthetics or personal use is sort of like "Religion".... it is a "PERSONAL CHOICE" and not anyones business but that person directly involved in it Time to Move ON........... "IMUA" = FORWARD.... and all it takes to go 1000 miles is the "First Step" Aloha~Cheers Lani

I beg to differ but "I" am standing for myself.. I have never influenced any member by semantics to buy or not to buy from Joshua nor Andrew.. it seems to me that you would rather me and the whole forum jump on "your" band wagon.. and if we don't you .. use cute little euphemisms to talk down on the membership who rather make their own decisions .. Neither agitated member nor any collector.. dealer will make "my" decision... I do choose =based on product + Customer service.. and If I choose to pay a little more for after purchase service.. that will be "MY CHOICE" and if I am to be called whatever petty names because of this .. that is "your" problem ... and issues you need to resolve without the leverage of using the forum to sway votes.. I never wanted gas prices to go up.. nor real estate.. nor automobiles.. nor food.. utilities.. clothing ... hair cuts... ad infinitum.. but believe it or not that is the progression of the World Economy.. but all this..... time after time is past OLD...... before Jesus was a Carpenter "OLD"..... everyone has made their POINT.... don't buy ... but leave it up to each individual to decide ... because your "Crusade" to influence the Forum as a whole is very Transparent ... if they are not "Agenda Driven" then ..."Let it GO" !!!! Unless "YOU" are going to pay for "MY" purchases.. then it seems to me what members do with their money should stay their business.. as should other Fora business.. should be left to their acting Admin Team.. If you want to pay lesser prices .. then seek out a way to do it wholesale.. like I and the rest of the free world are always trying to cut out the middle man... but calling a crusade to do everything to "Ban" and boycott .. is just manipulation.. I buy whom I want to buy from .... PERIOD .... WHEWW.. DOUBLE MACHIATO AT WORK.... LANI

Sorry double post... due to a double machiato...

Why is it that members that shout from the mountain top and seem to have personal vendetta's ( but mask it with the forum members so called best interest in mind) are the ones guilty of just the things that they accuse others of... And what makes it worse is to be so insulting as to think we are malleable enough to rally to the calls of a few .. who themselves sought to make rather large profits.. not from work .. knowledge nor talent but for pure profit .. does this say anything about the point of "business" which I assume these men in China are doing... Why do we pay 3 to 5 times the worth of a diamond than it is truely worth??.. why is jewelry triple keystoned ?? Are we in the mindset that because the reps are from china that we should pay next to nothing ?? members who think of getting into the sales end of the business....and think of making say 50.00 usd for a rep...... forget to factor in CC vendors .... shiping... exchange for defects credit.... repair work... reshiping and reinbusement for customer shipping back.. don't look at all these varialbes and look only at the thought of making a net net protift.

HAUOLE LA HA NAU NOSLEN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!may today be very Special for YOU !!!

Breitling Skyland Graphite Macro Have a Perfect Week RWG !!! Monday Tuesday

I believe that is the AR making it appear blue Y... it is I believe a Black dial..

Paid 80 or 90 usd a year ago .. supposedly genuine ... the rubber feels good different form the replica strap I recieved with the V1 but who knows ??

Thanks V.... tomorrow I will post pics of the leather.. and HK Tan gator ... need the repititions on the Camera Supposedly Gen...

thank you very Much Gang !! .. I appreciate the kind words !! I have more pics of the tabs; case back etc. to post here tomorrow... .. but i posted a seperate pictorial on the divers strap... better balance and weight for me .. (the divers) check here >>> http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showtopic=79178 Aloha~Cheers R

I am really LIKING the graphite dial on Divers strap !!!! but you decide... The Breitling Skyland looks and "Feels" AT HOME on the Divers Strap.. it balances to perfect harmony on the wrist with less weight and seems to me to be more Centered and the Contrast of Colours is less Monotone than the SS .. bottom line for me it is much more "Manly" .. but that may change next week The SS Does loook Good ... it's a matter of personal preference .... So many Pics.. I am just extremely liking the divers strap thanks for viewing !!! Aloha~Cheers Lani

Thank you ALL!!!!!!! I'll be updating this thread with pics of the caase back and open case back... and pics of rubber strap and leather also.. sometime this week..

thank you pz... i cannot compare it fairly.. IMO two different animals .. the only thing I can state is the PO 45 will ride lower as the skyland is much thicker but well balanced .. the skyland on a strap will wear with better balance than the bracelet whereas the PO on bracelet is still rather large unless you have Bytors or Portr wrist size.. I hope to keep improving at this whole hobby.. thank you again gotta go.. have a great weekend All !!!!

Thank you Stephane.. yes, as I noted it will be continued... I had to sleep a few hours and I'm out the door so the case back and open rotor will follow.. this weekend... Thank you Rikske...
