Confirmed it.. it is the same.. as the one in this thread..

DSN

The maker is out of dials and components for Josh's model 212 which is what I will wait for.. April is the scheduled month for the re-stocked 212..this one is mineral glas but with the blue AR.. hopefully like the gen I have seen up close..now if I remember correctly the sub hands are suppsoed to be black.. if this is the cse it would be a easy fix for the Zig I actually like the 212 over the 111H.. after viewing it in the AD way back.. just there was no solution for the lack of AR with mineral glass.. the current model is by the HBB maker and I'm hoping it to be worthwhile.. I have the 253 Regatta, with the blue chrono needle but I also like the matte dial of the 212.. this is my 253

You can use duct tape rolled up into a ball and apply tension not force in the turning of it.. 10 sec. a day is not bad though .. I would leave it be.. the Rolex case back even for a rep can be a little difficult if it's tight.. I use the bergeon tool or a rubber case opener ball6 seconds a day is good so if it ain't broke..is my thinking..

Sweet sushi... Lookin good R CG takes patience.. not just skill.. those hard to get at inner workings.. arrrghhh.. perfection is painful at times.. Great work R .. SOP..actually..

imo.. no one to date has the logo spot on.. meaning the correct angle of the lines.. hopefully FGD can someday do the 201A.. I'd be down for that..

Nothing on ebay under 156 usd at the moment.. Ofrei has the 2836-2 for 130 usd >On this page

I hear ya B..

Gotta find out if their using the insert that I got and modded it to fit .. it may very well be the same insert that I got after the initial release..

If this is by the HBB maker.. he is so tight with parts.. and won't give the dealers a thing.. usually he makes the dealer buy the entire strap..

My choice would be a PreV 201a DSN dial(if available) or better, a FGD dial if he makes one Helenrou case with Jackson Tse bezel (the Helenrou bezel is not correct for the PreV) correct historic CG.. LH or equivalent this is the gen I prefer the PreV's over the latter models.. to me they have more character..

Yup until the point of the failed group buy Neil did not have issues with his deliveries,, controversial yes,.. you didn't wanna cross swords with him.. He .. imo was, and is not a thief.. it was just a bad situation that got the best of his temper.. but he was in no way a thief..that much we all know.. pride and ego got the better of the issues that were present at the time, like many.. strong points in personalities can also be your own worst enemy..

Here's the pic of the gen CG and bezel

The only reason for the banning Dems, was the threats made by Neal.. when asked not to sell anymore watches until he cleared up the group buy fiasco ..I'm sure the banning wasn't an offensive maneuver .. Regardless.. just waiting on some kind of confirmation on all the news regarding Neil.. although it does sound legit.. I'm hoping this one time that it is not..

Love those BP's

About once every 2 years.. but now I have the Pumpkin on ss and the black on divers.. as it will stay for another 2 years..
