Ordered from Paul today, lets see what happens. Silix did write back saying he had what I was looking for, though I did not want to risk it with what I have heard. He did say that the watch now has a new dial.

Silix, Paul and Trustytime all have pretty much the same watch, at diffeing prices. Paul is the lowest price, Silix has a more "accurate" rep... Go with Paul given the issues with silix shipping?

I am more after the general size and look anyway, I have aged dials and hands using coffee so it will look beat up soon enough.

Looks like Paul is the way to go, and I will keep and eye on the case grinding project

This has probably been asked 1000 times, how does the quality from paul, silix & Andy compare. Being 100% accurate to history does not really bother me as much as the overall look and accurate case size.

Looking for a no crown guard bond sub, I notice Silix has them but have read some negative reviews. Any other sources selling with the original 38mm case size, I looked at trusty time but his are 41mm like the current subs
