Yes, the mod is the same with the asian movement. Touch wood, but both of mine are still good after many months. Because I'd read of the problem, i always _very carefully_ wind back before forwards and haven't had an issue.

You've lost me too 0_o... I think perhaps you want to mod it to smooth bi-directional because that is your preference? But just in case, to clarify, the gen Slevin does click uni-directionally. This is a very good rep btw. To make it gen-like all it really needs to is to have the inner parts of the clasp bead blasted (and the case to grow a mil ). The gen AR has a stong blue hue.

It's not smooth on the gen. It clicks.

I like this watch but have never seen one in the flesh. Nice one! On topic... on my day off i went and tried on gens of the Breitling SOSF and Super avenger. Bezel alignment on both was off. On the SA it was waaaaay off. Have seen a few omegas with the same problem. But never two in a row like these Breits.

Recent experience has taught me that even WIS's need to have actual knowledge of the actual flaws to spot our reps. And from across the room, or even arms distance? Forget it. (by actual flaws i mean for example; the sunken date wheel on a PO chrono, not myths/outdated info like ticking hands and rusting steel).

BB browser works very well here!

Congratulations! Wear something gen for the memories!

Ploprof V2 is the the closest to gen rep i own. Edit: Oops, sorry just saw this is the rlx area.

Just received the latest issue. This one is largely about In house movements and ladies watches. The features are: • Inside the mind of a collector • Closing the gender Divide - Patek phillipe's new in house movement for ladies watches (cover story and image) • New moves - In house engineered movements. the debate continues • Elegance and Style - melding fine jewellery and timepieces • Dive Bouys - The best Dive watches of the Year Any interest in the scans?

Awesome. I like subs in general. But this is the only one I LOVE. Thanks for sharing.

I've bought this one too Stones on case but not on numerals. Excellent ladies rep.

The best DSSD rep you can buy atm and this is a very good example. Enjoy!

Gen or rep? Off the top of my head. Both the Seiko Monster and the Sinn U1 have date at 3/crown at 4.

Wow! 9.5"! This is my only TT rep or gen. It is truly awesome. MBL TT this is a big watch, for reference, my wrist is 7.5"

If i was you, right now i'd be buying the new cartel UPO with correct logo.

Back in Aus now, was just a four day visit for mostly work (but some GF). Heading back mid/late Dec if you're nearby I'll buy you that beer. May even head north for couple days . As usual like a good roman, I ate well and did some shopping hehe. Going to have Richemont refinish the Slevin while there. Have kept one link brand new to compare finishes.

Just followed ThinkBachs tute from RWI (found in his V1 Vs V2 compare) and it's working perfectly now. Here's what i posted in his thread: Thoroughly recommend for your v2.

This is called a "Valuation". It includes pressure test, timing test and (I've got to assume heh) verification of authenticity. All these details are recorded on my customer account. Better be accurate 'cos we went diving the next day Yep Mj

Haven't worn this in like 6 months so today (tuesday) is the day:

You're right, I was confusing the values for ATM's with Metres as i posted (i do know the correct terms, just typos). But everything else is correct to my knowledge. I was told specifically by Richemont that no work whatsoever was required and assumed this meant no gaskets were greased and the watch case wasn't even opened. The AD said they were capable of testing to 20ATM's and just began the testing procedure at 5Atm's, informing me that it failed and not testing any further. I take it to mean that inexperienced judgement of a pressure machine test is useless and people using mall repair especially should be wary of results (good or bad) if even the AD's level competence is subpar.

This is about pressure testing. I took my newly acquired gen Slevin into one of the local IWC Authorised dealers (Hardy Brothers for any Aussies reading) to have it pressure tested as it's second hand. They began the test at 50atm's and it failed instantly at the top pusher. I even saw with my own eyes a rapid stream of tiny bubbles rising from the pusher. They failed it and asked if I wanted a service. Because I know how efficient Richemont are in SG, I refused the 4-6weeks to have Hardy Bros send it away and decided to take it Richemont myself. While there I waited for only 40mins while sexy girls brought me ice cold drinks. Richemont certified the watch to be testing at spec (120atms) and doubled checked it for me after I produced the AD's pressure test report. I didn't see the machine Richemont were using but saw the one at the AD's. The Ad's looked very technical to me with purple coloured fluid in it (Nothing like the 100atms mall tester). However, Richemont said the machine Hardy Bros were using is incapable of testing this watch correctly. Richemont charged me exactly $0.00 for this, the AD charged me $55. I will be taking Richemont's certificate in to get my money back. I'm sure many of the more technically minded peeps here would know exactly why this happened, but figured people with similar low levels of 'knowledge' as me may benefit from hearing this. I guess the point is; if you can't even trust the AD's machine, and or technician's judgment, to test correctly, you probably shouldn't trust the mall job either. The thread is titled part one in case i can be arsed telling the story of my Moonwatch's four continent world tour to fix a loose chrono hand. (Oh and Mj if you're reading, the watch pressure tested to spec and is keeping -5secs a day. Very happy )

Why not just keep them unscrewed?

Absolutely no probs with this IME (from Brisbane)

Everything said above will help you more than this in the long run. But because i would have appreciated opinions based on experience when i was new, here are _my_ most accurate in no special order... SOHv2 (brietling super ocean heritage), Ploprof V2 (this one is like 95% - probably my most accurate of all), Tag calibre1, UPO, Omega speedy date. Good luck with your purchases, welcome and enjoy! Edit: Oh, how could i forget the Sinn U1 - very, very accurate

You nailed it perfectly
