ok, thanks for your statement - we will have info on this, soon

Only if you can locate a 3-hand movement with running seconds at 6 (instead of the center) that fits into the cutout for the hour totalizer (lower subdial) in your dial. People have been searching for such a movement since I have been here, but I am not aware that anyone has yet found 1.

what, if we just use a 2 hand sec@6 movement and glue or kill the subdial hands, and also the center second hand? would this be possible?

like the F.A.Jones movt. - of course, this is too big for the daytona case. would a manual wind movt instead an automatic be a solution? you would only see the running sec@6?

Gen datewheel? How, used as an overlay?

Hi sneed12,

this question should be adressed to Mickey himself - I bought the whole package

Dear members,

two weeks ago I received my holy grail watch. Mickey Padge sold me his beloved a well treasured BK Yachtmaster. needless to say, that the communication and transaction were smooth, the watch arrived in best condition after 4 days (!!!) inside EU.

Although it was worn, I could not detect any signs of wear, since Mickey perfectly refurbished and polished the YM. It was originally the WM9, with all BK mods performed and a gen date disc installed. The watch is waterproof to 5 atm, but it will only see water when I clean her....

No pictorial, no great writeup, as promised just some pics how a pre-owned watch could look like if the owner takes some care.

Thanks again to Mickey , and to you guys for looking!

How´s the accuracy compared to the gen?

Thinking of getting one for my wife

Yes, this would be also interesting for me. There are different models ind diff. price ranges, but couldn't find out the differences between them. Maybe the bracelet (screws or pins) - or even chinese marketing.... ?

Every advice is much appreciated!

Cheers , J

In my case it took exactly 3 days from UK to Austria. One watch came from PTSwiss, one from Mickey Padge.

Last year it took 3 weeks from UK to me, because the forwarder was also on vacation in CNY. So, no worries I would say.

Josh got a lot of good reputation here and is a recommended dealer - Josh hat einen sehr guten Ruf hier, und ist ein vertrauenswürdiger Händler.

For the next 14 days nothing will happen during Chinese new year- für die nächsten 14 Tage ist Ruhe in der Kiste, da geht mal gar nichts.

Stay cool - bleib locker

Welcome to RWG,

If you look for a Daytona, here you go!

Cheers, J

Ah, the box....now I see. Thought the same, but guessed that it could also be the light on the dial comes from a different angle.

Thx a lot, J

Gents,

There is a YM for sale on Chrono24.com. Since the price is incredible cheap for this watch, could the experts please chime in and tell if it's rep or gen? I am interested in the Yachtmaster, and if it'sthe real deal, it's just a steal.

Thank you!

The dial looks a little strange in the last two pics

Sorry concepta - didn't want to hijack your thread!

Cheers, J

If you ever think of selling this beauty, drop me a PM

3717 or 3714?

Topic descr. says 3714

Cheers, J

Nice watch, nice story! Always admired the Nautilus a bit more than the Aquanaut, but must honestly say that this one is really a beauty.

Wear it well!

Cheers, J

Thanks for the kind words. Purchased it damaged from a friend, and invested a substantial amount to rebuild it. Not worth the money, but a funny game and finally I am in love with the result

Cheers, J

Gents,

this is my newest purchase, came directly from refurbishment from probably the best watchmaker in Austria. Looks like new and in best condition,

Enjoy.

Best, J

I ordered two watches from PTSWISS in UK in September, and am still waiting, waiting, waiting.... Not caused by EMS btw

With a bad dial....

.... Or a decent 3714...:-)

I can sell you mine. White dial, rose gold numerals, hirsch strap, AR coating...

PM me if interested

PS: worn 3 times, mint condition, but doesn't work

I ordered mine in early september from PT Swiss for a Friend's birthday in October. In November it arrived totally scratched with a broken strap. Returned it to PT in November. after a long wait he replied that I will receive replacements. Now, on Dec 17th I got his out of office reply, and he will be back in January.....

Is this the way to satisfy the customers?

Wondering, if the inner bezel is turning like the gen?

We'll see. I took a look at the real deal 3 weeks ago, and from what I can see from the pics, it looks very nice.

B/R, J
