Lovely strap that would look lovely on a PVD PAM too Great contrast, like that stitching and edging Congrats mate

I am really starting to get into those dials....I love the contrasts from differing light sources/angles etc. Very nice

Just a thought but is that a T48 crown with a standard rep stem?

2 choices you get from Royal mail Is Airsure and signed for both have tracking numbers but the signed for as it says means the recipient signs for it only thing is you cant track it till its signed for. Either way assuming its just a watch for weight puroposes and not a box as well then it wont cost more than

Very nice collection, you have done some nice work mate. Thanks for sharing mate

Great sport, I love that organ music makes it all worth while!

Not having a go mate but for a few extra euros rather than resending CG etc you could of got it done mate

Not himself but he has a man that does. If you look at this thread you will see some examples Having a couple done myself at moment

But what watch would you suggest if its 'Muff Diving' he is in to!!??!! I am interested myself!! Welcome Steve have fun and enjoy mate

As always J does a great job But mate while he had it why didnt you get that CG pin sorted out? Shame to do all that work and not do that.

NoobyPanFan has a gen 233 case CG and Crystal for sale on RG you should ask him....

104 seems to be the one suggested a lot. Or the ultimates say 88 etc

Gorgeous, thanks mate Look forward to Part 2

Just had a look around, most of those reps are bloody awful!!! To honest my suspicious nature thinks this is a back door punt, apologies if I am wrong

Didnt someone post recently about sourcing better aftermarket crystals and Cyclops seperately?

Nice job mate certainly a massive improvement on the dark blue we get on the OTB rep. As you say the CG is the big bug, I did see a correct rep CG on an homage watch without Chrono buttons I tried to get the guy to tell me where he got it but he wouldnt reply!!! Even had correct REG TM as well as shape. Congats mate

+1 Gen PVD coatings do vary given that OP used different suppliers at times. Though thats another discussion. IMO the main point here is they are both after market coatings of a different quality. With that rep one it would look better if you gave it some CC. The other is much closer to some gen models.

Firstly the main reason you see the reference to Top loading is it implies its an Eddie Lee case, though usually this statement starts with EL Top loading.. EL cases are more sought after due to them being more gen like than the cartel/DSN etc versions . As I am aware EL produced 5 versions of the case all with different errors. However the cartel did at one time sell top loading cases. Regardless of the differences in ELs cases and the old cartel case the top loader removal point can be clearly seen and adds to its genlikeness. The biggest issue with a top loader is the potential for exploding crystals due to incorrect fitting, DIY removal which can be affected by changes in temperature, excessive pressure on single points of the crystal as it sits in the bezel. I guess this is why the cartel changed to fixed bezels. Eitherway the movements can be removed back and front in nearly all cases. So an EL case, all of which are top loading, is the best rep case available although with varying errors. Not because so much that its top loading but it is a better case as well with the top loading removal point being seen. The standard rep cases including DSNs have the wrong shape and incorrect bezel not just the top loading bit but angle and thickness. Hope that makes sense

Are we still talking about the WO or are you reminiscing about something else!!

Thanks mate for sharing Very interesting
