I think you will find the V3 is better than the gen.. Gen V3

Try Londongeorge mate

Nose

They came from TB as I recall...he is doing a new run on with the Pride of Argentina

Skittle

Its a better pearl for sure... just a shame they cant centre it... under marker has better line too... but rehaut needs moving too

Its blokes like you that cause car crashes !! Go here mate http://www.jochenbenzinger.de/index.php?article_id=44&p=2&clang=1

Well that explains it... He does some fantastic work especially his engraving

Mate thats lovely.... I would love to see it moving... Any more info?

Petty

I will name that tune in 1 !!

Dont trust that bloke mate.. I hear he has shares in Puretime !!

Whisky

That dial looks cocked to left mate..

Sultry

Bacardi

I think the fact George W voted for him says it all.....

Its a very good rep mate... reliability is very good by rep standards.. But as with all reps its a hit and miss..... more hit than miss with these.. Depending where you are if you do get a problem you can sort out any problems pretty cheaply using one of the trusted modders and service guys on here or other forums

You will need to source the swiss movements from the myriad of places that sell them... Ofrei, bay, T, etc etc but if you want a rep then that will need more sourcing for correct plates etc Only 26 (A or B ) dial will be DSN but its crap CB needs to come from Jakob he does custom CBs or find one of ELs nice and heavy CB on the B... that way you can try for a transitional But you will struggl with a decent rep dial mate

Thank you LK for those very kind words mate.... now how much cash do I need to send you to keep it up !!??

I have known F since I joined here.... and have dealt with him in many ways... we have become friends and I have experienced his character in many situations, which i wont go into here. I have found him to be one of the nicest guys and most trusted guys on this forum.... when i was seriously ill before I really knew him he and few other guys went out of their way to arrange for me to recieve a hamper of fruit... no bear in mind i am in the UK and they were in US... I dont really know you Mike but I have always found you to be a good guy here and have enjoyed some of your posts. I am sure knowing F like I do and his character.. he is not the sort of guy to create a problem intentionally or try to usurp anyones thread with TC intentionally... I am sure knowing you two guys that this is one of those situations that can happen between the best of us.... and misunderstanding and the sense of being right can spiral into something thats beyond where it was originally intended to go... that is especially more likely because of the way we type or comments or our use of the language.... what you are saying in your head as you type doesnt always have that meaning to others that read it... in reading anything we are always missing the most important part of communication... expression, tone and gesture.. once thats is first misunderstood then trhe only place it can go is down... I am sure if you guys sat down over a beer and started talking about those gens and reps you both own and builds that have been put together you will find each other to be both interesting and good guys to know... I truly hope no one here inflates this thread anymore than it has been.. and as Mike has said..he has said his bit and vented ....and thats an end to it... lets get back to what we are all here for ..

Hello mate... Welcome to the 'Dark Side' I hope you enjoy it and stay around

Clockwork

Dont think thin mate that Timeband was nearly 7mm thick and it was a contortunist..... Put thin out of your mind !! It dont need to be and the thicker the better certainly for a PAM and most others.. I have a custom Hublot strap that is buttery soft too...just depends what you plan to use it for mate Go to PAM section and use search tool mate or Strap section (not the sales section the actual strap section under photography)

You always know how to make me drool !!..... I am off to Vanni's site
