Definitely fantasy.....unless by some small chance its a Prototype never released Closest to it is the 163... that only has 2 subdials but DW at 4 .... There are only 2 other Rads that I know with DW at 4... they are 62 and 103 Prefer your choice mate

I didnt place it straight on table as it created a resonance... so I sat it on a teatowel folded up... I ceratinly found it louder on my wrist but I think that was subconcious... if you know what I mean...

My heart goes out to all those involved.... I was just reading it was an attack on a summer camp for young adults and the guy or one of the guys was dressed as a copper...

Lovely pics mate Did G just use his own vintage CB and engrave it or is it completely to your specs...

Price wise and value for money then its a great rep..... As for percentile comparison to gen then you need to go a lot lower....

Thanks mate

LOL ! Sweet

Just to clarify... when you say printed... do you mean stickered letters or stenciled paint? Cheers

You dress remarkably well for diving.... and you took your car with you....!!

That is a great review mate... Great effort.... and clearly its very much appreciated by us all Thanks I am almost tempted myself !!! On second thoughts... where is my PAM catalogue

@LH I prefer the Summer of PAM !!!

Just to clarify.... do you mean generally or in comparison to the gen or other gen models.... I only ask as the gen is very sunken as well, compared to say the DL etc..

You forgot middle aged bald men on Viagra !!!

No the Sith are a liberal religion with a political agenda which we consider lacking in the true faith of the dark side....

Funny I bought them... they fitted fine !! And a few guys on RG have done too with no issue...

Funny I thought it was Camelot that was THE model .... Marty..... what you on about mate.... we all know that any watch that is truly a grail for you .... you sell

Great Pics Red....... and nice review Thanks for taking the time mate Congrats

The crystals were either gen or matts 1:1s or JFs, the crowns were all gen and tubes to match.. the caseback was the same each time.. Not perfect for categoric but certainly strong indication... Your right Doc I should measure the case thickness'... Having listened to them again... I found mine all beat out 'High on the Hill' so I guess it depends where the watch lives.....

It seems to be a common objective in last few years.... rather than just acheiving something its set to age and number of times etc.. There have been a few guys here in UK.... youngest, oldest, quickest, most times etc on highest world summits, poles or both etc You really have to tip your cap to all of them.... best of luck to this guy... if hardwork and determination was the only prerequisite this guy would already of acheived his goal !!

LOL But at least you dont have to worry about accuracy... All you need is a bag !!

For $10 you can always get a decent suck and for an extra $5 they will love you long time !!! Dont waste your money on a rep if all you want is for it to suck !!!

Yes mate.... I have them on my 288

Now thats different..... I cant make my mind up.... I keep looking but cant decide... I like the watch though :) Thanks for sharing mate

LOL

I was playing about today moving dials and movements into different cases and noticed something... that I hadnt picked up on before.. Without boring you with all the variations I did I found that it wasnt so much the movement that makes a loud ticking sound but rather the case that allows it to do so.... now I do mean the case not the caseback.. nor do I mean the rep movement is as quite as the Gen.. I took the latest fully serviced rep high beat 6497 with dial fitted etc and put it in a gen case, a JF case, an EL case and the newest HB and NF factory case... in all I used a Jakob closed caseback The movement in the gen case was very quite... only really noticeable to your ear The JF case was pretty much the same as the gen case.... The EL case was louder but.... The latest HB and NF cases were amazingly loud.... I dont think it could be louder... So although I always think a proper service is advisable, indeed necessary, and it does sound quieter after a service... what is really causing the much of the loud ticking sound so many guys complain about is the case itself... certainly from my own laboratory research !!! I think IMHO it highlights some of the points made in previous threads regarding gen case manufacture and rep case manufacture processes...
