Wow

Great collection!

Love the shark strap. Was it an easy fit with the rep conversion kit?

It came on a black hornback sort of strap. So it was a straight swap.

I don't understand: is it possible to relume the silver themes ?

the darker lume is grey not black, isn'it ?

Please let me Know, I love silver themes but now is out of stock

The Silver Themes rep has no lume at all. I'm not sure the gen has..?

What was Fransico's turn around time on the watches? I have two AP's waiting for some mod/service treatment and possibly a relume too.

Hmm. This job took about 3-4 weeks - much delayed by a set of hands and some screws that I needed to source from Andrew. - But I would imagine a couple of weeks if nothing goes wrong and depending on the amount of work needed doing.

In the furnace and straight into liquid nitrogen?

These 3 were all on holiday at Uncle Francisco's and came back better than ever.

Some pics. Enjoy

Excellent lume

And last my brilliant Silver Themes - (Panda dial)

AP BANDS genuine shark skin strap, serviced sex@12 corrected by Francisco.

Haven't yet had the time to fix the bezel screws. The maker put some kind of black sealer making them impossible to remove from the bezel

And the lume

Silly factories. I've just put mine in the post returning it to Andrew.

I'm sure looking forward to see how they'll fix it.

I still think you others should return the watches to the various dealers - this way putting some light on the issue and forcing the factory to change the process

All of the dealers write WATER RESISTANT in their description

Great.

Much better than this

Safari

Up early and must wear my new grale. Francisco has outdone himself on this one

Hard to catch in photos:

Brilliant.

Mine seems to be starting to delaminate having NEVER been worn due to doa strap

So the good news is you don't have to get wet to make it go wrong - just the moist in the air will kill it

RETURNING THE THING TO THE DEALER ASAP

Even the factories might spot a failure if they get hundreds of watches returned in a few weeks

Hi guys,

Not sure which one should I get? Is Asian 7750 reliable on this ones?

No

This is unacceptable.

I think EVERY single one that fails should be returned to the various dealers for repair/exchange!

The watch is advertised as WATER-RESISTANT with every dealer I know and this should guarantee that our watches will at least withstand rain.

If this happens to mine it will be returned immediately for exchange.

Outrageous I say

Mesh looks brilliant

About the Ploprof clasp construction - When you do size it down the inner part of the deploymant will push the slide release button and make the strap go loose.

Amazingly poor construction. I can't imagine the gen is constructed that way?

Great and presumably a lot more comfortable than the wrist chewing rep clasp on the Ploprof V1.

And cows are water-resistant from factory

Jeez!! I cannot believe what I'm seeing in those last pics! Got me worried about mine now, although everything seems fine so far...

I had a look on the other side and it's just fine. Soft rubber like and all. So I guess it's just in the moulding of this one that something went horribly wrong.

But anyway check it - and you could replace those flimsy spring bars while there.

I'm kind of paranoid about bracelets/straps having lost a gen navitimer on pilot bracelet in a disco once...

Hey. Got mine today. Swiss version from Trusty

However the strap broke even before I got i resized

It's hard and very brittle where the spring bars go through.

Don't go sailing with yours before you are sure it's not comming apart!!

And the movement:

As usual the seals are as dry as a nun's gusset

although i'm not sure i can pull this one off ...

Oh yes you can

I believe the gen's hour hand can be set independently of the minute hand.

+1

This review made me order one too.

congrats - wear it well

Ordered a Swiss version today.

God knows when the ult will be on sale...
