Yes, know that, but I think is barely visible with the naked eye. Yours turns out really good I think. Good job.[emoji106] Gesendet von meinem Mi MIX 2S mit Tapatalk
Next step is to archive the matte texture on the dial like Gen. Gen Will try this on the ARF Dial by deinstalling the markers and put some matte varnish on the dial, like I did on some vintage Dials.
Rolex did it on some cases for an O-Ring to archive water resistants. Later the groove was gone on newer cases and they never installed the gasket. That's what I read somewhere in the past. Gesendet von meinem Mi MIX 2S mit Tapatalk
Installed a Gen Crown today. I measured the Rep Crown and it is Gen Spec. Same Size and Diameter. The stem must be cut a bit to screw fully in. Gesendet von meinem Mi MIX 2S mit Tapatalk
So next steps to improve the ARF V2 is Gen Crown and Tube. Clicksprings are done. Gen Hyrtelring for the bezel. Maybe reshaping the CG's. Keep you updated.[emoji106] Gesendet von meinem Mi MIX 2S mit Tapatalk
Also the HE- Valve looks not really as Gen. The Gap between case and crown looks on the Gen similar to the rep. Never seen this before on the Gen. Overall it's a damn nice Rep I think. So will do some more work on mine ARF V2. Will update when the missing parts arrived. Still waiting for watchers Noob V2 to see how it looks after his improvements. Btw the Insert looks better on the ARF in my opinion. Maybe mixing Parts will do the trick.[emoji6] Gesendet von meinem Mi MIX 2S mit Tapatalk
Hello Gang, Anybody knows the reference numbers for The newer Clicksprings, and also the Hyrtelring that hold the the Bezel on the SD43? Maybe someone has a Parts Catalog? Gesendet von meinem Mi MIX 2S mit Tapatalk
Great ones from the old days. After the reps get better over the years, we can see the old stuff is something special and can't be beaten this days. Wonderful pieces, I like a lot!!!
There are a lot of Microbrands that came up on Kickstarter this days. Most of them claim Swiss Made, but when you look at it, it's clearly Chinese Stuff. People with no knowledge about watches jump on the train and think they have have a unique timepiece.
Really weird.🤢
