Welcome mate! Enjoy ur journey here.... It's only just begun

How much was the gen dial?

They do have closer ties.. But they can still get watches from either factories and its identical stuff. Its a factory, it makes identical things for a start.

New releases are a completely different thing although they Still can get it from each other.

What is ur total build cost forecasted all in?

All dealers carry the same watch they take from various factories.

Noob n H fact are just 2 more popular factories that make gd quality reps.

No dealer favour any particular brand.

Every dealer have their pros n cons, everyone has a gd and bad story to tell about each, luck of the draw.

Advise : stick to a dealer u r comfortable with. Dun be too affected by couple of bad buyer reviews, pple dun bother writing good ones cos they have come to expect AD svc from TDs

Then we shall just have to wait for ur bills to motivate u

Ebay... Or cousins, ofreis

Can't PM ya...

But u know who to look for if ur letting the 3717 go

Welcome mate! Always gd to be back ain't it? Catch up on all the latest releases and ur be right back on track to emptying ur bank

I'll take em IWCs anyday

Hi Tim.. Spend more time reading esp the sites on trusted dealers and you will be rewarded

I'm thinking about getting one of these. I keep vacillating between thinking it is awesome looking and likely to appeal to my fondness for all things made out of carbon, and on other occasions thinking that the variegated finish of the case looks like a cheap Swatch from the 80's.

Wtf is vacillating? Is it like oscillating with saliva or something?

And Variegated? Is that like irrigation lines filled with vinegar?

Hate pulling out the Webster to read a post.

Now it's wavy wood, so technically yah, it's an improvement from wood.

It's like if wood was 0%, v2 looks like a 25% improvement? Still fail in my books. Seeing how a v3 has been forecasted in couple of months time, no point committing imho

I have never seen such a wide variety.. Gawd, how much did u spend? $3k?

Advice is free, has worked for me, but risk is urs best of luck.

It is true. Hands need to be broached for asian fit. Also, chrono gen hand cannot be used.

Remove all straps, ship separate from heads. Pull all crowns. State parts for repairs

Go for 57th

Not to crap on your parade. But GEN dials only fit GEN movements. The date windows have different spacing.

Dun worry u didn't.. I had to know that before splashing the cash on this gen set

Yes siree, gen dial n tachy.

The ss bezel does bring about a gd contrast btw the dial and leather strap.. Gd points

Kindof stuck at crossroads here and need more opinions and comments etc.

Which would you choose and why?

The Volcano

Or The Lava

If you had this:

My thoughts from the head are to go for the volcano. More common cos not limited edition, still striking on a nice hornback with orange stiches or even on a bracelet. Also no worries about getting scratches on the PVD.

My heart however goes to the Lava... Who can resist a black orange contrast? It just looks like they belong together... But the risk of being called out is always there since its 99pcs... Why waste a gen dial and tachy on it?

Decisions decision... Any comments appreciated.

Bought it off a member in RWG but its from HKTan

Sharing a strap i just got for my slate grey V4 from HK Tan.
