Some asked for close up movement shots. Here they are. It looks like every other ETA I've ever seen. PLEASE NOTE THE MOVEMENT IS SILVER IN COLOR NOT GOLD. Its the lighting. I must say the wording is very crisp. Not a bleed anywhere.

Hack R. No problem but it won't be until later tonight. At work today.

Another custom Marina. Stitched with imported Irish linen thread.

Yeah. They still haven't gotten the tail on the "S" correct yet either.

Yes Sir.

The tube and crown are nicely done. Crown screws in smoothly to the base without any hang ups. It sits flush with the case without any contact with the bezel unlike my Silix version. Crown is nicely machined and the B is crisp. The clasp locks positive without any play in the locking tab. It has a very positive snap upon closure. The engraving is done just as well as everywhere else. I took the watch into water with out any issues. Tested to 5ATM

It is shallow but...it is also super crisp and perfectly engraved. Other models including my old fish suffered from this greatly. Given the choice of deeper flawed numbers or this one I would take this in a heartbeat as it appears more gen like. Most who do not study as we do would assume its gen because of the perfected number engraving. Even a noob would not expect a Gen to have botched bezel numbers.

I don't know if he is here but he's a trusted dealer on RWI named Suppermirrors. Look in that section and PM him.

They are out now. I think in all color versions. I got mine for about $360.

You are correct. Very faint bluish purple similar to gen. Not overpowering at all. When looked at straight on there is no evidence of bluish coloring only at angles.

Ok...here are a few pics of the SOSF I got from Sead. Swiss ETA although I have not pulled the back of to confirm yet. I will take more pics later but here are a few as well as a short video to get us started. Also a few pics with my older "Swiss ETA SOSF I got last year from Silix. Enjoy

What's regular mean. The run of the mill standard strap? I tend to go my on way design wise. I'm a little less refined as some but I think that's what makes my straps stand put.

Yeah this just changes things up a little. I don't always slant the tips.
