Just a FYI....looking at the MBK version, dot markers are missing from 11-1 o'clock too (black version) and it suffers from the crown being deep in the case from what i can tell via pics. 3:00 dot marker is missing which correct according to gen. -bosk

OK here is the Josh version: Here is the Gen: Notice that Josh's have the bi-level edge on the date window.....the MBW do NOT have this bi-leveling from what I can tell by the pics. Still.... it seems like Josh's version opens up from the front too since I see no way of removing the caseback. Josh version has sec hand, extra dot marker at 3:00 (?), and thick markers...still not bad. Looking forward to a review of this one. -bosk

Looks like the MBW Patek jumbo is on Josh site! Can't wait to see the price on this one. -bosk

My first good laugh this week!....at least he's seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. -bosk

Hello Chief, If there is still room, I'd like to have 4 done. thanks bosk

Dial and hands make a huge difference due to lume. Dial is 150 and hands around 50. A gen crystal should also fit and it comes with correct AR for another 150. -bosk

Does the quartz bubble have a sweeping second hand? I've seen it advertised as such and am aware of some quartz watches with a sweeping hand (Beta 21, Accutron, etc.) TIA Bosk

Very nice watches! The black movement skeleton bubble is an awesome piece and one of the gens I'd consider getting. None of the bubble reps compare to their gen counterparts due to the crystal -bosk

The 21J will not accept gen hands and u won't be able to slap on a gen dial since the feet positions are different. U could try King or silix or another dealer for slight better pricing. -bosk

that dial says 16.3 mm? typo? I've always wanted to make a tudor watch too but most dials are 26 mm....I thought rep cases always needed larger dials....like 28-29 mm. So a vintage rolex case will fit 26 mm dials? TIA bosk

It's suppose to be a asian high-beat 7750. The have always been quartz versions of the AP chronos but the manufactures just started rolling out the automatics this year, IMO

interestingly, Paul has a new rep....30th ANNIVERSARY CITY OF SAIL....its not a city of sails but it is close to the AP RO model 25960 (Chronograph): Here is the gen: Secs at 6 on the gen. Here is what is offered by Paul: So the manufactures have added a cyclops and changed the hands significantly I can live with the secs at 9:00 and removing the cyclops myself....but finding the correct hands that would fit seems too much trouble....of course they are available on the offshore models. Oh well.....but with this model....it seems the real city of sails would be close behind....maybe another few months? Opinions? -bosk

Picked up my AP EOD today from the post office. Kool_watch came thru. Although not of the highest quality, I really like the look of the nylon strap. Chronos are working perfect and time is very accurate on this slow beat asian 7750 However there is a silver dot where the black was scratched off but that's minor....a sharpie should fix it. I'll post pics later in the week The yellow #'s do have light lume on them and the hands are a bit better.....-re-luming would be difficult since the hands are painted yellow.....oh well.......I can live with that. -bosk

This is the same technique used by the IWC skeletons so you could always buy one of those movements to get the o-ring Super nice watch Chris. How about attempting to blue flame all the SS parts and then sticking the blue hands back on Funny how of all my reps, I get the most complements from my skeleton pam. -bosk

Davidsen sells capped hands to fix the problem.

super nice....I'm tempted to do one with a silver skeleton movement. Tourby's case is especially nice. Does it come with super AR? -bosk

yup, river has them for a good price and u can get the SS bracelet too for a bit more. -rei

Ditto...I went for the st exuprey as well....the brown dial is awesome and I already have several black faced chronos. -bosk

I got mine from River and ordered the bracelet and leather. The leather looks nice in the pics but feels crappy. It looks awesome with the bracelet! The dial particularly stands out. -bosk

That's a super price on an auto SMP! Which AD did u go to and where is it located? -Rei

Seems Josh has just released the high beat version of the 3717 for the same price.. ~268.

Are those silver/SS screws on the AP Jumbo? If so then mother of god, I have to get one!

That SMP is nice! The He valve seems to be in the correct position too (from OLD FACTORY). Is the He valve position a result for your mod or was it always off the 10 marker abit? -bosk

Yes, it is quartz dial....it does look real tho.
