I have a TC LV(now a shark) and a BK WM9 LV with no such issues.

Agreed. Looks gen.

I think every 1675 el cornino I have ever seen, gen included has always had the small pointed GMT hand.

Happy New Year from a balmy 70degree Florida. You can keep the cold and snow boys, it's all yours!

Thanks for the pictures. Interesting to see it next to your gen. Just acquired a gen blue bezel with faded silver font. Looking to put it in my TC lv.

Considering that Ian Fleming somewhat based the character on himself it should come as no surprise. He died at age 56 having had a heart attack at 53. He was know to drink a bottle of gin and smoke 70 cigarettes a day! He did produce a great spy character though.

Let's see some more photos!

Go gen if possible.....they are out there at reasonable prices. TC is next best.

I think he means if you put marks on the case due to wear and eventually it stops working, then there will be a better version available by then. Then just buy another one. Just buy it and enjoy it!

Looks really good. Let's see some more pictures.

I rest my case!

Too fussy. Never have liked it. Rarely see a gen in person so that must say something.

Stunning dial.....can it get any better?

Looks awesome. The "2" may be a tad off, but it could be the angle. Enjoy.

It will make a great investment either way and that was likely a motivating factor. It is a rare watch.....just not his usual good taste.

Canal street quality. This watch is all wrong. Likely a 21j movement too, who knows. The box could be worth more! I guess the moral is always buy from a TD.

It is gen, but in poor condition. It would bother me looking at it all the time on my LV, just my 2 cents!

Looks very clean, bonesey did a great job. Looking forward to seeing a few wrist shots when you get it.

Stunning...........both of them!

Looks great, not a big fan of nato straps so looking forward to seeing it on the bracelet. Nice photos too!

Looks great......way better than I thought it would.

Nice job. Great clear instructions!

Nice posting. I have had a couple of these in the past and they are a nice solid watch. I do remember that the bezel looked more gen like though. I do not think they had the concentric circle look to the black rubber surface. It looks stunning on a gen bracelet, but not eay to find at a reasonable price. Enjoy

My long gone Rolex-Addict el cornino.

I see what you mean about the pearl. Look forward to seeing some pictures and hearing your review.
