  1. Any input on these Kuvarsit V3 dials, from the local experts?
  2. Nice. And you don't have to remove your rings when you wash it

    3714-82

    Who is machining the case to fit the movement?
  4. So, just to be clear: The pictures in post #8 above are of a genuine 360, which is owned by your dealer. The factory will attempt to replicate this, and will have samples ready in about a month. Correct?
  5. True...Just means that you'd never want to activate the chrono on a Daytona!
  6. Build a movement out of a solid block of metal. I've found it to be humbling
  7. To borrow another picture from Francisco, here is the complete transfer train, from 9 to 6, on the Portu. The first wheel is not visible, because it is under the plate, and the last wheel was missing from the first photo, but is show below.
  8. Sure Mike, The transfer gears of the Daytona and Portu movemements are actually quite different. I'll use a couple of borrowed pictures to illustrate. Here are the gears of the Daytona (thin top plate has been removed, to reveal the transfer gears sitting on the bottom plate). And here is the same view on the Portu movement. As you can see, there are quite a few less gears on the Portu, which equates to less drag on the movement.
  9. Note that this was a tear-down of the Daytona movement, which has a different configuration from the Portu movement.
  10. Man, that's a nice dial! There's really no comparison with DSN, is there?
  11. What is actually required to sell on this board? Does the member need to have his/her own section? It seems that there are several "unofficial" vendors who do regular business, while there are other cases of people being banned for self-promotion.
  12. Both look pretty gen. Pick whichever metal you like.
  13. Just lift up on the bezel on that side, so it matches the crystal. Problem solved!
  14. Neither look too dark to me: Anyway, it's lighter than Pre-A PVD (and Davidsen's 360 is too dark). Paneristi picture of 360 DLC vs. 009 PVD
  15. Too bad...Since the gen 360 is much lighter!
  16. You can buy them from T. Email him at t_crowns@yahoo.de
  17. There really isn't a super rep of this model, because of the unusual material combination of the gen. The best that I've seen was on another board, where avitt applied a matte finish to the solid ceramic rep. Don't know how that was done, but it looked very good.
  18. Not sure that Gretzky's big bucks endorsement really indicates involvement in our hobby. But he's an asset to any team, none the less.
  19. If you're concerned about accuracy, go for the stainless models. The problem with the rep PVD models is that they are brushed, and the genuine carbon models are matte.
  20. I would like to have a PAM coated. Is The Zigmeister still offering this service, and where can Avitt be found?
  21. If the bezel isn't held by screws, then it is simply press fit. It can be lifted with a case knife. Once the bezel is off, the dial and movement can be removed from the front. To remove the inner tachy ring, you'll need to press out the crystal. Replacing the crystal without damaging the ring can be difficult, so be careful.
  22. The texture and color of the lume on that dial are phenomenal! Probably the most authentic looking lume job I've ever seen.
  23. Good idea, but I don't think that the gen is brushed. All of the gen pictures that I've seen, including those I've shown above, show a glossier area around the numbers, with a matte finish everywhere else. (The insert area of the PVD and SS reps appears to be brushed.)
  24. There is this one, on eBay. But I haven't seen a review regarding fit or quality.
  25. That's too bad. It means that it will be next to impossible to PVD or DLC coat this watch, and make it look like the gen (which has a different color and texture in the area of the bezel markers, simulating an insert). It also means that it will be more difficult to align the pointer at 12. Here's another picture of a gen (from eBay):
