Don't own one but have always wanted one, since the very early days. There used to be a bit of a snob/ macho stigma against them. I think they like amazing, and love PVD'd 113 ir 114. The white Daylight looks great as well.
I apologize for my laziness but I thought I would ask the experts which version is the best? Or is there a version coming we are waiting for?
Thank you!
And BAM! First thing on TZ when I just checked.
No B&Ps though. Get him down to under $4000 and you have a great deal, especially if you don't plan on reselling. http://forums.timezone.com/index.php?t=tree&goto=6836178&rid=76544#msg_6836178
I ended up selling my tri 024 for $3500 on TZ. The tri was starting to crumble in spots and the ass who I bought it from never told me. Thankfully he keeps using me as a reference so I get to kill some of his sales here and there.
I took a $800 hit on it in under a year.
Anyway, scour TZ abnd then check every 6 hours and you might get a deal.
The box that came with my gen U42 is beyond ridiculous. It easily weighs 5 lbs. I don't know who would sell a gen box without a watch though.

I had a gen, bought a second strap for it as well, and sold on TZ about 4 months later. It just didn't have the heft and feel I like in a watch. Straps are crazy expensive for LW.
Rep looks pretty great, I'd def buy a Spidolite if It gets made.
I don't know about that, they already have the watch done perfectly, they just need to nail the bezel. I would expect it will be near perfect right away if they pay attention to the ticks. Maybe the CB could be off but I never pay attention to the back anyway.
Edit- I didn't realize this was 47mm. You may be right.
Congrats on your watch.
A great first lesson that thankfully happened right away. Always check your screws immediately. I personally don't use loctite but I know many members do. And watch those rad screws, very hard to position and screw in without stripping and very easy to lose.
A year ago this would have been a really nice purchase, though the pin looks pretty off to me. Beyond that, it's fine. The issue is the Noob is so good that this pales. The other issue is you can't find a noob anywhere so this will have to do. The noob is so good that I would consider selling my gen 111 if I could get one.
For me, this watch is incredible in pics and in person. The little details are awesome. I just never loved it on me so I sold mine. Yet I like seeing it on others, particularly on mesh.
