dial texture is not reflective enough, dial print too anemic, font kerning is off, luminous too lumpy and matte, should be semigloss and much finer texture. tachy ring print is a bit off, handstack has minor nits, e.g. lume again a bit grainy, the black paint is flimsy and not correct texture, the chrono hand is rough. case pushers too low on the profile of the case, they cut into the bottom edge of the pillow because the movement is a thicker asian 7750 clone as oppsed the the genuine 7753 based calibre.

overall though, the cosmetics, the crystal, case & bezel geometry and superlume do their job and if you're looking at it on someone's wrist you'll be hard pressed to call these out.

This exactly sums up why the first time I saw a GEN 288 in person it looked considerably different from the rep! First thing I noticed from about 5 feet away was the sharpness and gloss of the dial/lume..

Yes, Banksy is a very hot commodity right now. That 'graffiti' if removed and sold would easily go for upwards of 50K at least. He's very talented and paints commentary on social and political issues for the most part.

He's got several art compilations out that showcase his work. There's also a documentary on him that won some kind of film award.

well, I was on the hunt for one too, I lucked out I managed to find ONE still for sale. Apparently it was his last one, and it cost me serious $$ but I got a croc strap, lizard strap, solid railmaster caseback, and steel bracelet thrown in. Point being, there may be the odd dealer out there who's got one so don't give up!

Looks great!

Am I correct that the new style 328L bracelet will not fit the 005 ?

There's a post over on RG in the puretime forum where Angus is saying he just talked to the Noob factory and the V2 is close to being released / proto pics. I think he's trying to get more info now. This is great news... if its true

Hi Ilan, I've got that one that just came in this week from Andrew. Ordered it along with 4 other watches. Be glad to do a catch and release on it since I already have 3 others I'm happy with. It is unworn, brand new. PM me if you want it. I'm in the USA. Can forward you the QC pics. Overseas shipping no prob. Let me know.

Regards,

PatrickM

RH - speaking of the strap, is that a 26mm you squeezed on there or a 24..? Looks very neat!
