ALL screws for the JPM. Bezel/nut/caseback and case/lug/strap. All in 316L stainless steel. The hex on the bezel is reduced slighly in size so it fits in a correct metric hex size. The shoulder is also lowered to match gen better.

Well, I love mine with the white dial but I got sick of the stupid screws that look like [censored]. So I decided to commission new ones. Should be ready in a month, stay tuned.

Sounds like there's some dust in the transfer gears, you'll need to remove everything and service the movement.

15min exactly? Is the chronograph engaged/ running? Seems odd...

Try winding the watch up and see whether it is holding the PR and runs beyond 15min.

Waiting. waiting!

The edge is polished to give the buckle a 2-tone finish. The top surface is sand blasted. Titanium can be high polished easily, it scratches up easily as well as the surface is soft. I am not sure what you mean by an applied material to mimic titanium. I suppose you are talking about a coating. That could be possible but it's easy to tell as titanium is much lighter than steel. You can actually also polish the understide/ inner side and rear edge, but it's alot more work.

I wouldn't print that if I were you...... I posted that up and the numbers are misaligned.

Well, only thing that this thread confirms is A) David WONG is asian, MD2020 is not, and C) the human race is fawked.... Now, where can I find Daytona parts!!!???

Seems like the rep scene is a bad alibaba movie.....

So.... now that DW is gone off the face of the earth, where else can we get parts to build Paul Newman daytonas?

I think your answer is: Why bother replacing a billet when you can just gold plate.... They can't find CuSn8 in China in the right thickness and importing material into china is a hassle. Note that Adrian's 'bronze' cases are red brass, not actual Bronze.

I'm not sure why there are so many people repeating this over and over. I want to state once and for all, there is AR coating on the gen glass. I know this because customers bring in their gen watches to get the AR removed after it is scratched...... can't really scratch an AR coating if it isn't there no? The coating is very very thin though which is why many people who do gen vs rep comparisons think that there isn't any on there.

Gen has AR on both sides, just that it is a very very thin coating. It can be scratched and hence buffed off. Hence it does look like there isn't any, but that is what gives it that quality.
