Damn a very nice review!!!! But who's Peter??? Is that Precious Time?

Hi all,

After reading some topics about the new Skyland V2 I fell in love...I just need that watch.

My question: I'm in the Netherlands so who offers the Skyland V2 in Europe? Does anyone know? I contacted PT but still no answer...

I dreamed about a good rep of this watch...... Fingers crossed...

My flightschool will begin the 17th of july...

I'm going to fly those big planes 747's , 757's 777 etc...

okay both really thnx for the info...

Hi all,

I was wondering how you can fix a crooked 3,6,9,12 marker on a IWC 3717 dial? Is it an easy fix?

YES IT WILL FIT!!! I tryed it myself...

Nice pictures RODWC I hope Chris will post some pictures so that we can comparise a clone ETA en real ETA !!!

You guys are really funny !!!

Hi All,

I was just looking on Ruby's website I look what I found ! A Breitling Heritage with ETA 2824 for 219 dollars! Damn what a price.

But is it the same as the Silix version ? And is it A REAL ETA ?????

Heej,

I'm interested to...I think the begin of July is the best option.

Please let me know..

So this is the Silix version ?? Is it a High beat or low beat version ???

Can you confirm that the watch has also the numbers lumed out of the box ?

Damn what a watch!!!! Where did you bought it ? Is that the standard double AR ? Or is that AR from K2222?

Hi all,

Is the Silix 3717 the High beat or the Low beat version??

Thnx, Jeroen

Do these fit the UPO? .. I thought the bezel dimensions were different from the gen and therfore an aftermarket insert wouldn't fit?

The bezelinsert does fit the UPO. But the gen bezel itself does not fit the UPO. An aftermarket bezelINSERT fits perfectly....

Hi all,

I have two bezel inserts. One insert is from the UPO and the other is from eBay. Which one looks more identical to the gen insert??

Hi Josh,

I really appreciated that you sent me those replacements, your service is great! But I wanted to know for which movement I paid for!!! That's why I openend this topic. I want to keep the watch because I'm to afraid, when I send the watchback to you, that it will be confiscated.

@Jeroen,

We have discussed this in depth.. I have also offered to replace your watch .. You decide to keep it.. I am not forcing anything down on you..

I also send you not 1... but 2 replacements as the earlier 2 are taken by your country customs....

Thanks

Joshua

COOOL very nice to read!! Damn that heritage!! I LOVE that watch!

Please keep us informed!!!! I really want to know what the AD will say...

Today I went to a local AD to check the bezel and case of the PO. What I saw was really surprising. The older UPO case (the one with the thicker bezel and different lughorns) is the correct one.

In my opinion the newer UPO's aren't so good as the older ones.

Thnx for the responses,

I can confirm that both are having the same UPO dial. The case with thicker bezel comes from PT (UPO). I bought this one from Scotty and he bought it last year from PT.

The case with thinner bezel comes also from PT but I bought this one myself in jan. 2008.

I will do some measurement today!

The shock protection?? Pleas explain me what to shoot with my camera...

Actually, there is NO decoration or machining on the movement below the balance where you should see the movement number and ETA hallmark... and even if there were, the damascening takes off nearly 0 material... more like burnishing the surface with a fiberglass pen... ain't even gonna hide scratches... the Geneva stripes take off marginally more, but not enough to obliterate any stamping on the rotor... you can check out Ofrei's watch kit for what a 2824-2 in this level of finish and presumed adjustment...

Hi all,

Look at these pictures. They are both UPO's but one has smaller bezel in thickness and different lug "horns" (or how do you call it?)

Which case is more accurate??? Please HELP!!

Thnx for all the reply's. I asked Joshua about the movement and this is what he answered:

Hi, This movt is being machined... It is swiss.. The swiss wordings are machine off due to the add on machining work. It is a more expensive movt. If you do not want it. See it back to me. i will send you the watch in raw gold movt. joshua

Crazy isn't it? I paid the same price as advertised on his website for the UPO ETA. About 300 dollar..

Is the quality lower then an real ETA ?
