I like what you did with the hands, eliminating the red highlights.

Congratulations A. You have solved a major problem for people doing AP Frankens or rep upgrades.

If Legend is doing what I think he is doing in this modification package, then it is well worth the $200. The operations involved here are not something you really want to do yourself. Plus legend is a gentleman and all-round nice guy to work with.

The China movement factory that makes sec@12 movements installed a gem within the central transmission gear (I think it is called "C" here) that goes around the canon pinion, but they did not install a jewel under the final sec@12 gear for some reason. The finish of the parts is still very rough, about the same quality as what Francisco shows in his photos. The alignment of the first two gears in the seconds conversion still varies quite a lot from unit to unit. The gear chatter across the 5 gears accounts for the jerky seconds output on most AP reps. There are also significant errors in hole positioning on the third plate underneath, and the whole gear train blocks easy access to keyless works, if that should need work, which it most likely will at some point.

The TT/PC carbon diver looks very impressive. Hope everybody gets theirs soon.

Neither. The V2 has a Ti case and a very well-done dial, but no lume.

Looks like a noob, but need a side shot of the crown to tell for sure.
