  1. I discovered the same. Most probably the hack lever is out of position. Guess it is a keyless works problem where one has to bring the hack lever in place again. This is over my capabilities thats why I sent it over to Domi and have it in good hands Good luck with yours
  2. Thanks I really enjoy it You will love your YM from TC
  3. Indy you will like it! It's a quality piece and the dial kh dial is awesome First of all the vintage insert is indeed excellent and the most important part is the pearl which is definitely gen like! The only tell is the slight bend of the insert, which however looks somehow nice and it's not that bad I guess. Personally, I pulled the trigger on a good offer on the insert and I decided to do so since I already investet a lot so why not make it even better? Nevertheless, it's definitely not a necessity to change the insert if you rather want to keep it for an other watch In the pictures I posted, gen insert is already installed
  4. Unless you go with super reps (slightly modded) or mod/build them yourself, porbably yes Gens not taken into account obviously
  5. Thanks Mirage this helps a lot In my eyes better AR is more important. Nevertheless, it's a matter of taste and I certainly believe an upragde would be in favour of many
  6. You start right of withe the best stuff! Good choice
  7. Can't tell you whether this little lower amplitude is so bad but basically swis etas are used one. This means they are probably lacking the oil and/or are dirty. Can't garuantee that its true for your movement. However, if you receive the watch and it's a keeper send it to a good repfriendly watchmaker who will service it for you. Then it's definitely gonna last long
  8. Looks amazing! Phong still around?
  9. Damn I was confused sorry Thanks for your clarification. So the v1 has nicer xtal but incorrect lugs and case am I right this time?
  10. Definitely true but somehow I like it. Personal taste so alternatively get a clark's assembly or gen
  11. So hit up andrew from tt if he has the watch in stock. Otherwise search a watchmaker which probably can replace the whole oscilator hopefully an expert chimes in.
  12. Clark bezel assembly must be pretty good but startime is excellent in my eyes. I am thinking about acquiring a startime bezel assembly, but its rather expensive
  13. Probably easiest way is to contact your td and ask if its pissible to buy a balance wheel for this particular movement. With good pliers and the right screw drivers you would certainly be able to replace it. Nevertheless, not sure wether a TD can source it for you or not. If you find a repfriendly watchsmith go there and try your luck
  14. higginsd maybe you have the v1 or it is just a hype. Are you sure you have to v2 from the hbb v6 factory? Anyway, good for you mate
  15. Prices are highly dependant on demand..thus probably yes
  16. Definitely right Mike. Prices are already too high anyways. Maybe they drop a little in the near future but my guess is that they keep climbing. Who knows?
  17. Yes but I was offered a good deal some times ago, so I just pulled the trigger. So eventually if you can get hold of one, don't hesitate. But it's not first priority in my eyes either
  18. Just picked up my v6 and it is outstanding! Everything is just perfectly aligned and bezel rotates smoothly. Bracelet needs some nice treatment but it was a charm to size it since every screw was perfectly smooth to work on. The tc vintage insert is great and definitely no need for a gen one, unless one is very picky or having a spare one at home anyways. Nevertheless, I had one waiting so I thought why not Enjoy the quick shots
  19. I just acquired the new haswell MBP retina. It is on the expensive side but well worth it if you are working graphically or stuff like this..otherwise the macbook air is great alternative aswell
  20. Sorry to hear. Are we talking about a CrPo from bp factory? And from which dealer did you get your watch?
  21. The problem with the pusher is quite an easy fix but I wait for the next version, since the bad AR and the milky xtal is a deal breaker for me. But have to say the watch looks gorgeous and has a lot of potential. Just improve a little bit and it gets a super rep in my eyes
  22. That sounds like an interesting mod! So you built your gen sub yourself I guess was the last serie before they introduced the rehaut engraving. So I guess M serie was the one before they introduced the Hulk but I am definitely no expert on that. Thanks for your input
