I have been researching a lot on this model, and finally found out which model it is based on. I have found a white dial version, and its a Windrider Wings.
Here's a couple of shots of the gen..
And the back is the same too.. Well, almost lol
Be patient, TC will get back to you, remember, he is in-between certain specialists regarding his quest for the perfect sub right now. I have been in contact with him via email and I admire him for what lengths he is going through right now in order to get things right for us guys!
Sorry to hear this, but a suggestion that you may with to follow up, check out your local pawn shops, and show them photos of the watch, and leave a contact number that should anyone try and pawn such a watch, they can call you.
That site is owned by Tony, and he is trusted, but beware he is a little slow in communications from what I have learned. Also remember its CNY right now, so probably best to wait until the 28th before ordering.
Trusty Time (Andrew) I am dealing with at the moment, purchased a watch 6 days ago from him, and currently waiting for my QC photos.
Precious Time is also another trusted Dealer.
Oh right, I would be interested in finding out more on the process too. It's an area of watches which fascinates me, and has since I was a kid.
Is it true that in old watches this lume was/is radio active? Or is this a myth I was told many moons ago?
Great photos, and info on the Sub my friend, well done.
I would like to know this too. The only other dead giveaway is the Rolex crown etching on the glass @6. Gens don't.
