Snow Dog

Sounds like I'm OK but I wonder what's up the the OP's fitment issue... Thanks again for building my 'flake!

JMB is working on a Tudor build for me right now, with a new cartel 5513 case. It has the POLEX marking between the lugs. JMB, if you see this can you tell us whether mine had that goofy rubber gasket between the crystal & retaining ring? That might tell us whether the new 5513 cases are no longer gen-spec or if they are more like the puretime cases...

This one?

Frozen in ice... Carry on.

$150 for a couple scotchbrite pads! What a rip off! {edit: dang, you caught it!}

I agree.

That is my understanding. DSN is out of the Swiss swan neck movements and will not be getting any more. Right now even his Asian movements are pretty sparse, from what I can tell from his emails...

This watch is advertised as a Swiss ETA movement. Can anyone tell if the movement is really Swiss? The guy selling these on iOffer is new and has 0 feedback so I am extra-skeptical.

I think that was TWP.

Anyone have this watch? http://www.trustytime88.com/index.php?main...products_id=114 ... or maybe the 177? http://www.trustytime88.com/index.php?main...roducts_id=1023 Since Flav is no longer able to do work for us, who can fix the canon pin on the above watch? What about re-lume? Puretime is incommunicado and so is DSN, so I'm wondering what my options are... THX!

Has anyone heard from Angus yet? He's supposedly been back for a while now, but still no answer on my emails. Same with DSN. I sure would like to buy some watches but apparently no one wants to sell them to me...

Thanks for the reply. I ended up getting the SMP chrono and the Asian black GMT Seamaster (the one that everyone seems to think is a great rep for the $).

Why? Because they come already about as "waterproof" as they'll get?

The current SMP Chrono is a more accurate looking rep, but the non-chrono has the better movement. True or false? Being a newbie I'm basing this off of a sticky thread that stated the Swiss 2824-2 is one of the best rep movements out there... and I know there have been complaints on the 7750. Conversely, the new chrono seems to be generally regarded as superior in overall appearance to the standard SMP (latest versions). Thoughts please.

Could you expand on how it's far better than your blue SMP? Are you saying the quality is better? Aside from the helium valve screw thing, is there anything else? Does your blue SMP not click solidly? I really like the look of this watch too but I'd like to learn more about it.

A bit? Man, I must need some better tooling!

I just bought 15. *fingers crossed*

I want it!! That is the badest watch ever! Nice work, you two!

I saw a white dial Steelfish (bought f/Joshua a couple weeks ago) last weekend. The lume looked great to me... and glowed VERY well. I almost couldn't believe it was a rep with such a nice lume.

Very nice!

Looks great! Dial does look a little too dark still but I actually like the look of this dial better than then gen. Probably would be best if it could be corrected though (either way I want one!). And yeah, ass-side pics would be good!

Newbie here. How would one go about modding the CG? That is the only thing holding me back from a new Arktos. It's terrible! I can't imagine you can buy a (better) rep CG for the Arktos... so how would one mod it? BTW, thanks for the great comparison review!

It's PVD. I know the guy who owns the watch. I find out who did it... it wasn't cheap. It's a gen, BTW....
