If you look at Angus's pic of the rep HBB broken down, it is clear this is no an "ordinary" rep.
that said, i am also not willing to pay $600 for a rep wit the asian 7750 in it. I think $300-$400 for the SS HBB and maybe up too $450 for the ceramic version would seem like a more "reasonable" price.
111H has a "sandwich" dial (recesed hour markers), the 111G has "sausage dial" (raised hour markers) the bridge decoration on the 111G and 111H is also different, though the movement is the same...the 111H also has a brushed CG where the 111G is polished.
Yeah, I am thinking of doing my 196 aswell, the gen 196 has single sided AR, right? also, send me a PM with price and Paypal and I think I will help you out with one of those cyclopses...
