mule play

A gen dial could be fitted IF, and this is a massive IF, you could source a gen 15450 dial.  I estimate this to be near impossible given the youth of this model.  

just saw that this evening....very interesting.

Excellent. I look forward to the photos and write up. 

I saw it...and passed. For $200 I know I will be disappointed in some detail or another and then dump it in the forum for $150....if I find a buyer. My opinion is that unless your are buying the ROO's or the 15400's in the $300-$500 range you will disappointed. Aside, can you pull off wearing $45k watch in your circles?

I definitely want one, but the inventory I see appears to be fantasy. The JF has a steel model with a grey dial...total fantasy. While the rose gold models look to be models of gen offerings.

Anyone see a JF white dial with the correct 3 lume/marker in place?

Anyone own a 15450 and care to share thoughts on quality?

Wow...o....Wow!

Will you be offering this fine new date wheel in combination with the Tissot Powermatic 21,600 swap on AP ROO divers?

Simply, that would be the ultimate build. Low beat with spot on date wheel!

Count me in for at least one unit!

And shipped back this morning....

Is that a hair in the first photo>?

Look over the movement to see if you can locate where that washer ring has came from.

No. That is the balance spring outside of the balance. Somehow it was mangled by the rotor and is severely bent out of shape...so much that the balance wheel will not gyrate. I cannot find a location of the washer ring. It was just sitting in the caseback when I opened it. I did look but to no avail.

Update. I removed the caseback to see if anything looked off and perhaps fixable.

Here is what I found.

The balance spring was mangled and a washer fell out somewhere. See photos.

It is going back to Andrew for replacement.

The second just stopped. Crown, hands and date are all smooth. Rotor spins quietly as well. No amount of winding and case tapping revive it.

What are my options to repair or swap out the movement?

This is a v6s hulk.

Sadly, my LV Hulk has appeared to have died today. It has the sa3135 movement.

Second hand will not move.  Hands, date, crown and stem are all ok. There is a slight clicking and resistance in the neutral position....I not push it to avert any further damage.

Experts....what are my options to get it back in order?

I already emailed Andrew at Trusty to see what he can do.

i have had no problems wih andrew at ttw8488.com

Had a white one and sold it here.  I don't think it had a spelling issue.

This thing is gorgeous... Just ordered the same from Toro, i hope to get a true v6s !

Thanks...I was at a concert last night and received a few compliments. The green in the sunlight is amazing.

The Portuguese is a favorite.  I wish I wore it more.  It's summer now and I am wearing the Inge, and LPP chrono more along with several Panerai's on Nato.  I have a white Nato holding a Pam114 for a full white effect.  Any formal event, I take the Gueser...of course!

It absolutely is a v6 bezel. It is light, angle and background that are throwing you off. My office is dark with indirect light from a far window.

A repair split is fair and reasonable in context of doing business with members here.  For example, I sold a piece that was damaged in transit and offered to pay for or source a new part. I also forwarded the USPS receipt so the buyer could file an insurance claim of $50 if he so chose.  The member was pleased that I offered to remedy the situation quickly and ultimately never took me up on the offer.  He found an extra part in his parts bin.  The receipt of services rendered should be sufficient given your 96 feedback score.  With a rating like that, I know you are not out to graft someone for a repair job.  

Perhaps provide your repairman's contact information so he may personally verify the issue and services rendered?  I don't think the pictures, whether taken or not prior to the repair, are the issue.  Good faith dealing assumes you found an issue and had it resolved....therefore a good seller will acknowledge this point and cover half of the repair to make the piece operational.

I am interested. Does my hulk v6s need this application? Not sure.

Wow! Sweet looking!!! 
By the way, how's the strap for zf 500901 big pilot?

I'm not sure whether to change it or not when I get it.

It's decent for short term use. I would get a nice crocodile from my dealer on eBay who is in Vietnam Look him up. I have purchased 4 straps from him. Very nice quality.

New v6s hulk...

Looks great, and the 7th is centred in the date window, so its either a different watch from your QC or the dates become left justified when they get up to the double figures, best to check?

Great catch, SSTEEL...I rejected the earlier QC and approved a new, 2nd model. In short, I received a new piece from the stock. All dates look good in the window. The double digits, of course, take up a bit more room in the cyclops!

You know, I may order a second one for reserve since these are so damn good!

Here is a morning shot.

It's here...and looks great. The green bezel is exactly the same as 508's photo. I'm just so impressed. Period.

Andrew from Trusty (ttw8488.com) was most helpful in making sure it was a true v6s model. No mixed v5/v6 business...! He is fine TD in every way based on my experience.

Shipping was incredibly fast....3 days via dhl. Talk about service...!

Took the wrapping off, removed -2 links, gave it a light wash and put it to use. 

Enjoy the photos.
