The longest paint job in the history......it took 219 years to paint the white house black

Have a look at this on Josh's site. http://www.jpc8118.com/000000000-coming-so...ono-p-5255.html Looks pretty good. Some flaws as I see them are... 6 marker should be cut off by the date window and the markers at the top of the dial (10 / 11 / 12 etc.) should be thicker. Any comments?

There are claims of interchangeable parts (including movement).....e.g. Concord C1. Visually...the watches are identical.

Don't think there are any rep straps for HBB. I remember a member once managed to pick up a leather strap from an AD....and later sold the watch. It may be possible to be ask one of the resident strap gurus to customize one for you. Cheers

Josh...his communication and after sales service are in a different league.

Amazing photos....and the watch is like s.ex on toast.....am drooling all over this baby.

Thanks.....that's what I thought. PR on max is ok since it will stay there if you are wearing it and unlikely that anyone will ever see it move. Am planning to get one for myself. Cheers

I haven't bought a rep in 2 months now .... was buying around 2-3 every month. Hopefully the prices will start to tumble soon.

Good news indeed.

I had the same issue. Got a replacement bezel and all good for now

The version with the different DW position has also been recently listed here http://www.joshwatch.com/0137a-p-5205.html

Wow Lani....that sure looks nice

Hmmm...interesting. I remember reading in some review that the strap looked like it was worth $100

I thought the strap on the Big Pilot was the best one we have seen on a rep till date. Is it still necessary to have it changed? Cheers

Looks good mate. Can you please post better pics? Can you also comments on the weight of the watch (does it feel heavy on the wrist? / any way for you to weight it?)

Mate....pics pls.....waiting anxiously.

Pics pics

I love the FM......can anyone comment on the back markings for this watch...does it have the gold/Jeweller's stamp etc....and is it engraved in crisp lettering (it had better be....for the price it is being sold for )

@hambone...pls post some pics + a wrist shot once you get the watch. Cheers

Don't forget the Calibre 16 on the rotor

Am seriously considering getting this one....

RG Plating is ok for normal use....lasts a fair bit of time if you wear it once in a while. Am not worried about the plating....but more on the accuracy of the watch comapred to the gen.

Josh has put up a new Franck Muller Casablanca @ this link: http://www.joshwatch.com/fmca01002-casabla...750-p-5140.html Could the experts pls chime in on the accuracy of the watch? I have been dying to get my hands on an accurate FM for years now. Cheers

WOW......well done guys!
