@PT could share with us exactly what the factory says of this 29J movement? and You can get pictures from manufacturers of this so called "new 29J"?

@ Mahler, Factory have not given me any extra info on 29 jewel movement, however a couple of weeks back when the basel editons were released, i asked if the movement was to be installed in the older style daytona's. At that time, the answe was "No"

It is possible now it has been released according to other dealers posts, however i would like to see the 2008 daytona models taken apart to see if the movement is the same.

As for aquaring pictures, i can only obtain ones with caseback open, i cannot get any with movement taken apart. This is something i would like to see too.

Those who have ordered the 2008 versions it would be interested to hear about reliability. The older style daytona's would tend to give way in weeks, if the movement was bad...

The above comment i made was a "comment" not a fact.

I am as much interested as you are about this movement. I hardly sell daytona's because of the failure rate of this movement.

I am yet to stock this product. As i too would like to hear about the changes in movement which is what attracted me to your post.

Please note i have no major watch repair skills.. so asking me to take apart a movement is something i am unable to do. If i had the knoweledge on how to do this, beleive me i would do it first thing to show any possible improvements on this piece.

I merely commented on your review to say when i asked about this movement in the older style daytona, i was told it was not ready yet.

I am not saying the movement is not the claimed improved 29jewel movement... all i am saying is i would be interest to see the 2008 basal models disassembled to check if it is the same, based on what i was told a couple of weeks back.

If it is the same.. then fair dues.... you have an excellant review which has helped me and a lot of other members. I do not like to buy dead stock.. hence why this review is as important to me as it is to you.

Remember i am not selling or advertising any of these just yet... I am contributing to this thread, so we can compile an accurate review of this movement for all members knowledge.

Please do not jump on me for merely making a comment. It is the sole reason why many dealers like me choose not to participate in user threads and only post in our own sections. When we do participate somehow we automatically become a target.

Interesting read.... As far as i am aware the new improved movement is only installed in the 2008 basel editon daytona's, and yet to be installed on the older type models.

I noticed your one is the older style daytona.

I understand you were told the new movement is installed on this by a dealer... but i think its worth analysing a 2008 basel edition or an IWC Portuguese before discarding this movement.

A Round of applause to you... My Friend. Good Job!

also have a dewitt going for clearance

How much did you pre-pay? Everything I'm hearing is soon, soon and around $350-$385, which is worrying, but inevitable. I have the cash sitting around ready to go to my dealer.

Officially released today..... Pug yours is already No1 on the waiting list... will update you with delivery info in 2 days.

Some Decent Pics for you to enjoy courtesy of Precious Time AKA PT

Bytor has hit the nail on the head. RWG should be more of an underground site. Its way to easy to find the forums using google.

I have been hit by the same bug. Hence for now my section on the forum is closed.

Ok... After some long hard fustrating thinking.... Ive finally come to a decision. The last four were very hard to choose from, but im going with the first one that really was mindblowing when i first saw it.

Andreww, Jboy, and Jkarpas.... All your designs were Phenomenal.

However i think the new Face of Precious Time has to be Turkey's Logo - Providing he gives the permsion i would like to combine two of the Concepts he gave.

I would like to give a big shout out to all those who made an attempt. To show my appreciation you will all get 15% off any order which you decide to place with me.

Turkey... Congratulations...You get the grand prize. Email me with what watch you like the most. I will see what i have up my sleeve.

Once again thank you all and i look forward to seeing the new Logo on my site.

Regards

Okay... After a lot more playing about with my website and these logos, i have now narrowed it down to the last 4 designs.

Andreww with the following design

Jboy with the following design.

Jkarpas with the following design.

Turkey with the following, The design on the bottom middle.

Its gonna be a nail biting finish....

Going to have to sleep on this one and will try and come to a conclusion tomorrow.

PT

Just to give you a quick insight. Here are the final designs i will be choosing from.

These are in no particular order:

Andreww with the following designs, Both are very well layed out

Jboy with the following design. Looks very sleek

Jkarpas with the following design. I can see me using this as watermark.

LeGambleur with the following design, Like the look of this just wondering where it will fit on the site.

Turkey with the following, The design on the bottom middle is great. Would also work as an excellant watermark.

v00id with the following designs. Both i can easily vision on my site

Vric with the following design. Has a great look about it

Im going to try and filter these down. It was hard enough to pick these out. Everyone else done a great job also.

===================COMPETITION IS NOW OVER==============================

First of all thank you to everyone that took part. It was really fun to see some of the designs, a lot of hard work has been put in by everyone and its extremely hard for me to pick a winner.

I'm going to go through all the posts and see if i can come to a final decision. Its going to be a difficut choice as i like a lot of the designs. I will announce the winner shortly so stay tuned.

PT

===================================================================

I don't possess any of those fancy programs (some of) you guys have....so I took a while with Paint. I realize your site is very elegant and may not have room for this.....but hey, like my dad says "I don't care about your grades, just honestly do your best"....so I did.I was unable to load my paint image onto imageshack due to the lack of internet speed here.....so I took a picture of the design and cropped it as accurately possible to make it look good.....pardon the weird effects.All the best,Dutchy

ok... I got to get into this

I call it simple:

Excellant design there. Both very sleek.

Although this is likely the greatest logo in the history of mankind, I must exclude it from the competition. PT invited me over for an "exclusive" photo session, an "unfair edge" in my honest opinion.

Behold the beauty that is PT!

Wow there are some excellant designs here. I may just take someones offer up on website design. I like the layout of whats on there right now but it can definatley do with some tweaking.

There competition is really a difficult one. I know there are still a few entries left. Some people have been working quite hard towards this.

There are some elements a like from various designers here. If i find it that difficult to make up my mind, there might just be more than 1 winner

Love the idea... Thats some great stuff.

Wow LeGambleur.... Amazing stuff

I might just have to open a chain of websites

So Hard to choose, only a few days left

ITS ALIVE!!! Well, that was sort of a dumb idea, but I wanted to animate it(dumb dumb dumb idea). I like it better as a static image.

@Turkey - Another great Idea.... I wonder if you can get a Swiss ETA version of that logo?

I Like it..... I knew there would be someone to come up with this theme.

A few quick questions if I may (that will help me and others....)

Do you prefer a "graphical" logo? (One with a picture of some sort in it) - Or just a straight type logo (words only)?

Do you want the logo to fit any particular format? (eg - as a banner on your wesite and at the bottom of posts - or do you want something that can be an avatar too)?

Will it be ONLY for web applications - or do you want something that can go on letterhead, etc?

And yes - I do this for a living. The more info you provide, the better designs you end up with.

Thanks!

I prefer a logo with some sort of watch element to it.

Banner type is fine, but it will be an excellant idea if there is some sort of content on there which i can then use for other things, e.g. watermarking my pictures.

Open to ideas and suggestions.

I would like to use a black background on my website so it would be good to get something to match. However if the logo is exceptionally good, then im happy to change my background accordingly.

PT

@Jboy

Excellant Concepts. This competition is really heating up.

Mahler.... Looking forward to your ideas.

Here is a draft of what I came up with -- maintaining original style and giving it a fresh look.

Feedback welcome and/or a FREE WATCH.

I cant see this logo? When i click on the link i just get a box with red x? Your second one i can see fine.
