I loved every second of this show. 3rd season has had the ok too!

Ssteel is doing some repairs for me when I make it to the post office! Very nice chap!

It is simple to relume the bottom plate... If you separate and removed lume you would find the shaped numbers/markers engraved in the plate.... So filling is easy just fill up the engravings..

You need a C1plus C3 mix to match gen... Usually in thirds

The ST on the back refers to steel... It's on all OEM back plates unless of course they are brass

I wouldn't use a KW model as the case and CG are wrong shape and incorrect markings... There are other flaws but overall it's not as accurate to gen as the ZF... The only problem with ZF is consistency so if you go that route be careful with QC...

I say that because I was fortunate enough to have all 3 ... Gen KW and ZF.... I need to get round to doing a review sometime to highlight the flaws and accuracies of both reps...

Thanks for all that info! I already have a zf 351, and it's really amazing. Beautiful watch even if it's a replica. I'd definitely buy more zf watches. Might look into buying the case, movement and hands seperately and see what happens, and getting the lume sorted is first priority!

Thanks chaps!

Ha!

You're best using one of the recommended rep friendly watchmakers/repairs people on this forum.

Are there any movements that are readily available that will work well with the seconds at 9? Thinking of trying to do my first Franken project with little to no knowledge. Apart from the gruen horological texts book I got from Amazon this week! And probably a lot of silly questions on this forum.

Also thanks for all your help. Is there a difference I'd be able to spot between the 312 and the 111 from the dial alone?

I think it is black, the light in my apartment may have made the photo look brown. I have a 351 and this seems darker.

It has ST stamped into the back.

I thought the lume was pasted onto the bottom ply of the dial, hence sandwich.

This is a two ply dial but the lume is in fragments?

For the record I think it's gen, where it's selling from there was heavy flooding recently, so it would make sense.

£2,750 is a big gamble if it's a rep though.

As above, was told it was original but I don't know enough to judge. Didn't pay too much for it, came from New York. Was told there was a lot of the lume missing, and there is.

Would like any ideas as to wether it's gen or not, and if so, which pam?

Thanks y'all.

I quite like the way it looks. The price isn't really worth considering as I wouldn't spend 67k on anything that wasn't made of bricks and mortar.

I use oils on my beard too, but nothing fancy, just walnut oil. Make up seems a bit much, even for a modern man. I'm not even sure I like it on women.

Gen portofino base model. Got it today. Love it.

Just looks a tad too bold. I'm probably wrong.

Cool to see this. Thanks.

Looks like he's got the wrong typeface for all the writing on the face.

I know a fair bit about typography, but I'm a noob and don't know much about watches.

Did you sell this? It looks really nice.

Laphraoig. Always.

Right now trying out a bottle of Caol Ila 12. Pleasantly surprised.

Don't drink too often any more, just a tipple on a Sunday afternoon.

Ah I already read about this seconds at 6 issue that seems to plague all reps. Is that across the board? Does it affect chronos too? I was actually looking at the portifino chrono with the a7750 movement from puretime, the seconds are at 9... i may have already purchased it along with a pam127
