I want one too... was seriously even looking at gens for sale! Have you seen www_watch's on the buffalo with blue stitching: http://www.rwg.cc/to...__fromsearch__1 Though my favorite has to be the black carbon fiber strap: (here it is on a gen) The only thing that concerns me is the mineral glass, but I don't think there's much we can do.

Maybe i'm obsessing a little too much here, but this is a pic of a gen from a TZ post. A 112 i believe. I guess it could be the lighting, or just me: but that dial font looks pretty darn white.

I just ordered an asian 111H with sapphire crystal. I will try this, thanks.

Hey sssurfer, please don't feel unappreciated, there are plenty of lurkers out there who appreciate the info greatly. On behalf of all of us: Thank you!

Been looking for a 111H for a week or so. I'm ordering one anyway, but I have to say out of all the 'flaws' that are out there on the current models (cannon pin, CG, etc..) the one that seems to bother me a bit is the font color being white and not the off-white/beige color on the gen :yucky: . This seems to be evident in just about all dealers' products. I know there are a couple of modders that have a fix, but I'm wondering if its silly to send it off just for this issue if it's something maybe I can get done myself.... So..... any possibilty of a complete noob buying a few tools and taking the dial off, applying some of the fixes (coffee, iodine... smoke... religious incantations, etc..) and putting everything back together again? Should I take the TZ watch school first? My motivation is not neccesarily just saving $$, though for me it doesn't make much sense sinking $400-500 on a rep when I might fetch a real one for $3,500 if i'm patient. On the plus side I will most certainly learn a lot more about this hobby (watchmaking I mean, not reps). suggestions? here's a post from flav where he describes his technique: http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showto...=smoke&st=0
