Well, Mike, that's an interesting story. I am very curious about your collection now and your graveyard shelf.😁 I have three women at home and when I spend too much on watches, they also want to buy more shoes and clothes😉 and that is costly🤣
This way I can justify my hobby a bit.👍

Just like maybe many of you, I'm was already in an early stage started collecting watches. This went on and off sometimes with a number of years that I have not even looked at them. The result was often that the watches also quickly disappeared from the scene and other interests got the upper hand.
Now years later I noticed that the watch virus began to itch. Fortunately, there is now internet and that used to be different in the old days😁 and now the search for watches was a lot easier. I then came also for the first time in contact with a Dutch forum and later also international fora. Here I got the first impressions in the rep scene and saw what a beautiful watches members had. Not long after that I bought my first rep. I just can't remember wich one that was😬
Anyhow, I was completely "hooked". Over the past few years I bought, sold and even exchanged watches. Then came the moment the watch boxes were pretty full and that I realized that not every watch the appreciation got what it deserved, so I decided to sell my watches and spent the money to buy high end reps . I was pretty impressed by the watches built by Kilowattore, Tripdog, BabaNJ etc. Many of you have probably already heard and possibly seen all of their work . Now that I decided to upgrade to high end reps I could fit my collection in a single box😁
However, I began to wonder how I could justify it for myself to spend several hundreds of dollars on high end watches, while still being Replica's (no offense). I then took a completely different path in terms of watches and have sold almost all of my watches again and started a new search. Only this time for gen watches. Also there is a world of choices, but some with a very sturdy price tag. It had to remain credible for me though, so I created for myself a maximum budget to keep it somewhat affordable🤔
After a long search I came across the Junghans and Glycine brand. Junghans is a brand which is especially known to the older members and a little forgotten. Too bad because they make really good and reliable watches in Germany. Glycine is Swiss watch company, but I had not yet heard of it.
Glycine is a watch manufacturer which was founded in 1914, and is based in Bienne, Switzerland. The brand is famous for its Airman-line, a collection of GMT watches with 24-hour indication which debuted in 1953. This was primarily a benefit of both military and commercial pilots. The Airman was worn during the Vietnam war by many pilots of the United States air force.
The Junghans factory was founded in 1861. The factory was initially specialized in the production of individual watch parts, but it soon became the recognized craftsmanship and produced complete watches . In 1866, Junghans produced there first watch
The logo with the 8-pointed star was first registered in 1890 and is still the Junghans trademark. Recently, Junghans is saved by an investor who wanted to keep the brand alive. The investor has made sure that the factory can remain open and that beautiful new Junghans watches can be produced with style and quality that are very important for Junghans.The Meister series is by Junghans again revived and in my opinion they have done that really well . It is a nod to the past of fast cars and cockpit instruments.

Too bad that something like this happens to you.
But be sure you talk to the right guy. You accidently blame a friend of mine, also called Frederico on several forums.
Hope you can find the right person. Scammer we don't like😡

That a nice project you started there. Great looking watch and I love the dial as it is. Saw similar Clebar for 1000 dollar on Ebay.
I am looking forward to see the final result 👍

I think we should wait for a V6 version to get all flaws out🤣
But the one on the left 😍
