V

Yeap now that you say it like this it makes better sense to me

Ok.. I will edit my post accordingly... The rep crown you sent me was the best I have ever seen, but still it was thinner than the gen and the t-crown.

I got today my t crowns.. he was kind enough to send me 2 ss (1,2 and 0,9) and 2 titanium (same). First of all we should thank him for the effort he has put into all this.. Quality: The quality and finish of the crowns is amazing.. Best I've ever seen... Of course in the titanium ones he has used real titanium and they are lighter than the ss. Fitting: Checked all his crowns and they do fit PERFECT with a Joshua rep case and also fit PERFECT with a 1:1 V cg.. No need to trim the lever which means that the inside of the crown is exactly the same as the genuine crown. Comments: Well 't' put by mistake a Rep crown on the ones he sent me... The rep crown has beveled edges (I don't know how to explain it so check the images) hence it looked a bit closer to the genuine because of that but it was thinner than the other ones. Here are the comparison photos.. Don't pay attention to my fingers Gen crown: T-crown automatic on Joshua case: Standard REP crown on Joshua case: T-crown Automatic SS on the left - REP crown on the right: T-crown Automatic SS on the left Titanium automatic on the right: And here is what I mean about the difference in the edges:

Well.. it would be nice to put a nice PreV cg because this one is thin and with a dreadful pin.. also it would be nice to put a tourby crown... Dial is decent. not the best but no other dial is perfect anyway

Decent watch but mostly a waste of a Jimmy FU case.. It is not good for the 201/A.

Congrats my friend... Now the 5000 posts objective..

He said it before to placing a order contact me via email: t_crowns /at/ yahoo.de

Excellent crown T.... What we really needed was what you have made.. a crown that will look gen on the outside but it will work for the reps... Price is more than fair if you consider how good these are. It seems the road to the perfect Pam is one step closer...

Of course The problem-happy moment will be when and if we will have a second son that I will have to buy another 'gen' to give it to him when he will grow up.. When i will have first use it for 20 years so that he will remember his father wearing it So let's hope the second one will be a boy and not a girl

Same thing today.. Thankfully it is still on my wristbecause a little monster even from 3 months old is trying to take it from me... my prescious 112....

Same here.. I am now browsing ebay for Hamiltons... like I need anothr watch... Anyway.. Nice photos and watch.. And the strap it is very good looking.. but I have to say that both Strapculture straps that came to my hands were smelling AWFUL.. Nothing even close to italian shoes.. Smell some Italian leather hide straps and you will instantly understand the difference.

If you send me one I can conpare it with my gen 112 crown as well...

Yes.. black straps do not show their texture well from photos. You must have them in your hands.. The only strap I have seen to resemble with this hide is the MP1 in black with also vintage hides. This soft-rubbery feeling when you touch it but not from a treatment but from the time that has passed. Very unique...

Glad to hear everything worked out well for you Dani..

Happy birthday my friend...

I personally did it... but the other way around.. Bought my favourite genuine watch (the 112) while having all my frankens/reps. And then I just couldn't take it off my wrist for any of the others so I sold them.

I was searching for a vintage black strap for a looooong time.. And i found a 50 y.o. black hide in my last trip in Greece which I adored. The textured smell and colour was perfect. Vintage XXL length for nice tail and a Simona spare buckle I had. It resembled a lot with the 50 y.o. Simona Ammo hide I love as well. Same softness, thickness, edges and smell. For someone who wouldn't know could say that it is the same hide but in black (dont know how possible that is although both Italian hides) Enjoy the photos and let me know what you think Comparison with the Simona:

LOVE it.. from the photos looks amazing. I will definately get one when you receive yours and it is indeed nice. edit to add.. i wonder if you can put a manual movement in it ?

Soooooo true... I hope you all remember the old days were the prices were given by PMs only and never anounced openly, hence sometimes different people were getting different prices at different periods of time Anyway.. I agree that lies and threatening dealers to fix prices is not good at all but at this case a 40$ increasing of a watch price is acceptable for me whatever the reason. Until they threaten for example Silix to higher his price. That would have been price fixing and an actual problem.

I agree.. If T dial and even better A series get it. They will only go up in price so it is an investment plus getting your Grail watch.

Also this will go nicely with a white dial as well and give it a vintage look.. Here on my 112

Where does xlr8tn offers his straps? Edit.. I found it: http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showto...mp;#entry506449

Nice watch and great photos as usual... The tongue part of the strap though is upside down
