great pics by-tor! is the ultimate PO as good as i told you it was or what..... does it not make the 4th gen 42mm look like canal st? in my opinion....it's mayrb the best rep out there.
thanks for the comments! i like the way the hands seem to be floating in the pvd. looks like they are not attached to anything. cool effect. i've not heard back from the owner as to if he likes it or not. so we'll see if the sandwich dial goes back in or we leave it like this. i think it's the bomb!
thanks mike! i was having trouble getting a thick sandwich dial to work right with the seconds hand so i started troubleshooting with a thinner blank dial. when i installed the hands on the blank dial i really liked the look! by accident the radiomir is pure beauty in my eyes! this dial was sent for the pvd and it was a radiomir dial by mistake and obviously was too big to fit the pvd so i got to thinking and stripped my 183
i was working on some projects here. what do you guys think! note: the rad is a mock up and not assembled. fiddy hands are in there to see what the gold hands look like. obviously i'd have to get a gold rad hand set to fit. take a look and voice your opinions. these are for a member here and i'm trying to come up with unbranded ideas for him. and thank you to the members who sent me movements for repair. i was able to upgrade this member's watch from asian to swiss at no charge
destro radiomir!
smooth dial super duper crazy lume hand PVD
looks like ofrei sells 2 straps for the PO. 20mm and 21mm. now, i measured the width of my steel gen bracelet and it's 21.916mm. i wonder if the rubber should be 21mm? will this work? it's 169+20 for the buckle. not too bad really. i'll get it if it will fit. does anyone know if the gen rubber strap should be 22mm on the 45.5mm PO or 21mm?????
right they should label them ETA not "swis ETA" because they are not build in switzerland but made by a swiss company. and asian should keep it's name. "asian or ETA" not "asian or swiss"
what fitmic is saying is pretty much how i feel......it's horrible. and.....it sucks the way to go for a PO is the ultimate 45.5 josh and andrew sell. there is no good 42mm. 4th gen is a nice "watch" but a sloppy rep compared to the ultimate 45.5 which passes for gen IMHO.
you shouldn't need a press to get most out.....in is another story! i've changed over 10 crystals with my palm and a hard table. that said....i am getting a press anyways
looks like we have a total of 12 so far. 28 more to go
i will at LEAST send by bentley crystal. maybe my gen SMP and SMP GMT crystals as they came factory no AR coatings. maybe more i'll let you know how many later on.
thanks for doing all the legwork!
i'll take the double coats on all of them!
that's an asian movement??? holy crap! looks better than the swiss! your pics will give TTK and Pugwash a strong run for the money! looking really really good! BTW which cannon are you shooting with?
that site does not sell asian reps! read the options. they have even italian panerais! the look like the nicest ones i've ever seen too
holy crap that's the most crooked BS i've ever seen!
davidsen's casebacks seem kind of thin. i'm not sure if they are more or less accurate? the finish on the normal dealer's rep casebacks is better i think while davidsen's cases and crystals and CG are better IMHO. i have swapped rep casebacks onto davidsens case! opposite of what you are doing
