mdw4 Posted July 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 well for the moment i went with a jackson watch. i would, however, like to find a place that sells a 112-type sandwich dial (prefer that '12) and definitely plan to redo the loom on the numbers (hands are fine). the strap that came with it is a lot nicer than i thought. i do have a strap culture strap on order already tho. build quality seems great, especially for what it cost. not sure how long it will last, but at the price jackson charges, they're practically disposable. what mods would you suggest doing do the watch? please pardon the iPhone pics Cheers, M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drulee Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 Pretty good pics for an iPhone Since it's an "homage", the mods are just a matter of personal taste. Re-luming, pressure testing and servicing by one of the established modders will turn that "disposable" into something you may star babying.

It looks like the MM93 but yours looks like it has bolder numbers...do you remember by any chance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trailboss Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 The boys at home are on a homage kick and have been buying quite a bit from jackson and getat. Jackson's dials are ten bucks each! The watches at getat are great value for money, review of their 47mm Radiomir HERE Getat's latest offerings HERE The straps on the ones from Getat are worth the price of the watch, no kid. They are available seperatly as well. Col. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noel Fleischer Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 i have a PVD PR model from getat. for about $100 it's pretty nice. the PR function works well and lasts at least 40 hrs. also keeps good time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aspartam Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 I have a MM132, pam homage in titanium that i got from jacksontse with sapphire. Would liked to have Chieftang's AR-coating on it. I wonder if its real sapphire on this one? If its not real I dont think its worth it. Can somebody do a stress test on the crystal?

Did you ask for Sapphire crystal, when you purchased it? If you did, it is. Jackson's Sapphire is thinner than others, but it is real Sapphire - I have a couple of his crystals myself.

Ok thanks, but thats good news. You say its thinner than others. How thin compared to others and does it have a practical effect or something?

Member X Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 re: the Lume, I believe Getat is developing dials and hands with the V10 lume as he's been listening to the RWG1.1 boys about what they want. If he can sort it out, they'll easily be worth the extra money over the jackson stuff! Although both are great for the money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trailboss Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 Yep, I can confirm that your Getat will come with V10 if you ask for it. He also does a full 5 position test on a timer on every watch before it goes out now! TIMER TEST Col. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
