boncovi Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 Hi guys, I finally received my SA from Josh. Ordered 8/23 Received tracking information 8/23 Delivered to NY,US 8/29 Looks good to me, the date is just a little bit off when you look carefully, however, I'll touch it when my gen baton dial comes in next couple of days The bracelet looks good to me however I will consider a gen pro2 bracelet. Here are the pics, comments/questions are welcome: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanytical Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 Nice. I did 3 different franken SAs before, so you know I'm a fan. The batons dial and gen Pro 2 will be the hotness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alanytical Posted September 3, 2009 Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 Here's a Blue Batons frankie that I sold to a member. This should get you motivated to put that dial in quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krpster Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 Nice one alanytical. That should get boncovi going! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangerous9 Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 Great looking SA. I'd be interested in getting a black baton dial. Where did you get yours and what was the $$? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boncovi Posted September 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 Well, I didn't want to risk it and took it to my watchsmith (Tam in Chinatown, NY) It was late and I'll pick it up today in 6-8 hours. If the question is for me, I got it from Josh, I think it was $330 something, The dial is from ebay, it is listed at $399 buy it now, but I hit "make an offer" and put $300, the seller accepted (I checked his feedback and saw one sold for $300 with best offer). First dial that I received had a scratch on the small dial at 9 o'clock position. the wavy part was kinda "dinged" and it was showing the brass underneath. Nothing major bur visible to naked eye. I contacted the seller and sent it back, as he had multiple units, he sent me another one, which is perfect as you can tell from the images. I'll post the photos as soon as I get it back. Best, boncovi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxman Posted September 5, 2009 Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 I just orderd this same watch from Asian7750 for $299.00. It's a great looking watch. I will probably go with the batons dial and a nice Breitling croc strap. The watch I ordered was sent out today, probably will have It by next Thursday or Friday. Good luck with your new watch and thanks for the great pics Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boncovi Posted September 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 Day 3, already 4 people on the street - subway - bar asked me what watch it is Haven't received that much attention in any of the watches that I've owned before.. Probably due to the bling bling bracelet and huge size, but I'm telling you, this is a goddamn magnet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick001 Posted September 12, 2009 Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 Day 3, already 4 people on the street - subway - bar asked me what watch it is Sound greats! I wanna throw in some sociological thoughts: This would not happen in Europe, or let's say not here in Germany. I don't know why and I'm happy that you are able to enjoy this kind of attention but I wonder what makes the difference. Asking unknown people you've just met in a subway about their watches (or clothing or whatever) is rather "critical": Most people would not enjoy this familiar talk to a complete stranger. Seems to pretty different in the US. Weird, isn't it? Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxman Posted September 12, 2009 Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 I just received the same watch from tony @ Asian7750 for $299.00. I think It's a lot of watch for the money. I really like the way yours came out, very nice Indeed. I have never had a stranger comment on any of my watches, maybe that will change with this bad boy straped to my wrist Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
