Eton Posted October 20, 2009 Report Posted October 20, 2009 Well here's the story...I originally sent my crystals away for the May AR run, the crystals were coated but didn't meet Chief's standards. So, they were sent again on the next run and came back "flawless." I finally received the crystals back last week, and man was it worth the wait, I was speechless at the results!!! Like Chief said "Second time was a charm" Thanks Again!!!
Toadtorrent Posted October 20, 2009 Report Posted October 20, 2009 Woohoo...great result...great pic.
Eton Posted October 21, 2009 Author Report Posted October 21, 2009 Thanks guys! It was short lived with the 6.75 as I sent it for servicing yesterday. Oh well, the navi is keeping me company
chronoluvvv Posted October 21, 2009 Report Posted October 21, 2009 you lucky, lucky guy ... how'd ya even manage to get on the list ? haha
Eton Posted October 21, 2009 Author Report Posted October 21, 2009 Thanks again guys, I couldn't wait to post the results. This is an addictive "hobby" and it seems to only get better and more enjoyable as time goes by. I appreciate the community and the support, advice, and feedback of members. It took a while to get onto a run, but persistence and patience pays off! Lucky indeed!
kaslan Posted November 13, 2009 Report Posted November 13, 2009 I'm in love with the 6,75 where did you get it from ?
hackR Posted November 14, 2009 Report Posted November 14, 2009 looking good KS!...love em... Breiltings were made for black/white photog... R-
Eton Posted November 16, 2009 Author Report Posted November 16, 2009 I'm in love with the 6,75 where did you get it from ? I bought it from Hont, quick communication and the watch arrived pretty fast as well! I've purchased most through him as his prices are really good!
Eton Posted November 16, 2009 Author Report Posted November 16, 2009 Here's a little shot after being serviced and lumed!
yodap Posted November 16, 2009 Report Posted November 16, 2009 Nice! But the 30 min counter hand has been swapped with the seconds hand...
chronoluvvv Posted November 16, 2009 Report Posted November 16, 2009 (edited) seems that YodaP may be partially right here's the gen 6.75 but then here's the gen 6.75 Speed with chrome trim on the sub-dials Edited November 16, 2009 by chronoluvvv
yodap Posted November 16, 2009 Report Posted November 16, 2009 Yes, all the new speed models have the arrow hand now for seconds, not for minutes. The older ones had / have it in reverse.
PeteM Posted November 16, 2009 Report Posted November 16, 2009 Lovely looking watch, you must be chuffed.
Eton Posted November 16, 2009 Author Report Posted November 16, 2009 Nice! But the 30 min counter hand has been swapped with the seconds hand... When I received the watch back from Z, I noticed it as well, his school of thought was the chrono hands should be the same and I agree. So, I just left it the way it is. I'm not passing it off as a gen and I was also aware of the variance with the speed, so it was a small thing. I was waiting for somebody to point it out, I thought as I posted the pic "yodap will notice the switch"
Eton Posted November 16, 2009 Author Report Posted November 16, 2009 Lovely looking watch, you must be chuffed. Thank you so much! Completely thrilled, it was a somewhat rough road, but man was it worth it! Cheers
HauteHippie Posted November 16, 2009 Report Posted November 16, 2009 I prefer the hands in the configuration you have them now.
Eton Posted November 16, 2009 Author Report Posted November 16, 2009 I prefer the hands in the configuration you have them now. Thanks Chief! I admire your craftsmanship everytime I put the watch on Thanks again!
P4GTR Posted November 16, 2009 Report Posted November 16, 2009 Oh my.. Thats is quite seductive watch porn you have there.
Eton Posted November 17, 2009 Author Report Posted November 17, 2009 (edited) I hadn't thought of it that way, but glad the pic represents some level of "money shot". Thanks Edited November 17, 2009 by ksbreitling
