flavor flav Posted September 21, 2006 Report Posted September 21, 2006 I am wearing my 112 with my new LV strap which I don't really like I want it though to get the dark patina and I can't wait 2 months so I will try all sorts of mambo jumbo to get it right fast... use mink oil.....gives a dark patina and a super silky feel.

Pugwash Posted September 21, 2006 Report Posted September 21, 2006 That's not the Day of the week allignment problem I was talking about! Dont adjust the day/date or photograph your watch between 10P and 2A See, I'm a purist when it comes to photos. I take the pic with the hands pointing where they're pointing and the dates semi-rolled over. Only on rare occasions do I set the watch to 10:08 or align the date cleverly. There's no point in falsifying beyond mild photoshop enhancements. This is what it looked like before The Zigmeister graciously refitted my date wheel (and a genuine dial):

There's no point in falsifying beyond mild photoshop enhancements. This is what it looked like before Ziggy graciously refitted my date wheel (and a genuine dial): So on the genuine dial, the "S" in Schaffhausen" lines up more or less directly under the left border edge of the date window and in the replica, the "S" sits to the left of this border. Is this the only difference in the two dials?

Is this the only difference in the two dials? That and the lack of lume on the rep. Oh, and the little-known (or seen) issue of the hour sub-dial not being aligned perfectly on-axis, but let's not worry too much about that one, eh?
