sonicpath Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 I've been looking for an Arktos for a while, just wondering who has the best version of these models? and which one is more accurate and easy to mod? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StormTooper4 Posted August 27, 2010 Report Share Posted August 27, 2010 I don't have one (yet) but from what I can tell is that Josh/andrew did the best version, I'm not sure if they still have them. There are cheaper non A7750 version but they have really bad Date fonts and Mags so I would avoid those even though the price looks good. Get one of the ultimates as these have the best crystals and Date wheels. I did read that the bezel markers have a tendancy to pop off so a quick whiz of some glue might be an idea. I think the 400$ price has always put me off but from what I can gather they are a quality watch. Hope you find one and don't forget to show it off when it arrives ST4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonicpath Posted August 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2010 thanks Bro I might just go for the 186 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormTooper4 Posted August 28, 2010 Report Share Posted August 28, 2010 This seem quite good value , but the dw may need an upgrade at some stage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axeman Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 I've been looking for an Arktos for a while, just wondering who has the best version of these models? and which one is more accurate and easy to mod? Just picked up a 186 from Josh...Nice watch, accurate time keeper, with great wrist presence. Will be doing a couple of mods (sending to Vac to lume, Dental floss bezel mod). So far I really like it. Serivce from Josh was excellent. Order to wrist in 8 days to the upper midwest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EMM Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 I have a 252 from Josh. Other than the DW, dental floss mod and the usual CG issue, it's pretty spot on. I think I'll put a 2G or Leo DW in it and call it done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txcollector Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 The 186 is a great rep but definitely you will need to send to Vac or The Zigmeister for lume, put a T48 and a DW upgrade. The CG is not 100% correct and it could get an upgrade there too (maybe a sembo or LH). Very nice looking watch. I'm wearing mine at the moment (with the above mods).
