chefcook Posted October 7, 2010 Report Posted October 7, 2010 .... The Gen has a slightly recessed lever. ... Not always. I've seen both on gens, slightly sticking out as well as slightly recessed. The more important thing is: It does not matter in which direction the lever is uneven from the CG but it should be very slightly uneven.
w0lf Posted October 7, 2010 Report Posted October 7, 2010 there will be an updated CG soon! Can you please expound on this a little more?
trombone Posted October 7, 2010 Report Posted October 7, 2010 Can you please expound on this a little more? my trusted dealer told me, there will be a new CG soon. and normaly she is always right with such things:-) have a nice day!
mkong Posted December 3, 2010 Report Posted December 3, 2010 Please comment on these QC pics I received from Mary. Seems to me that this CG lever is sticking out more than normal..?
mkong Posted December 3, 2010 Report Posted December 3, 2010 Update: Mary said she has 3 of these and all have this flaw..
chefcook Posted December 3, 2010 Report Posted December 3, 2010 then don't buy from her. As you can see from the first picture the lever is protruding so much that it can not be sanded down without hitting the hole for the pin!
TK471 Posted December 3, 2010 Report Posted December 3, 2010 Yeah, skip that one. Buy from someone else
PeteM Posted December 3, 2010 Report Posted December 3, 2010 then don't buy from her. As you can see from the first picture the lever is protruding so much that it can not be sanded down without hitting the hole for the pin! Thats assuming thats the cause of the problem, given how these things are built......... the other known issues could well be causing this problem
mkong Posted December 3, 2010 Report Posted December 3, 2010 Ive already paid her. She asks for payment before sending the pics. She said she will look for another one.
ilyailya Posted March 31, 2011 Report Posted March 31, 2011 (edited) I have one, and the only major tell i can see is: what holds the little hands, is SS looking on gen, rep those circles are black. and crown guard pin looks flat/not polished. (i think easy fix?) Uploaded with ImageShack.us any one ever sand down the metal bracelet to be less sharp on inside corners? mine is cutting my wrist a bit. I was thinking about using grinding stone etc? Edited April 14, 2011 by ilyailya
PeteM Posted March 31, 2011 Report Posted March 31, 2011 The first release didn't have silvered sub dial pins but these can be modded. The bracelet can be sorted with grit paper and scotch brite. Gioarmani did a how to for Rolex bracelet but principle is the same. You can contact the servicer to see if you can get the chrono sorted assuming it was done in the service he should do this for you and at the same time get the pins done. You can polish the CG pin again there are how to's for this But overall just enjoy it mate, it looks great congrats
gran Posted February 14, 2012 Report Posted February 14, 2012 Thanks for this information...250 is a great one on the SS bracelet...(only the subdials seem a little boring + all subdial pins black)
