Looks very nice! I guess mine is still in production, since I didn't hear anything from concepta....

Concepta warned everyone that franken portu's would be heavily delayed as his watch smith is backed up.

By the way, what is the "35"? i have never owned a Portu other than a cheap rep years ago so I am not familiar with them,

Yes..i got the pics yesterday from Vada.

Seems like a watch smith has slipped with the tool :(

It´s incredibly difficult to swap bezels on the Portus so i can understand why it´s happened.

We´ll get it sorted out!

Regarding other Portus! I have decided it is time to stop!

I can not keep delivery times since i don´t even get a response from the watch maker!

Ongoing projects will be finalized but i am not accepting any new Portu projects from now on!

Thanks for the understanding!

How right you are Concepta. Is the watch smith modding the inner ring or decorative bezel do you know?

For what I know the watch smith must mill the case from inside to let the gen tachyring fit properly

Rep tachyring doesn't have this kind of problem, obviously

The case, in this franken project, is always rep.

hope to sort out my tachy problem, even if you can see it too much

Sorry I should have been more clear. I stand to be corrected here but...

The Rep case needs to be machined to accept the genuine movement, we know this much. I believe the inner ring and/or decorative bezel must also be modified to accept the genuine inner ring as it's much larger.
