zetterdawg Posted November 3, 2006 Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 The lugs WILL be removable, hence why you get a 'Strap Removal Tool' with the rep. i have an email saying not removable. maybe the removal tool is for something else, but it isn't for those 1.3mm hex screws in the back.

Highflyingclive Posted November 3, 2006 Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 The strap is retained by allen screws. So the "strap removal tool" is an allen key. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watcher Posted November 3, 2006 Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 Puretime's watch is NOT the version being showcased by Josh and Andrew but the cheap copy already available and poor at that!!! Remember it will still be a rep and will have a flaw somewhere, they always do and always will for obvious reasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonton2000 Posted November 3, 2006 Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 ETA 2892, 2893 is the GMT movement. Its been a long day (being born stupid didn't help!) :cc_confused: Puretime's watch is NOT the version being showcased by Josh and Andrew Yeah its the smaller 39mm version, just wanted to show there is a PVD orange numeral version out in some form Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cntrl Posted November 3, 2006 Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 can't wait for it to come out. I have already sourced the screws that uses the same 1.3mm hex. If it comes etched, I will machine it to fit the faux hex screws. *fingers crossed* I sure hope they used real hex screws on Josh/Andrew's rep.

tvt Posted November 4, 2006 Report Share Posted November 4, 2006 (edited) Well, there seems to be no clear answer here. Clive has seen it and says it uses genuine hex screws and yet ALL the photos CLEARLY show HORRIBLE fake, stamped hex screws on the back. Furthermore the fake seems to be missing the standard screws found on the FACE of the original (not the case but the face itself). So it seems that this new fake will have some "screwy" issues to corrct if it to be even close to the gen.

The pics are of a prototype model, and they have both said for sure that the dial WILL have PVD screws. Im willing to bet the back will have real screws also.

tvt Posted November 5, 2006 Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 Really? Cool! I did not know that they were saying it WOULD have the PVD screws on the face. If it DOES then I agree, the watch is damn nice from the front. I however doubt the back will have the proper hex screws. I REALLY hope I am wrong but without them it is a virtual deal breaker for me... simply because the stamped look is so cheesey. However if they do have the hex screws then sign me up.

mastergod Posted November 6, 2006 Report Share Posted November 6, 2006 Same here. Me to, orange. PS - why don't reps come with superlume as standard? It doesn't cost anything, and it's always a dead giveaway, particularly for Panerai and, now, BR. Even orange superlume is no problem. Anybody?

Probably because the factories have absolute vat loads of regular lume left, and before we started getting such good quality reps, it wasn't an issue. In our community we are anal about these things, but i bet for every one of us, there are 5 'normal' people who dont really care. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pman Posted November 6, 2006 Report Share Posted November 6, 2006 (edited) I thought I read on another board that the orange/PVD 39mm rep didn't have any lume at all. Does anybody remember seeing that as well? If so, that's a deal killer for me. No lume at all, come on!! By the way here's a shot of Andrew's watch. No hex screws, just PVD.

For every one of us there are 50,000 people who don't care. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
