Miocrow Posted November 11, 2011 Report Posted November 11, 2011 Seem all they improved in this version is the datewheel and AR on the cyclop...
txcollector Posted November 11, 2011 Author Report Posted November 11, 2011 so were the dial and movement like that before?
txcollector Posted November 11, 2011 Author Report Posted November 11, 2011 hmm likely ;-) movement too? with that nice jewel holding the sec 12 o'clock gear
mm..mm Posted November 11, 2011 Report Posted November 11, 2011 Is that a sign of new updated movements for all ?
MJC Posted November 11, 2011 Report Posted November 11, 2011 Sick, but the plate is still not skeletonized :/
Watchmeister Posted November 11, 2011 Report Posted November 11, 2011 The piece de resistance would be to CDG the backplate for viewing through the dial. Then you have a kick ass rep.
txcollector Posted November 11, 2011 Author Report Posted November 11, 2011 The piece de resistance would be to CDG the backplate for viewing through the dial. Then you have a kick ass rep. that's the mod I'm considering. It shouldn't be too hard to do.
Breitfuture Posted November 11, 2011 Report Posted November 11, 2011 Isn't this the same "upgrade" movement used in the newer APs?
Watchmeister Posted November 11, 2011 Report Posted November 11, 2011 that's the mod I'm considering. It shouldn't be too hard to do. Now that would be the cat's pajamas. I might have to join you on this one. Isn't this the same "upgrade" movement used in the newer APs? That is what I thought too.
senator Posted November 15, 2011 Report Posted November 15, 2011 old wine in new bottles!!!! Date window spacing the same as before (V3, V4,V5????)
sul Posted November 16, 2011 Report Posted November 16, 2011 You can buy cheap Fantasy AP RB instead or wait for good one with better date window This is best of cheap AP RB IMHO :
ryanwayer Posted January 10, 2012 Report Posted January 10, 2012 the DW is updated but the movement didn't...still has a apparently big flaw.
greekgod Posted January 10, 2012 Report Posted January 10, 2012 the DW is updated but the movement didn't...still has a apparently big flaw. so what is the apparent big flaw with the movement mate?
greekgod Posted January 10, 2012 Report Posted January 10, 2012 The piece de resistance would be to CDG the backplate for viewing through the dial. Then you have a kick ass rep. Hey W, what do u mean by CDG the back plate? thx
Imaknockov Posted January 10, 2012 Report Posted January 10, 2012 so what is the apparent big flaw with the movement mate? The fact that while the dial is skeletonized, the top plate of the movement is not, so the gears and innards are not visible through the dial as they should be. The movement itself is fine in terms of functionnality.
txcollector Posted January 10, 2012 Author Report Posted January 10, 2012 The fact that while the dial is skeletonized, the top plate of the movement is not, so the gears and innards are not visible through the dial as they should be. The movement itself is fine in terms of functionnality. however that's VERY hard to see on the wrist. I intent to mod the top plate but honestly that's our OCD talking. Completely unnecessary.
fotoman Posted January 11, 2012 Report Posted January 11, 2012 I wear mine all the time. I agree the see through is overkill of worry in "the wild". First, this is so limited edition. You. Could go for the rest of your life without meeting someone who has ever seen one in person. The mag is a little more, but, it's just not something that pops out. It's a very cool piece, I recommend AR coating.
greekgod Posted January 11, 2012 Report Posted January 11, 2012 I want one anyone selling his??? oops or hers? ..Rose Gold!!!
vilius69 Posted January 13, 2012 Report Posted January 13, 2012 The piece de resistance would be to CDG the backplate for viewing through the dial. Then you have a kick ass rep. Who can do this mod? I am in considerations whether to get one or not...
Yannou Posted January 13, 2012 Report Posted January 13, 2012 Who can do this mod? I am in considerations whether to get one or not... Domi for sure
squashlovernk Posted January 14, 2012 Report Posted January 14, 2012 No, Domi does NOT do the CDG plate. He ONLY does the addition of the screws to the dial (dial mod) BUT not the CDG plate. ONLY Sander was successful in doing that mod as of yet and I have not seen another with that mod on any of the boards since. I am sure it could be done from a competent watchmaker/modder but it seems to take ALOT of work and time which is why most will probably not take on the work UNLESS compensation was worth the frustration.
greekgod Posted January 14, 2012 Report Posted January 14, 2012 Can someone plz explain what CDG Mod is??
Watchmeister Posted January 14, 2012 Report Posted January 14, 2012 CDG- Think of it as 3d "striping" the back plate. On this particular model the back plate peaks out from behind the basket weave.
