porschespeedster Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 Someone with a decent printer should get a batch of datewheels going! Looks like a great watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryaku Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 Someone with a decent printer should get a batch of datewheels going! Looks like a great watch. A decent printer is not enough unfortunately. You need to know how to create a good datewheel and you need a gen datewheel to start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
importr Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 Sublime review Chrgod, thanks. I'm not a fan of this watch, but can appreciate that it's very nicely made. Well done to all involved Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitestripes Posted December 1, 2011 Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 Who has this for cheapest? Andrew and Josh have it for $228 + $30 shipping. I hate how shipping costs more than 10% of the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fischyyy Posted December 2, 2011 Report Share Posted December 2, 2011 You complain about 40 bucks, come on I pay either 45 or 55 bucks plus 20$ for the UK options so I there is no customs risk or delay. By the way, its there any other member from Hungary on the board? I am a german who lives part time in hungry as part of my medical studies and I'm not sure if the 20 bucks for the UK option are even necessary. But as I speak nearly no Hungarian and could not fill our any Customs paperwork or even go there and pick up my watch I choose the safe option. Any other member from Hungary here who can tell me if the UK transfer is necessary? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bardamu Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 Very nice review, thanks for sharing. It gives me interesting information, as this watch is in my wishlist. But... I'm still hesitating between this black version (classical flieger), or a white dial version (more "dress watch"). I just wonder how is the finishing of the white dial.

Do you think this is a product of it being one of the first 2892 clones out there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrgod Posted January 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 Do you think this is a product of it being one of the first 2892 clones out there? I sure not hope it is bad quality.. We need more properly replicated clone movement models... I hope Domi can share his opinion on the A2892 after doing the service on mine, I have not yet seen a watchmakers review of it. Anyone knows whether The Zigmeister has reviewd the 2892 clone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stepien100 Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 (edited) Today i was in AD to test gen. Watch is rly small, i think bezel width or hands length is not problem here because no one would be able to spot it on this small one, but numbers and especially seconds indicators are way off in this case. I wonder if it's possible to install gen dial. Also AR is so clear on gen, that is second thing to do. Sorry for my english Edited February 23, 2012 by stepien100 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cougar1 Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 Chrgod, did you ever get the movement in this sorted out? Any update? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FxrAndy Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 Well i have now got mine and after a couple of days wearing it i see the following issues Min hand a touch to short ,Solution gen hands set, bit this is a minor issue and hard to spot. Seconds hand a bit to fat, Solution As above but i may see if i can find a thiner one or thin this one a little Date font too thin and wrong font for an IWC, Solution a correct DW but this will not be easy to get i dont think, but it will at least fit the movement Lume not great, Solution relume it! AR is not great but clear, i could maybe live with this if it was not for the fact that i Visit Uwe every few weeks and i can simply drop it of for his ausome AR so that will proberbly get done as well Strap is shit, Solution fit a Bob IWC Aviator strap, Done I am looking into a couple of options right now as this is a watch that i think i may like to franken a bit.

poor-horologist Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 Does the A-2892 movement in this rep come with the top-quality glucydur balance (3 hour-glass arms) rather than the nickel-gilt one (4 straight-sided spokes) found on most ETA's (2824 AND 2892) ? If you could please post some photos with balance stopped that would be great! It looks like Trusty's does, but hard to tell with the others. Also, is the lume poor on all the versions? Josh has confirmed both his versions come with magnetic shield now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
