NYCreplica Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 I really want to buy it, but for some reason I have a strong feeling that a v2/update will come out within a few weeks (same as 111N, "Best Edition Updated with Singled Sided AR Crystal, Matching lume on dial and hands and improved CG with sharp inner arches and flush lever pin") 1. Can anybody confirm/deny? 2. If I do decide to pull the trigger on v1, other then lume, and ar removal what other mods can be applied to it? 3. Asian/Swiss - in general I always buy asian, but because this my first GMT, and I know that the "Swiss" is modified asian for the GMT, is it worth an extra $90. I honestly don't care about an extra $90 I just want to know if it is better. THANKS!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
its_urabus Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 the current 029m is damn good. the lume, as discussed in another recent thread, is not off as much as thought. it is not the best of colors, but I would not say its inaccurate. I got a swiss, but just because I get swiss if its an option. i would go over the QC pics very very closely. I had to go through 4 watches before I got one that was perfect. the dealer had no issue making me happy. I would go for V1. there will surely be a V2, always is. but whos to say it will be better than V1? good luck and post pics when you finally decide.

NYCreplica Posted February 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 Great answer, I appreciate sharing your knowledge. Why did you have to go through so many watches, can you please enlighten me what to look for? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klocklind1 Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 I have had a conversation with one that has both the genuine AND the rep and it VERY minor difference regarding the lumecolor on it! It is only in cloudy daylight that the repdial is a little ( just a little!) more limeish than the genuine! In a sunny day it is the same color on the lume So to make a new V2 would be just a little more different lumecolor and maybe a little less "fat" "9" So my conclusion is that the factory will not make a V2 but You NEVER know in the repworld BUT I like the lume- color that Vac and The Zigmeister has done on the 029M rep MORE than the original repdial so it is up to You which one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
its_urabus Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 @klock, you don't they will make a "super duper 1:1 029M v2 made with with dissected original by swiss trained italian speaking watchmakers" version? I too like the zig/vac lume color better. I got lucky and my "9" is not as fat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 I wouldn't hold out for a V2. I don't think we will see one anytime soon. V1 sold well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
