Hi guys. I was searching through new items and found these:

It looks like there is new lettering for Portuguese dials comming. If you look closer at the numbers 2, 4, and 0, they look more accurate than on previous versions. Maybe it it's just me, but i feel that they look bit thicker than they should be.

Anyways, I hope to see this lettering on 3714. Maybe this will finaly persuade me to buy them

And there is also a next visible change. Look at the crown. The side features Probus Scafusia sign as well as it is thinner from top view.

What do you think?

Well, if the lettering on 3714 is improved, it would just be a nice dial. But the movement with sec@6 will still be a piece of [censored] and [censored] unreliable.

That said, forget the 3714, unless you can manage to get a gen movt from concepta.

Good luck!

Best, J

I guess i have to upgrade to platinum again, because I can not write [censored], [censored], and [censored]. All I can see is a censored [censored].

Hmmm...

Forget about it, man. The watch isn't worth it. The movement may be good but more often than not it's just total cr@p.

Oh yeah. The problem with sec@6 is the reason why i did not purchase them yet. There is voice in me that says: buy gen 3714-82 or 3714-38 or let it be... And it is also the reason why my first rep was Ulysse Nardin Maxi Marine Diver Chronograph RG/BK But i know for sure, that gen 3714 will be my personal gift to me for reaching advocate's status. 2 years estimate....

If you manage to get a genuine movement you will still have to do some mods to the case, otherwise it won't fit. Go gen or buy 100 replica movements instead and just toss them away when they are broken.
