M5Man Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 I have also posted this in the upgrades section but I figure more people look at this fourm. BTW - I tried searches and cant find anything.... I have a 187 en route from EL, should be here shortly. What are the main shortfalls on this watch? Does it need lume? AR coating? Is there a datewheel depth adjustment available? How badly does it need a crownguard or a crown? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Watchmeister Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 "Tritium" lume is a big improvement. That is all you can do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M5Man Posted November 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 "Tritium" lume is a big improvement. That is all you can do. Awesome - thanks kruzer. I guess I'll do the relume and try and find someone to do the AR as mine will have none. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zuppy51 Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 Awesome - thanks kruzer. I guess I'll do the relume and try and find someone to do the AR as mine will have none. I would definatley go over the watch with a fine tooth comb. When I received mine, the marker at 12:00 was actually dented. Also the brushed finish was not consistent. Since receiving it, the date wheel stopped turning automatically, I have to manually move it forward.... Other than that it's been great!

flavor flav Posted November 17, 2006 Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 wear it out of the box! clean it up good with a toothbrush and hot dishsoap and water. get the crystal AR done and you have a winner! only your arm will need mods to wear it. try curling with 80lb dumbells for at least two weeks prior to wearing it and eat a bunch of creatin and whey protien. drinking red bull helps with the prep as well it's awesome!
