astonjenks Posted February 5, 2014 Report Posted February 5, 2014 Guys This arrived yesterday from a great member in the US (6 days to the UK, no shipping issues and in a HUGE box)! Anyway, I took off my Baron DSSD and tried her on, wow, she is very light and very comfy to say the least. The finish of the case is really quite stunning and I would suggest a Carbon case is something everyone should try. As always, I set about giving her a full clean and polish and was very pleasantly surprised to see that the Carbon case responded very well to a little polish and gives a lovely 'sheen' finish that looks really nice. I took the attached to share this with you for those who was unsure what they could, or could not do with the Carbon case. All in all a great addition that due to having two crowns feels ok size wise. Regards AJ
Liberacee Posted February 5, 2014 Report Posted February 5, 2014 Looks great AJ, I have to say it's ;surprisingly ; the most comfortable piece I own, seems to have responded well to some elbow grease. Wear it in good health, and welcome to the carbon club! Spenny-
nikki6 Posted February 5, 2014 Report Posted February 5, 2014 What did you use to shine her up AJ?! Oh and you'll need a donerix sharkskin strap for it, my girl says it follows the fold flows in the case really nicely!! Sixx.
astonjenks Posted February 5, 2014 Author Report Posted February 5, 2014 Stuart I used (sparingly) Autosol metal polish, however suspect any for of fine polish would do. I'm chasing a gen strap currently! Best regards AJ
Magic Posted February 5, 2014 Report Posted February 5, 2014 Thnx! For sharing! I was looking for this on the forum and your willing to share ;-) is this V3? Verstuurd vanaf mijn GT-I9505 met Tapatalk
astonjenks Posted February 5, 2014 Author Report Posted February 5, 2014 Thanks guys I do not know which version this is in truth, all I know is that all lines up, everything works really well and it's a really fine watch. AJ
Magic Posted February 5, 2014 Report Posted February 5, 2014 I think it's H-fac ;-) Verstuurd vanaf mijn GT-I9505 met Tapatalk
sputim Posted February 5, 2014 Report Posted February 5, 2014 What an awesome watch! Will be my next purchase..hope h-factory will correct the yellow number issue since the v3 is on the expensive side for me.
fraggle42 Posted February 5, 2014 Report Posted February 5, 2014 I've seen lots of pictures of these, members watches and on TD sites and most of the time I can see what appear to be faults in the cases - little parts where the carbon hasn't flowed into, small holes or gaps, mostly right near the lugs (which'd make sense - the furthest parts). This one looks perfect, and the sheen really makes it pop, especially on todays wristies thread. I shall have to keep an eye on your For Sale threads Mr AJ, if a Thames Valley GTG doesn't happen before hand!
astonjenks Posted February 5, 2014 Author Report Posted February 5, 2014 Say the word Richard and I will send it to you to try! AJ
fraggle42 Posted February 5, 2014 Report Posted February 5, 2014 Word! Lets swap the Aviator and the AP for a couple of weeks, I think you've got virtually the same sized wrist as me so we shouldn't have to adjust bracelets I think? Did that UPO fit you OK? That was sized for me. I do have a spare link for the Aviator that I'll send anyway.
