Nanuq Posted June 18, 2016 Report Share Posted June 18, 2016 It's not that accurate but it pushes the right buttons for me. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sogeha Posted June 18, 2016 Report Share Posted June 18, 2016 Yes me too. It's a classic example of a watch I don't like enough to pay the gen price for but do like enough to by the rep. Strangely I get as obsessive as everyone else here about accuracy on vintage builds, but I don't give a damn about the fact that this only bears a passing resemblance to the gen. Enjoy your watch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanuq Posted June 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2016 Yes, how strange is that?! I spent megabucks on my Big Gonzo 6538 build to get it excruciatingly close to perfect. This one? The crystal falls out if I hit it against something. And I find it hilarious! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackflash Posted June 18, 2016 Report Share Posted June 18, 2016 One of my personal favourites too. It's a pity the rep has so many irrevocable flaws, however I've been tempted more often than once to pick one up. It's a nice watch in its own right.

ck5533 Posted July 17, 2016 Report Share Posted July 17, 2016 I've been searching for a decent one with gen specs for many years and am disappointed to learn they are no longer in production due to whatever reasons, god knows. However, recently I contacted Yuki about it (as they did offer them before) and he told me that they didn't have plans for it. I'm sure, if we get enough interest, someone out there is willing to heat up the production again. Rep is accepting 29mm dial whereas gen is taking 27mm. 2mm there is a lot of differences considering if you try to close the gap. On the contrary, the opening can be widen simply by putting it on the milling machine. keep dreaming. In the worst case scenario, pick up a rep and call it a day.
