Watchman3 Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 Like what you're doing Falco, look forward to the finished product. Imortant attributes for me are (1) accurate case size (2) drilled-out lugs (3) quality dial w/good lume (4) correct bezel and bez insert (5) eta mvt.

dieselpower Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 I have always said I wouldn't have a sub. Too common, no class, etc etc. I have read this epic thread with interest and admiration for the knowledge contained herein. I know precious little about subs. COUNT ME IN!

Pugwash Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 That list is huge, I don't think there's anything to be gained by posting the whole thing each time. What about just saying 'add me' or 'remove me' and having someone edit the list? Otherwise it'll become a nightmare, believe me. All it takes is for two people to reply at the same sort of time and you'll have a fork: two lists, with different people as the last entry.

r11co Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 r11co-Questionable? Excuse me.

SportsterRider Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 Awesome news!! SR Ok people we are cleared for takeoff! Silix: "Sorry for not speaking early. I was busy with rushing orders before the long holiday. I have just posted on the poll, and we will do the rerun. It will take sometime, but I will keep posted. We will start with asian 17 automatic, and several of them, which share the same case. Only the serial number between teh lugs causing some problem to the idea of sharing case. Will try to make correct serial numbers for each type of them. Nice day." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silix Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 I have one of these from silix with asian movement. Very nice, except no holes in the case. Hopefully, he will fix that. Otherwise, it's great. Yes, this error will be corrected. We will start with asian 17J automatic on these vintage reps, and if possible, work all the way up. Honestly, my ultimate goal is to make a really good 1:1 Sub. :-) We need to gain confidence in these factories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silix Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 I am very much encouraged by ur friends here.

It could be a little slow, coz the original maker of these vintage rep has gone out of business, so we may have to start fresh. I will keep u guys posted. Thx a lot. Happy Chinese New Year!

Starting afresh is not a bad way to do this especialy with the experts that we have here, Can some of our experts on the is one (i am not one) point out a couple of salient points that have to be right from the ground up and cant be changed later, for example 1.

Jetsons Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 Honestly, my ultimate goal is to make a really good 1:1 Sub. :-) We need to gain confidence in these factories. J and A, if you could build a "really good 1:1 Sub", you may need more than one factory to fill the demand. I hope you guys can do this as the Sub could sure use the attention many of the latest clones have received. Ditto for the Sea-Dweller! I agree, starting fresh is good. I'm sure we will do our part to help in any way we can. Happy Chinese New Year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
