hanswurst Posted May 27, 2006 Report Share Posted May 27, 2006 (edited) I really love the F.A. Jones, but for a watch with a seethrough caseback, the movement is just too plain. Maybe there is someone on the forum who got some information on whether there will be improved generaions of this watch in the future. My rep "nerdism" doesn't go as far as to request a 1:1 copy of the original movement, but a little more decoration in form of engravings would be nice. Apart from that... I definitely need one! Thanks in advance! Edited May 27, 2006 by hanswurst Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance! I'm in the process of upgrading the movements in one of mine. It isn't going to look like the gen but it will look much better. I wish someone would copy the gen movement but it is so unique that I don't see it happening. Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NO POBLEM that´s life thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
