jsmith11 Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 Welp here it is. The ultimate 111h from Angus with the swiss movt. I am a noob to the PAMs so please tell what you think. I waited for the swiss movt to get back in stock. My impressions are the watch is awesome, simple, elegant lots of character. One thing is the strap it comes with is junk, looks rubber like. Screams rep. I will have to shop for some better straps in the next couple days. Ok let me know what you think.... Thanks guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsmith11 Posted January 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 Wait a minute is there supposed to be an "L SWISS L" below the six on this watch????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victoria Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 Wait a minute is there supposed to be an "L SWISS L" below the six on this watch????? Whoa, yes, there is...NOW DON'T GET UPSET, JSMITH. I know what with the previous Breit problem, you must be, "this is just not my hobby!", but it happened to me too. First 6 reps, all with probs. Angus will fix it. Straps: hxxp://www.network54.com/Forum/353393/ http://timeconnection.biz/page/timeco/CTGY/Special And of course, you can get a custom-made one by any of the forum strapmakers: V, FxrAndy, xlr8tn, Savage, Tootall.

DuDro Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 Wow! That's the first one that I've seen with the printing under the "6"! I like the CG and crown...Let us know what you decide to about the dial... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsmith11 Posted January 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 @Victoria..... yup this is just amazing, my first 2 reps both have problems and this was after a looooooooooooong wait with Angus. Just so disgusted right now. Waiting to hear back from him. I wonder if he can just send me a new dial and someone around me can swap it out? Dudro.... ya i like the look of it just disappointed yet again buy another messed up rep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deltatahoe Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 ummm....maybe it is just my computer monitor, but the lume on the hands looks white, whereas the lume on the dial looks greenish......the white lume on the hands looks completely off to me.... anyone else seeing this? deltatahoe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victoria Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 anyone else seeing this? Yep. I thought it might be the computer, but there is a distinct creampuff beigeness to the dial. I've said this before, but it's like the factories think they can slip one past us. We're not stupid, for chrissakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsmith11 Posted January 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 Unreal you guys are right. I am so fed up and disgusted. How do dealers allow these watches to go out of their production in this shape? Are they blind? Do they not care? I mean seriously what is the deal?????? Absolutely unacceptable don't you agree????

deltatahoe Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 yeah....it's pretty frustrating.... one quick question -- is angus' ultimate 111h supposed to have superlume? if so, it would be bizarre for them to use c1 (white) on the hands and c3 (green) on the dial....plus, c1 (white) doesn't shine as bright as c3 (green)..... you might check real quick and see how luminous the dial & hands are compared to each other..... deltatahoe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
confused69u Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 WOW, thats a huge messup... it kinda makes you question the reps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lello Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 If the watch was supposed to come superlumed, I would ship it back right away, asking also for a compensation as a refund for this bad service..., maybe an extra strap, or box etc... If the lume sould be re done, there's no point to be upset about the white hands and in the meanwhile you send away the under dial and hands for relume, send back the upper dial to the seller for a replacement with L swiss made L.

jsmith11 Posted January 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 Well I just hope Angus will replace the watch all together. I would expect him to make me the watch I want while I am shipping this junk back to him. Hopefully he works with me. This is ridiculous!

poopypants Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 WHOA! ULTIMATE! 1:1! EXACT! PERFECT! SUPER! are we done putting these titles on every model?!?!?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babola Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 Hands are not factory lumed in C1. Both dial and hands are lumed in C3, but dial indices look darker (more beige/cream color) because sandwich dial makers don't apply the paint undercoat for the lume, so the base brass metal color shows thru. cheers, babola Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

godzilla Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 Man, I just ordered one from angus less than a week ago. I hope it doesn't have this problem. I will update when I receive mine then. BTW, so what r u planning to do with it? is he willing to refund the watch? and how long did u wait after ordered 'til it arrived? I am really curious for I might end up having the same problem. This is terrible. Good luck for you man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After reading this thread I sent him an email asking him to check my watch. Here is his reply: "I will definately check it, it was an accident, I will take care of him! I believe this wont happen again. Regarding the lume color, because the dial is relumed and the hands are lumed and the color will be a very slightly different, as my watch smith is not as skilful as the modders on the board. I will check yours for sure!" I will report back when I receive mine!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
