geo1nah2a Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 (edited) I am in Font should be a bit thinner, but I am sure You can get it correct by production date. Stretched target: Get the maker to trim those CG's before the PVD process. Once PVD is applied, no case mod can be applied.

geo1nah2a Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 If the CG is not doable, maybe You can start from the current GMTiic and go for that Pro Hunter? discoverprohunter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PureTime Posted August 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 I cant purchase the current GMT2c and do the PVD because the bezel cannot be removed easily. But we would have to find some means to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
looseends Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 I'm very interested in this. I am already looking into getting a black/PVD watch. What's the time frame for availability? I'd like a PVD SS bracelet, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mickey Padge Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 Quote from RWI: thanks for the tips but I think the maker just PVD the current case so the crosn guard and pearl will be the same... i will start taking reservation of serial numbers when the watch is actually released. and I wll ask the factory if this is possible to reserve numbers. will post the pics of the case when the factory give them to me.

BigCrown Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 I am a huge fan of the Pro-Hunter line, but with the sinking dollar, they do not make financial sense. Please count me in for one! I also urge you to consider the Double Red Sea Dweller pro hunter because it will most likely be thought of as the most collectible. Also, the 1:1 HK SeaDwellers are --- SUPER!!!! (they nailed the case and bezel for once) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest London luke Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 whats the cost ? if the crown Guards are perfect , and the PVD good then i would buy a few Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chefcook Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 I'd take one - does not matter how the case is as long as the case back and the dial are good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest carlsbadrolex Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 So if they are claiming to ONLY make 100 what is the cost going to be? Seems to me that alot will go in to making them for them only to sell 100. I dont want this to turn in to another $750 rep! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
