ghost Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 Hi everybody, i'm new here, but have been trawling the board and trying to learn abt all this stuff...man it's a whole new world here! With the lingo, abbreviations...oh man, is it hard to keep up. If only there was a glossary. But i digress, i'm actually writing to ask if the seniors here can point me in the right direction towards the best EOD Rep? Been researching the eurotime MBK MBW (whatever that means/ stands for), vs the Puretime one.... Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b16a2 Posted September 13, 2008 Report Share Posted September 13, 2008 Well there were rumours of a seconds at 12 version being released so it may be worth waiting a bit longer to see if that is released. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the reply bro! Do you mean the current reps aren't that faithful to the original? Puretime's EOD is isans the secs @ 12? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dadog13 Posted September 13, 2008 Report Share Posted September 13, 2008 all EoD's that are currently available have the running seconds at 9...there are just two different versions from Puretime...one with the seconds subdial at 9 and one with seconds subdial at 12 - but both of these versions have the running seconds at 9... all the above versions have been released before the movement with running sec at 12 was released...and this is why there is no still dial and case done for the EoD with running sec at 12 - but it should be done as one of the members told you there are a couple of pictorials of both versions on the forum...you should use the serach function and find them...there is a pictorial done by Uncle Jay who is a happy owner of the genuine AP EoD and he did some comparison pics - gen vs. rep... I have the MBW/MBK version and I am happy with it...there are a couple of flaws...such as wrong positions of the subdials due to inappropriate mvt...running sec at 9...wrong caseback - it doesn't have engraved the serial number (solved on Puretimes edition), it doesnt have the marker above the 12h subdial...some wrong writings on the tachymeter scale...everything else is pretty well done...

bosk Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 I can understand the need for three considering changing the straps of these babies take awhile. Actually, its not so hard with practice but u always run the risk of scratching the case....getting 3 seems the proper solution! -bosk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MADRED7 Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 Yes you are right ... strap change is a pain for these babies...unfortunately I do have more strap options than EoD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
