theflyingdutchman Posted April 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 (edited) Awesome review, thanks for taking the time to put it together Have you any mods planned for the watch? Yes, just the one: a steal case back (like below)...so does any body have one lying around (no screws needed!) Please offer to me.....MERCI!

Please offer to me.....MERCI! I have to admit, I think I'd personally be tempted to keep the current one in place. It might not be like gen, but, at least it matches with the rest of the case I think fitting a plain steel case would look really out of place because of the difference is color... Best of luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RLudlowe Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 A: nobody knows HUBLOT! So true - The usual exchange goes: What kind of watch is that? Hublot Yeah, well you suck, too - but what kind of watch is that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jot9011 Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 Not a bad color match....but that "COLUMN WHEEL" branding on the dial just kills it. WTF? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Read this and you will understand! http://forums.timezone.com/index.php...=4301616&rid=0 It mentions that the production model doesn't have the "Column Wheel" on the face.............. I guess kind of what Panerai did with the California, putting it on the dial for the prototype, then taking it off on the production model...................

I wear the watch face up...... Well, A and B are certainly true, and yes, C is true in the way a watch is worn, but, if 'a civilian' was to ask about your watch, and you passed it over, if I was that civilian, I would immediately wonder why the case back did not match the rest of the case finish. Not saying I'd then ask "Is this real??!!" because I wouldn't really know better, but I'd certainly notice a difference in color and be curious as to why that was That said, it's your watch, so your choice what you do with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
