Sweet Red ! Can you fit Gen doom crystal of 1680 on this baby. What about the bazel is it non clickable ? Is it push down like Gen if not is it doable? How long it take to build something like this ?

Cheers :)

For me my most expensive rep is this one, head cost me 480€ (it has a double AR treatment) + rubber strap 50€ + Ti buckle 70€

Which makes it around 600€ and frankly i don't regret anything ! It's so beautiful !

Does having to pay 1.5 times the price count? I had a recent case of a watch lost on arrival with a TD (who's no longer a TD) and after a prolonged dispute agreed to pay 50% towards a replacement. So all-in my Navitimer 01 cost me $571 (including shipping). No complaints though - its a thing of beauty!

So i would say, if you like it go for it. $800 certainly better than the $30K for the gen.

 

Dear Left Coast Guy, it's actually more like $60K for the gen.

 

 

 

Thanks for the comment mate. I really appreciate it. I am definitely making the purchase.

 

Dear Bandido, congrats on the purchase, I have recently done the purchase for the LBJ couple of months ago. Got it from PC. To be honest, the only issue you have to hold your breath for on paying this much, is the movement. After extensive research on this useful forum, I realized that the movement is a hit or miss kinda situation. as some had called it a ticking bomb. From previous purchase for another AP, with same movement seconds @12, the seconds were stuttering and it was very obvious when you look at the watch (not pretty at all), still trying to find a way to reach Domi to perhaps help me with this issue (not successful to find his contact). so when I decided to buy the LBJ, I was really really nervous that I will still have issues with the movement, and I was holding my breath the whole time until I received it, and checked it and thankfully, this one wasn't stuttering, and everything was good.

My point is, paying this much for the watch doesn't mean that you will receive it without any issues, just a head's up, as when issues come up, you will need to spend a bit more on it to have it resolved, just like what I will be doing with my AP Survivor that I paid $700, and the stuttering situation. :(

 

All in all, wear it in good health.

Thanks Godfathar. Yes I just hope am lucky this time. I will let you know. I think mine is getting delivered in couple of days. I'll let you know if there's any issues. The most painful part is ordering from China and one pops up in M2M UK and nobody is even buying it. I should have waited I think. Anyway.... It's all good.

Thanks once again.
