Very nice, congrats.

 

What do you think of the dial print ? Always thought it looked a bit sloppy and weak on these.

Maybe at 250%... On the wrist, no issue at all!

You do mean double AR from Profsteve and SSteal managed to remove and assemble the crystal without ruining the watch?

I mean I am happy with the results! That counts not the path to this stunning goal! I will keep out of this "issue" that is going on with STEEL, as I have no negative input into... just a great result!

It's a very special beauty, great idea to have the gen strap and clasp.

 

Thanks for sharing this.

Final damage:

 

- watch 888 USD incl. transport to Holland via triangle = 805€

- gen clasp = 440€

- gen santoni strap = 395€

- double AR with rotor service 225€ plus postage 20€ = 245€

 

Total = 1885€ = 2060USD.... damn thats a lot! Is so easy when it is paid in smaller parts!

What is the "double AR with rotor service"?

 

Also, is this the unit available from TDs? Thanks...

The standard AR was single and poor, the rotor was very noisy, now it is 30% less!

Interesting. So there are repair services that will work on these? Does anyone know of one in the U.S.?
