GingerApple 7,288 Posted February 27, 2019 The inside of the clasp? Seriously? 'And in GB's house, not a single fuck was given....' Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FoxWilde 155 Posted February 27, 2019 Good upgrades, but I want a movement whose spring and bridge are in the right position as gen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kleen™ 45 Posted February 27, 2019 Nobody’s gonna notice the clasp engraving...the appalling misalignment of said same, however...jeeebusss: Bend over to pick up a quarter, while the bills are flying right past you... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

On the bracelet, getting the clasp, links, and SELs better is one step forward. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
goldrolexdaydate 0 Posted March 29, 2019 The AP logo at 12 is still too spaced out with weird glue/paint in the middle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anyways, still waiting for a better AP movement. ZFs pretty much nailed the Patek movement for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

goldrolexdaydate 0 Posted March 30, 2019 (edited) The A and P are much closer together on the gen though, look at the JF here. 4th photo Edited March 30, 2019 by goldrolexdaydate Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GingerApple 7,288 Posted March 30, 2019 You're absolutely right to be fair. The Gen lume looks perhaps .2mm wide whereas the Rep has got to be at least .4mm. Maths isn't my strong point, but that's double!!! Sloppy by JF. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sloppy by JF. you wouldn’t even need the gen dial side by side to be able to tell the logo is slightly off. I think it’s ok to be picky with such details when these reps are going for almost 500 USD, no need for your sarcasm. I’d say the logo flaw is even more noticeable than a bad coronet on a Rolex rep, and people always point those out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's okay to be picky about anything - if it bothers you personally, then it's a big deal! But if you're that picky, maybe Gen is the only thing that will satisfy you. These things always have flaws, it's the nature of the beast. Anyway, don't take my sarcasm too seriously. My wife pays no attention to me, so I don't see why a stranger on an internet forum should. Good luck of your quest for perfection. Genuinely. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ARF is working on a clone SH3187 GMT CHS movement, which will see soon. The mythical 3186/7 clone movement. It's beyond me what's taking so long. They already have the base movement perfected in the SH3135. There's only a handful of parts that are different to make it into a GMT movement. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
