Recommended Posts

Don't you just love it when your watchmaker emails you and says "this one really came out great"! I think I agree!

 

Vac modded:

  • lume (wow)
  • AR
  • Water-proofing
  • ETA 2836 slow beat movement to match gen

Eric Hamilton killer diver strap!

 

 

I'm really happy with this one, might keep her!

Wow, you should really keep that Diver.

You won't find a better one except the gen.

A beauty of a watch. Well done. I would like to do these mods as well to my V6.

 

 

The dominating strap looks great as well and yes it takes away the attention fro the watch itself . Maybe SAFIANO (PRADA) is a better strap alternative to rubber.

Estimates- 400 watch, 275 ETA 2836-2 with slow beat mod, 150 AR, 175 lume, 40 waterproofing, 200 Hamilton strap.

 

This is my first low beat and I'm really impressed, it's right on the money of COSC.

Vac did. Impressive accuracy and it has run for over 2 full days so far after a full wind.

Isn't the Gen movement AP in house made? Calibre 3120? Didn't think it is built on the 2836.

 

Great looking watch.

 

Edit: nevermind, think you meant Gen Eta, not Gen 3120.

I think so as well. I'm gonna get a brown "Safari" made for my Panda as an experiment.
