Make this one and some flaws will be gone easily and money will go to you

I have asked several times on the « get it repped » threads but Angus didn’t seem to think any factory would be interested

Love this watch

Can someone find a youku vid? I can't seem to find any uploads about this release yet. I want to see it in video before I pull the trigger.

Yeah, copying that one is a no brainer as it's hard to mess up. All they need is to get the size right and it's a super rep.

Alright I ordered the blue dial. My TD told me that GRF isn't making the brown strap right now, and this model is still on pre-order. I'll update when I have it in hand!

Waiting for that!

Any news? How are the QC....... Is the dial color okay?

Yeah, QC arrived yesterday, but I'm having issues with some misaligned markers (11 and 12 are crooked/not lined up), otherwise I would share the pics. Dial looks great. Thickness is 12.1mm, some vids I've seen are 12.0mm, and I believe Tim (my TD) measures it with the plastic still on.

Edit: Here are two vids:

Oh i see. The gen is 11mm, so 12-12,1mm is definitely acceptable.

Thanks for the vids. It's looking great. The dial color looks spot on. I really like this model and need a pilot watch in my collection. I just don't like the notion of the two non-functioning buttons and the GMT hand can't be set. I am looking forward to your review though :D

Is the black dial version a rep of this fantastic 5524T Limited edition titanium version? majwilliams0308

WOW that one looks amazing.

I do not think that the black version is a rep of this limited edition... it is the first attempt, so I think they are playing with the colors, they have done the same with the first attempts of other models

Makes sense... Wish they'd make that one. It's a gorgeous dial!

I accepted QC on this bad boy and it should be here this week:

Bigger news though: GRF released a brown strap for this watch finally. I just paid for it and my TD is ordering it.
