I ordered from Lucy and rejected the first one due to the indexes being off, now looks like the watch is out of stock and I'm looking at a long wait. damn.

Just got mine, but it arrived missing one of the clasp spring bars. Does anyone know the correct size I need to buy?

Thanks in advance

Hi seems you recieved a not very well cared for example.
1. yes, 3 oclock marker is tilted
2. the right "1" of the 11 oclock numbers is in a lower position than the left "1" and they are not parallel to each other
3. the "1" at 12 oclock numbers is tilted a little to the right an a bit higher than the "2".

You will see it when watch on wrist.

They all have slightly crooked markers. My 12 and 6 are slightly off. So long as the two ones in 11 are aligned, I think you are good to go.

If Im ever asked (and Im not) I simply put on my smug face and tell them its a hand crafted watch and its part of the unique character.

Any idea if the crooked markes could be corrected? are the just glued on the dial or do the also have little pins that go into holes of the dial?
The idea with the handmade and unique character of the watch is a good way to go ;)

Can anyone let me know if the movement is engraved or not? Anyone have caseback shots to share ?

Engraved rotor. Printed elsewhere, I believe.

It’s a 5167, 40mm

Correct - this shouöd be a 5167 40mm - as also the dial has "printed" indexes. The 5168 dials have stick indexes.
But curious the 5167RG model should have a brwon tropical rubber strap - right?!

Hi there,

in the meantime, has anyone found an aftermarket strap that matches the green gen strap in color?

Alternatively does anyone happen to have a suitable source for a gen strap?

cheers!

Tempomaterials.com has decent colors but the pattern is different vs gen
