Excuse me for the newbie question but I'm assuming ichs means incorrect hand stack? I have one of the wonderful CHS versions that keep breaking all the time.

I guess they've gone back to the original movement. It's super annoying because CHS is such a huge tell for this watch. I was hoping they had figured it out like they have with the Daytona and the 4130.

Anyway, excuse the question that any advice would be useful...

Check the usual sources; chrono24, eBay, maybe even the watch parts section here. Good luck though and expect to pay big if one comes up for sale. Plus, you will need to compete with me :p

It’s not really about fooling others or judging a rep by whether “others” will notice....Rep connoisseur members who look at their watches will see the flaw themselves and it will bother them. I can understand that. Although ICHS doesn’t bother me.

ICHS doesn't bother me either. I would much rather have that than worry about how I have to set the time or the 24 hour hand or wind the watch. I've learned that with reps we're lucky to have one that works, so as long as that threshold is met I can handle a few inevitable flaws.

Hey, that would be great! What is the source of that info? Do you now what the best blnr is at the moment and key flaws - did not find any details about that here. Thx

Here's my batman, the last CHS noob, with smoke - modded insert, and a gen crystal.

I think it looks amazing.
