I like the small touch of gold on the dial. Discuss.

here's a interesting press release i found. '2' signifies 2nd exhibition

"second installment of unprecedented magnitude, TEMPUS – The Temple of Time has assembled close to double the number of exhibitors, compared to its inaugural show in 2004 – TEMPUS..."

http://www.thehourglass.com/tempus/...ime_Press_Conference_Press_Release_060607.pdf

$268 plus shipping to start.

from front/outside: {solution}
-wrong DW colour & font {2geek DW}
-markers should be darker (somewhere between black and metallic black?) {Domi}
-Crystal should be thicker. {TX or Mikey Crystal}
-Clasp wrong coloured screws {Loosetime or self mod}

from rear:
-rotor wrong bearing {Francisco or source a V2 rotor}
-missing H on bridge {Loosetime, Francisco or I may have a solution next year}
-missing regulator on mvt. {Francisco or self mod}

ALL of the flaws are fixable. Just need to buy the parts and/or send to a modder.

Here is a link to buy the correct datewheel from Taka!

I love the Tempus watches, hopefully I'll be able to afford the Bigger Bang Tempus one day, one of my favorite watches. For those that haven't seen the TAG Heuer Tempus, it's pretty awesome. That was my grail watch, only 10 ever made.

360,000bph. It sounds awesome when the chronograph is enabled. Only chrono with a smoother seconds hand would be the Seiko Spring Drives.

they're very nice watches, the rg 2 is a pretty cool touch, and hell nobody knows
about it being x/50 anyways right?

I believe that's called the Tempus All Black, named after the Tempus watch fair in Singapore. Apparently the fair is second in size only to Baselworld.

The watch itself was produced as you mentioned in a very limited run of 50 pieces.

Personally, I love the lone gold accent. I think it adds a striking accent to an otherwise "stealthy" watch.

By the way, Sead has the V1 version of the Tempus on for $249 at the moment!

damn, SOOOO tempting!
I've held off buying any sort of watch for a whole month......must hold on longer....

waiting for the new ROO's to come out but I keep looking at this Tempus and Dutchy's BB RG......ugh

I LOVE this version. The RG accent relly sets off the contrast between it and the rest of the watch. Classy too, since it's not an "obvious" part of the piece to make RG. I'm trying to resist picking this up and you guys aren't helping!

Nice watch in person too.. if you're digging the AP's Ian than this would be an easy transition.. bigger diameter but a little thinner.

TX sent me a new crystal from the batch that came out with the bad AR and it is AWESOME! I couldn't ask for a better looking crystal.

Thanks JC, way to push me over to the edge

Your BB still is the best around I've seen to date!
