Are you after the 026 re-issue? If so, the one from Puretime is a sausage dial, not sandwich and says "L Swiss L" and should be "L Swiss Made L". The PVD is not great, the watch should have been bead blasted prior to coating and wasn't. The crownguard is crap, it's just a normal rep CG that has been flipped upside down.

However, replace the caseback with a closed one and it wouldn't be a bad rendition of the original 026B. A crownguard update would still be necessary.

Thanks, wat. I owe it all to enzo, babola and BigBadBrad. Sadly all of them are off to greener pastures. They are sorely missed here at RWI.
