Received the Schumi today through the efficient and friendly team surrounding psychospike.
In some ways, what we have here is a watch stylistically between Grey Themes ROO and Grand Prix series (I think the pushers/guards are exactly the same on GP), with none of the problems with the FC parts or side-cars. Schumi will be, like GP, a nice inflatable franchise for rep factories as they push the basic design through RG and Plat editions, like the GP franchise did, and we will all be trapped in this "Hotel Cali" thread for probably another 6 months anticipating the release of the "next 2 Schumis." What you get with the Ti Schumi is a watch with the quality of a modified Gp (maybe 75% modified) without the hassle of doing those GP mods yourself. GP base watch is much, much inferior to where Schumi gets you out of the box. The Schumi still desperately needs an 2XAR crystal, IMO, as the surface reflection is a little harsh, but the other parts will probably not need much modding if you are not a total obsessive. You could re-sand-blast. some of the Ti parts (Pusher guards, case back, crown, etc.) for a coarser texture more true to gen. I will be taking the watch apart in coming days to test certain aspects of its hardware, and to nudge that Xtal out to replace with something far, far better, in gen league of Xtals, with 2XAR from a supplier far removed from our usual supply references. I will be curious to test the hardness of the screws and nuts, etc. and to see the construction of the dial, but to all those on the fence, the slaughterer says: buy the Schumi. Ok, the dial is far too dark (darker than Grey Themes V1 and V2), but the watch is a stunning rep. PS the rep rubber strap is softer than an OEM 44m strap: a major advance in replication of rubber straps.

Glad you got yours bud! I was thinking the same thing about the pushers! Def need to upgrade those!

In agreement. Also agree regarding the rubber strap, this one is spot on and v.close to gen.

One request, would you mind taking pics and creating a new thread showing the breakdown of the Schumi, will be interesting! have fun.

 

[slaughterer62]

Yes, ok, I will do a Schumi breakdown, probably over weekend. Ubforuntately, I currently have about 4 watches broken down, and I need to reassemble them beforehand though.

One note about the rubber, I have the XS and the OEM (J12) rubber. They are identical in softness, but the J12 fac one has a better texture definition.

 

[slaughterer62]

I compared the rep rubber with gen rubber, both 44mm straps. The rep rubber is softer than the gen rubber strap. I do not know if this will impact durability. But the rep is more comfortable as a result.

^ Is that the Gray strap right? Anyone have a picture comparing the colour of the gray rubber to the black rubber?

 

[Micasol]

Hum, this shumi could be a nice modded, franken or even genestein project,

 

[guru]

There is never just one Schumi in your life.

Yes, agree, I may order another one and modd it, movement, AR, lume and maybe pushers, when done, sell the one I have, can't be without it. I had about 25 APs, still have 15, but this is the best.I do not have a GP, so let us wait until that arrives
