I didn't. My watchmaker did. Look for Francisco's thread on this mod. It's a tough mod, but one that is really worth it if sunken DWs ruin your day...

Thanks mate! :)

Yes, it's a beauty with the raised DW and the lume job. Definitely a keeper and a wearer now. It looks stunning on a leather strap. You know, I can't remember if I got it serviced too. I think so. My watchmaker worked on 6 watches of mine last week so I kind of forgot what watch got what... lol!!

If I decide to part from it, you'll be the first one to know.

Say hi to my PAM and tell her I miss her... :roo:

Great review and it helped me ALOT since I was interested in this model. I have a BCE on its way. May I ask where this model came from? Thank you.

Hey there, glad it was useful! :) This one came from perfect clones. Not one of our recommended sellers... but he was the first one to get them and he actually offers a pretty good service. Now you can pretty much get it from anyone.

Thank you Rooster. I saw some beautiful versions from TimeShop. HIs photography of the models are awesome. I have a different opinion about this watch, I think it's a badass piece...I really dig it.
