Just read this thread and each upgrade you've made takes it to another level!

Wear in good health.

Yes Mr. Admiral this should be H factory since 2009 or so. It's still great today. Still a super rep IMO and I still love mine. ZF (and V6) make the newer TG with secs @6

I recently received one of these. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but the Dopple Chrono doesn't come in a sec @6. The latest gen Top Gun (2016 - not Dopple) does come in that format, but I've never seen a rep of that one. The Dopple (or "double") chrono has secs @9.

That's a very nice watch, and I am absolutely in love with..I wonder if it is possible to fit a gen Valjoux 7750 movement inside, would the hands fit the movement?

Correct, the Doppelchronograph, also called Spit Seconds, is based on the secs @9 movt. On our rep it's not a true Doppel--the 2 large sends hands move at the same time like any other chrono, and the "Split" pusher @ 11:00 is fake.

On the newer TG with secs @ 6 the genuine IWC is a Flyback movement. On our rep version made by ZF and V6 it's just a normal chrono function. Hope this helps.

Loveley. It´s one of my next on my shopping list.

I like your new kevlar strap. it´s made of nylon, right? there is nor real kevlar, even not in the gen´s right?

for the tg-logo on the side: what is the gen, does it have a logo there?

also your timegrapher pic (+-0 sec) is admirable.

i think the doppel have a lot of wrist presence. only con - i think, its hard to tell the time with all this scales and hands ;)
