Still wearing mine OOTB and using the chronos to cook brownies, haha!

Who can get me a technical drawing of the gen dial? Cant seem to find it, need to know the subdial location for a project.

Look great KJ. For some reason I couldn't quote your photo.

I just order this one from M, waiting for the QC now. Hopefully QC photo does not the same issue with the alignment of index.

Hi guy, is this movement ST19? I compare with some other photos and mine look like it has a small gap as shown in the photo.



This one is KJ photo

Yes, that is an St19 movement. Those two parts you have circled do not lie in the same plane, so their relative position to one another appears to change depending on the angle at which the photo is taken. See below:

Also, here are two views of the same movement (technically an st1901 rather than an st1903, but that doesn't make a difference in this context):

I’m very interested on this model. I tried to make a comparison pics between a TD photo and a Gen Photo side by side but it is really hard to tell the real differences for every reference!! Can you please help me to understand which is the best reference to choose for your opinion? I’ve seen the Paul Newman one is the only one to be left for sure!! Thank you

It has probably already been mentioned, but changing the stock spring bars (which I think are 1.5mm or smaller) for 1.8mm spring bars made a HUGE difference. With the stock spring bars the endlinks and the first link rattled around quite a bit, but with 1.8mm spring bars all is quiet and solid. Highly recommend it if you are annoyed by the rattling of the stock bracelet.

Well, if they’re out of stock it’s irrelevant how long anyone else waited. You’ll just need to wait until they’re back in stock.

I asked M to get me a JKF 6205 some time ago and they didn’t have stock. A couple of months passed, but I got a message out of the blue recently from M that they’re available. He doesn’t forget, and won’t let you down. But, you gotta be patient...
