Hi guys n girls,

i felt in love years ago with the milgauss. Now i saw the Milgauss Pro Hunter e.g.

http://www.puretimewatch.com/product/milgauss-116400-gv-pro-hunter-edition/

But this watch has some flaws, most obviously PRO-HUNTER. Should be PROHUNTER.

I asked Angus if he could change the printing. He said NO.

Maybe here are more people that love that watch, but dont buy it, cause wrong printing ?

If we can organize a centralized buying, maybe RIGHT PRINTING is possible, if we match a high number of buyer ?

Let me know what you think

kind regards

P.S. Im interested in a nice Air King, but i dont see ANY TD, whose seeling them ? Can someone tell me where to get a close to gen rep ?

Nice idea but I think the number of people would have to be in the thousands for that to work.

AirKing - I think Timeshops has some.

Hey Guys,

I also like that watch a lot. If you go to the PRO-HUNTER page on FB they said that there is no difference between a PRO-HUNTER and PROHUNTER and apparently it can have both variations for the same model. If that's true or not I'm not sure, but it is the official PRO-HUNTER facebook page (link from www.discoverprohunter.com).

I was in doubt about the GMT model but have seen both printings on GEN watches and was convinced by that. When you look at the pics for the GMT on their website, the first one has both printings..

Hi Lucas,

they just write it right on the Page !! But printed is it PROHUNTER !!

Watch the pictures from their Site !!

Maybe 5-10 Buyers are enough for Angus/Lay etc.... ?

So everyone else whose REALLY interested in Buying this watch in the next 1-2 months, please drop a message ;)

My guess of thousands was only that, a wild guess. My impression is that the factories are not very responsive. Someone more experienced and knowledgeable than me may have a more informed opinion.

Dear friends

This change is not an Angus, Lay, Mark,...o any dealer problem. This is a fatory problem.

The factory must modify the complete dial print tools to have the "correct" PROHUNTER you want.

For make that, they don't need thousand but several thousands, and even with a big quantity perhaps it is not interesting for them.

If you find the correct PROHUNTER on the dealers catalogue, buy it. If you don't have it on catalogues... you had better forgetting it.

Please believe me.

Hi
I think there are old and new versions. I have the GMT with "PRO-HUNTER" and i'm sure that when I looked on discoverprohunter.com last year it was the same. (the website have changed)
Here is a picture found on the net : GMT

It's still there, but only one photo.

on this link, if you click on the smaller photo under the "Order" button, You'll see that it has the PRO-HUNTER and the first pic has the PROHUNTER.

It's a custom watch built one at a time, I'm sure Pro-Hunter will print it any way you like. I've seen pics on the Pro-Hunter website done both ways.

I'd be far more worried about the green crystal, personally.

Hi,

Green crystal? Wrong colour?

What about the 300 us $ version from puretime? Called best edition!

Thought that one should be close to gen ?

I have the cheapie 21j version. From my experience the crystal is the same on all of them. Im surprised they havent found a way to tint the edge green and have the green AR too.
