I have no idea, BUT if you want to front me the scratch to get one of each I'll gladly rip 'em apart and see! ;-D
I'll front you for the Rollies, if you'll first front me for a Concord Tourbillion I've been eyeing. Deal?
Hmmm, generous offer but I don't think I'm THAT curious! ;-) That is a strange looking beast, will it not have a crystal in the classic sense?
Well, not exactly. http://www.c1-tourbillon.ch/guide/
Guess you'll have to use the air-blaster a lot to keep the holes clean.

It's only meant to be worn on your yacht while it's in dry-dock, and you're in the clean-room in the cabin.
Oh, I didn't think about that possibility! I think, though, it is a wicked-cool looking timepiece!
Several folks wanted "lume shots":
First is pretty much "life-sized":
Second is slightly magnified:

Same deal you can get! If you e-mail 'em you can get your choice of 4 different movements. The only flaw I have been able to find is the bezel insert is off maybe a half a click and on the geek somebody pointed out that all V5s he's seen seem to have slightly "slanted/crooked" dial text. I could see the dial issue on a macro photo after it was pointed out but I really can't see it in real-life on the wrist.
You mean when the bezel is clicked it doesn't align with the markings? You can fix that probably, open the back and undo the 2 screws for the movement holder slightly. This will loosen it, then turn the movement holder that holds the dial some and see if it aligns properly. Re-screw. I had to hold the movement with slight pressure and tighten the screws on mine. Hopefully it will do it enough to align it with the bezel, yet not throw it off from the general alignment and the crown stem is still pretty straight and not putting any weird presure on it. That's what I had to do and it worked on mine.
Yeah, the slanted dial print issue once I noticed it, I can't stop looking at it. This is a shot of my Eurotimez V5 out of the case as mentioned in the RG thread. It is pretty bad. I am waiting for Eurotimez to get back with me on this issue.
Dr, No way to tell from that angle and size...
Tech, never entered my mind to rotate the movement slightly. Thanks for the wake-up slap!
As soon as I can get the back off (so far my sticky-ball won't budge it so later I'll try a wad of duct tape) I'll do that as it bugs me a whole lot more than the amount of "dial tilt" in my example.

Well I gave the ok, the watch is on its way to me and I'll hopefully find out pretty soon ... wouldn't be nice to get an ETA DSSD with a tilted dial ...
Can't get to sleep in fear of getting a slanted inscription

Hey time machines are to be posted in the 25th century section.
Did you ask them for photos of the watch before it is sent? Ensure a straight on shot of the dial clearly, you will be able to see it. Let us know though when you get it and post some photos...I want to see if the streak continues.
