I would recommend to fix it asap anyway. You can't see screw and therefore you don't want it do go and block any moving parts. Should be very fast fix.

Yes, could not agree more, that should be fixed asap to prevent further damage.

How thick is this watch? The TDs describe it as 42x14, but it looks thicker than 14mm to me. Rep watches I've bought in the past have been a couple of mm thicker than advertised. I think I've read all 3550 posts in this thread, and I don't recall seeing anyone mention it.

Could someone with vernier calipers and a 5001 measure it and post, please?

It appears thick indeed.

But measured only 14mm

Thank you very much for taking the time for this, karen36. There's nothing like a picture to confirm stuff like this.

Hi, I am finalizing my Portuguese 7 days order from TD and just received
timegrapher picture. Please advise if 316 degree angle is acceptable
for this watch. I have read that angle should be between 270-310
–perfect, but 250-270 is still acceptable and if higher/lower it is
better to ask for different watch or service. Please advise



Edit: correct me if I am wrong. Watch is fully winded and this could be the reason for high angle. This angle should drop when some power will be lost on the main spring.

Yes. I won't refuse a watch with a movement having an amplitude of 316°.

316 amplitude may be bc the lift angle is not correct

You might be right. It doesn't seat square. Thanks.
Also TD advised that up to 320 would be perfect for a fully hand winded watch.
I did accept it and I am waiting for this exciting watch now.

I just approved this qc and time graph looks great as well. Can't wait!
What do you guys think? Any flaws that I didn't see?

Hi im sorry to bring this up again i know it has been discussed a lot but im still not clear.. The black dial was the most inaccurate because of the slightly shinier subdials but im wondering on the new v2 was that fixed? Bec on all the qc pics that i have seen and pics on td sites, it seems the subdials have been updated(more matte finish)..but then there were people that said the dials from v1 and v2 haven't been changed. Can anyone please confirm if indeed the black dial version has been slightly updated on the v2 or it is exactly the same?
Thanks in advance!

As far as I know V2 is only update to movement mechanism.

I got this beautiful watch yesterday and I dare say it looked almost as good as the gen I saw in the boutique the other day. BUT... is the rotor supposed to be loud? Do I need servicing to make it quite?

I did gentle "shake" with my finger on the crown and I felt something "push-back" on my finger. Also... When I manually wind the watch, I feel the spring crown spinning back a little and I hear something winding back.. I am not sure if these are normal as I have no idea about rep movements especially new movement at that. Please let me know if I should take it to a watchsmith asap.

I hate to blow this place up but I found something on the seconds subdial... I don't think it was there when I got it yesterday and I only wore it for a little bit today.. could it be just lint or is the subdial a tape on of something and somehow it got scartched?
