Very impressed with it, Thanks for the review PJ this is a cracking watch :cheers:

Lume application looks pretty tidy on that one Rols - nice acquisition. How's your DW centration and clasp?

The DW is slightly left justified on the 20- 30 numbers, nothing you would notice on the wrist, here's a quick photo.

The clasp looks exactly the same as yours PJ, won't close fully, might try and fix that, or not, will probably end up breaking something.

Overall very pleased with the watch and quality :cheers:

There's a great recent thread on a simple fix for the clasp issue - it's a shame as it spoils what is otherwise a superb rep bracelet.

Your DW looks fine - some gens I've seen look slightly left justified so no worries. Here's mine for comparison...

Yep mine did this and my 1675 does this as well, there is an easy fix.

Advance the time by a full 24 hours, then set the gmt hand to where you want it.

Then set the time and this should reset the gmt hand.

Hello everyone, could someone please indicate to me how to contact "Ryan" and/or the "noob factory" ? Hope it does not break any house rules. Thanks.

I have a rep subm with an ETA movement which I was told back then (2004?) that it was superior to any chinese movements. What's in this watch?
