Who did you get yours from?

It's difficult to decide.
I had a U2, but the U1 is calling me again...
But the jerky movement issue (I don't want to invest in an ETA) and the possible green lume (according to the batches) make me hesitate.
The DG4815 idea is a good one
What does it cost and where to buy one ?

parryl- I have the same question... Is that a gen U1?

Its not. The bezel fonts normally give it away. But its still one of the absolute best reps ever.

I got one from trusty yesterday. It's a solid watch. I've never had such a heavy watch on rubber before! I'd like to try the whole cape cod treatment, but I'm scared of touching the crystal with it and messing up the AR coating! The only thing that sort of bothers me is the movement. I bought mine with what is supposedly an ETA movement...The sweep is very nice and smooth, but It doesn't make much noise when I gently move it side to side. Typically I can hear the rotor turning...With this one absolutely nothing! I gave it about 30 turns when I got it last night so I don't know if it's still ticking only because of that or if my daily activity is also keeping it going. What do you guys think?

Oh BTW, the watch is killer! I absolute looooove it!

Thanks!

JF-

This doesn't really sound like a problem! Jeese, if that's your only issue, you've got a winner!

Why have you replaced the strap ? is the rep one not good enough ?

I'm asking because I want to buy a rep Sinn strap for Kemmner Octopus

Thanks
