"The Fang" in 2015?

Was browsing through gen pics after a long day and couldn't help but think (wishful hoping actually) whether this would be the year that "the fang" (horizontal power reserve indicator) such as the 335 or 533 could be successfully repped?

Maybe it's just me but I have a major hard on for them PR indicators @ 6. So far only the 233 has been repped and even that is only a decent quality rep fitted with A23J movement (wonky/unreliable movement?) and unsure whether its with a working PR indicator (ALE's guide said that it was but unable to find any info and confirmation on that)?

Decided to pull the trigger on the next best thing - the 028 by DSN and just waiting for it to arrive. Cost me quite a fair bit of change but at least that's a gen movement with working PR indicator so no complains there.

Meanwhile, fantasising over the yen 335 and 533 with some hope (and a hell lot of optimism lol) that it'll be possible in the future. Just maybe? :eek:hwell:


335:


533:

Agreed. It was the fang that lured me to PAMs and till date still makes me hopeful for one

Right now even if its a faux PR indicator where you could set it such as reps with PR indicator on the case back would do it for me lol.

Wont happen. Movement is too complex they will need to work on an actual clone. Otherwise PR etc will all be Faux which I cant really handle.

watch carefully around 0?55s

Must've missed it watching it the first time round but it seems like you're right, the PR indicator does seems like it's working! Mind sharing which dealer or even maker that this QC video came from?

It's encouraging early signs as the video is posted on the 18th of December but I'm just gonna curb my excitement for now till someone else could shed some more light on this? Perhaps ALE or some of the other more experienced PAMs expert out there?
