Re: WOW..looks great...

Hey ANGUS..the new pics look great. As you have told us to give you, our input...I went ahead and made a jpeg using your photo and added in what I would like to see changed. They are very nit-picking things, Not really a big deal but in order for us to call it perfect, I think we have to get it done..Everyone else in the forums,(esp. uziuzi) if you see something I didnt add please let me know and I will add it right away. I only did the face of the watch maybe others can do the crown, back and strap and send them to Angus([email protected]). I will send this to puretime after I get feedback from the forums. Just want to include everything before I send it to Angus. Im sure I am missing some stuff or maybe the stuff that I gripe about is just my imagination..Please let me know...

good stuff - but please mark on your pic that the subdials are still a little bit too big.

Good Catch.

Good Catch zetterdawg. I hardly even noticed that, it could be some funny photo trickery, however none the less I have added it. Might as well let them measure with the genuine and make sure the measurements are correct. Please keep all input coming.

 

[malumouse]

Newest..added one more...

Some people in the other forums mentioned the minute marker at the "10" was a little too close...I checked it out..comparing it to the gen.. and they were correct ..it was then added.

Confirmed: Watch shall be available in 2 weeks.

 

[moggio]

in 2 weeks ?? do they have time to do the changes on all the flaws?? ermm i dont think so..

they might come out with the flaws frst for the 1st batch...

 

[zetterdawg]

I already saw one of the dealers posting that this will be a very expensive rep.

I guess this is yet another rep I won't buy.

 

[takashi]

Another picture for reference... it seems this piece is already finalised.

No worries guys, I have talked to the maker and everything is reported to him (I will talk to him again tomorrow about the new flaws found), unless there is something cannot be changed anymore, I will not allow the maker to release it before all fixable flaws are fixed.

Pay attention to my dealer section these 2 days, I got new toys for you :twisted:

Excellet news. I thank your commitment for better reps.

PureTime:
Just wondering... would it be a too steep price?

Cheers!

 

[puretime]

I also worry about the price, hope it wont be too high... and the price is not negotiable, he is the boss (on the first day the HBB released, I took 50 pcs and got no discount).

 

[onj]

Thanks PT for the effort I guess if the flaws are fixed people will be willing to pay the price....I will...

 

[fredderf1]

looks pretty good angus....get the swirls in the sub-dials,make the pushers sturdy n well mounted,super lume it and make that crown mechanically sound so i can wind it and feel gooood...please

 

[onj]

does anyone know the size of this watch?

 

[malumouse]

its big

44 mm ..

There are no swirls in the sub dials...I think your looking at a bad gen pic..(maybe the drawing one)...

 

[fredderf1]

Based on the the IWC web catalog the Cousteau Divers model has an "ocean blue" dial. Maybe its just the lighting, but this one looks black.

Agree with Seadweller4000's comments regarding the 3/9 markers, the three marker should be wider so it comes closer to the date window and height should be the same as the nine.

Compare to image of Gen below:

i thought i saw swirls here....is this the gen? but they do look very light

 

[malumouse]

not a good pic...

Yeah figured.you were looking at that pic..def..a touched up pic.....here is better one..of the gen.(i think it's uziuzi's own):

 

[moggio]

Thanks angus for the update..I hope its not going to be soo expensive..eventho he is the boss...LOL

looking forward to see it from your section : )

 

[tutima]

Has anyone figured out what kind of crystal will be on the back?
I heard something about plexiglass, but wasn't too sure.
Is there a possibility that it could be mineral crystal or sapphire (although i highly doubt it)?

...i think its plastic,but not sure...even mineral crystal would be nice....anyone know if the GST SS bracelet
will fit this....cheers,aws.

 

[tutima]

I'm pretty sure I've see this watch with the GST SS bracelet, however, i think the gen only comes with a rubber strap.
