Hey everyone, I wanted to unveil to you all today another homage I have put together or just modified.

So another BASE alteration was due, It had to be Titanium, I found these parts off eBay, which fit flush perfect!.

The Finish product was a 1/3 the weight, far more sturdy 176 Homage with a VAC Sandwich Dial with C3.

(If you can recall I had traded this dumbass for his PAM 112 Homage, W/O the Jimmy CG "Which he soo claimed was Jimmy's) He gave me a bit of money to even it all out).

Does it not bug you that the hands don't align on a full hour?
This seems to be an issue with all your modded watches, ...just wandering what the problem really is, that shouldn't be too hard to achieve, no?

cheers,

I didn't think that would be that hard to spot. Not a big deal really, all I was refering to was when the hour hand is in full hour, minute hand is not @ 12 o'clock, actually quite off.

Again, not trying to make a big deal out of it, just an observation that somehow got misundersood by few here. :wink:

cheers,
