I don't own it but from the pictures it looks terrific. Nice fat crown and crown guard. Superlume! Pretty much up to par with Davidsen. Titanium and stainless steel version available.

Does anybody know where else I can find these babies besides the link below?

Get it on EBAY

Can you guys tell if this is a SWISS movement? I might buy that watch if I can't find it at a lower price.

Titanium version

Looks Swiss to me. They say it beats at 21.6K ,but I hope it is a mistake. It should beat at ~18K. Its worth noting that it has no recessed pin, so something is up.

I think its cool. Unfortunately you will never know until you have it on your hands.

or you can order a davidsen special for probably same price and know exactly what your getting.

Yeah, I don't agree with the price. But this watch has that prototype look and I'm planing to do some modding to it myself.

There's a guy who owns one of these I think he posted on RWG2. I'll consult with him.

Ok, I just found out the seller is Homer. I'll see if he can do a better price. And maybe get an extra crown and crown guard for my 177H? :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

I'd still bet you can get an unbranded Ti watch from Davidsen for cheaper. He'll probably hook you up the spare parts you're looking for, too, if you ask him.

Yes, Davidsen is another option. I have bought some watches and parts from him. Kinda want to try a different source. Plus his crown and crown guards won't fit (out of the box) my 177H.

Really? I can see the CG maybe not fitting, but why not the crown? As long as it's for the same type of movement, why wouldn't it fit?

EDIT -- Who is Homer, BTW? Is he a dealer at one of the other boards?

I'm not too sure on the crown. It comes with a tube and I think you have to use that tube. Will the tube fit with a REP case? I'm not sure.

Homer is a trusted dealer that use to deal on RWG2 and TRC. He was able to get REP 2mm crowns a couple of months back for some people.

The movement pictured is indeed Swiss. Looks like the 6497/2 Unitas. And it can run from 18,xxx-21,xxx BPH.
