Gen has a small window on the left side - near a number plate.

No, not this model.

No, not this model.

Yes, you are right. Only 2013-2014 model has it. 2011 model without it.

U-BOAT introduced this "look at the balance" window in some other models - this particular was without it.

Any of you guys tested the chrono hour hand @12 ? Mine isn't advancing at all , is it a non working hand ?

On mine it works albeit slow, since it is hours counter. Servicing could help.

Thanks for the reply , I think my hour hand is dud , well I can live with that as I'm not using the chrono much

Hello,

I'm new here.
I'm very interessed by this watch and I would like to know where I could buy one ?
It will be very cool if you could help me.
Thanks in advance.

Regards
Ralph

You can get it from any of our dealers but here's the one from InTime. Ryan is a great guy to deal with.

This watch is a project that reached the great results thanks to Torobravo that bought a genuine watch to build the rep. So you can ask him.

Hey Guys,

Anyone could tell me which exact tool the bezel screws would require? As I see on mine it is kind of a square key.

Thanks!

 

[Cheesemonger]

I used the Wiha T3 on mine and they worked very well to remove and replace the screws. Amazon.com carries the Wiha tools.

I have also got the feedback that it is a Square 1 or Robertson 1, but eventually I managed to move them with a ball head Hex 2.0mm

Anyone know how big this wears compared to a Pam (44mm)? Is it significantly larger?

I know this isn't exactly a new thread, but did you ever get your answer? I am currently deciding on getting the current version or waiting on the bronze and was reading to try and find the same answer. 44mm Pam is my sweet spot, I figure it to be close to 51mm with crown guard.

Thank you for this reference.

@OP: this is a great watch!

Hi,

i dont quite understand "the upper “hours†subdial has edge painted in different way than gen.".
How obvious is this flaw? Also, the engraving on the crown looks jaggered in the pics. Is this pixelation effect of the photos or does it really look that bad in real?
