I’m very nervous because I’m traveling now to pick up something special for me tomorrow.

who can guess what kind of watch I will pick up tomorrow? it's at the top of my personal list, but I've never been able to get it in a new condition;)

Panda will travel with me.

And you made a great choice! It’s one of the most beautiful APs ever made IMHO. The new 26470OR just cannot compare visually at all even if they’re newer. I own both the 25940OK and the 26178OK(3126 cal), which one are you getting? Personally my favorite is the older series with the lighter grey dial but all are beautiful. For me it’s a highly collectible piece and I don’t wear them but they are good for admiring lol.

Thanks. I really love both the old RGRC and your new 26470OR. That’s also a Grail Watch and amazing Piece.

I have choose the older RGRC with the lighter Gray because for me the Contrast is more highlighted with Rosegold and I really love Gray Dials like the Ghost.

It’s an G Serial Number with the old 2326 Movement and the Ivory Datewheel.

Do you would do the upgrade from AP to 3126?

They offer the exchange at the same price as an Service from the Movement.

Yes of course please upgrade the movement if you can. There is no advantage to keeping the old movement and datewheel and cyclop.

above Genuine, below Franken.

I have to say honestly that the Franken really didn't look bad.

flying-tommy so on the gen datewheel the 1 in 11 is different from the 1 on 12 ?!? Peculiar

Yes. Absolutely correct. And what does that tell us? mikey has to adapt his data wheels. lol

only 1 and 11 are printed like this, all other numbers with IX

edgematic, legend, Mikey datewheels have all been printed correctly. 1 and 11 are different to 10, 12-19, 21, 31.

some gens have last digit 12 and 19 sans serif.
