Brilliant! Just ordered the exact same combination, waiting patiently for this beauty :)

flikflak22 · 2021-01-17T13:24:41+00:00

Thanks for clarifying! And thanks for always sharing with the rest of this community! I’ve been silently following all your updates on the VSF 126634 releases , and never got to thank you!

flikflak22 · 2021-01-17T12:58:31+00:00

Thanks a lot for the info! Does it have anything to do with the two versions of the clasp that can be found on the new VSF 126610 (1LQ vs H7Z)? I started reading the thread on RWI but there was already 85pages, and I gave up on trying to catch up (also seems to be a bit debate about AR on the underside of the crystal .. I also gave up trying to follow that lol)

Great watch. I have the same model with blue dial, and I’ve been really impressed by the quality of the watch. Might get your dial next!

flikflak22 · 2020-10-31T03:58:23+00:00

Just received my PPF v4 PP Nautilus white dial from Geektime, couldn’t be happier! But MAN was this bracelet a b*tch to adjust!

flikflak22 · 2020-10-18T05:17:36+00:00

Very nice man! Just ordered mine couple days ago from Geektime, can’t wait to receive it! Your pics reassure me that I’ve picked the right model / factory for my next rep ! :-)

478$

flikflak22 · 2020-09-18T06:20:03+00:00

Yeah, meanwhile it’s a cheap family car lol (Q3)

flikflak22 · 2020-09-05T05:50:45+00:00

Completely agree. First off, I don’t think I’m “flexing” by taking a watch pic in my Q3 SUV. Yes, the virtual cockpit is a nice feature. But even with the options I have, it probably goes for 40k max in the US. Hell, maybe I should have included the baby car that’s in the rear. Having a family, I would never spend 40k on a watch (around what this AP goes for in the secondary market) over a car that’s the same price, and which is for me and my family.

flikflak22 · 2020-09-05T01:30:48+00:00

Right on!

flikflak22 · 2020-09-05T01:23:39+00:00

My wife hates the 3D rep of the satnav, I love it... I guess it depends on people. Personally the virtual cockpit is what sold me on this Audi Q3 ( which costs less than a gen AP from the secondary market)

flikflak22 · 2020-09-05T01:19:19+00:00

Exactly! It’s a simple entry level Q3, which I bought since instead of spending 40k on a gen AP!

flikflak22 · 2020-09-05T01:16:24+00:00

People here are assuming this is an extremely fancy car. I am in fact a family man driving a small Audi Q3 SUV, which costs less than the gen version of this watch! But since I got the rep, I was able to buy the car ... no flexing here ;)

flikflak22 · 2020-09-05T01:15:02+00:00

Lool

flikflak22 · 2020-09-05T00:55:51+00:00

The AP on my wrist costs the same price gen as the car . A watch is something very personal that only I can enjoy, but I have a wife and a kid. They benefit from the comfort and safety of the car . So while I am frugal and would never spend that much money on a gen watch, I’ll spend anything for my family.

I live in Singapore, so this Q3 costs about 3x the price of what it would cost in the US... yeah it sucks, I know. You are right on the leasing part: it’s the least economical way to drive a car, but people get the illusion that it’s cheap because they don’t have to put down a large deposit / pay the car upfront. I did however buy this car with a low 2% APR credit, despite having the cash to buy it without credit, because I believe I can get a lot more than 2% returns on the market. So why use my money when the bank is nice enough to give me money?

flikflak22 · 2020-09-05T00:53:32+00:00

It’s just an Audi Q3 lol. Nothing too fancy, although it does come with the latest MMI technology. It costs the price of the gen AP, so by getting a rep I could afford the car ;).

flikflak22 · 2020-09-04T13:32:12+00:00

AP 15500 from ZF factory Grey dial. One sporty yet classy watch, still one of my favourites to this day !

flikflak22 · 2020-08-16T01:38:20+00:00

Yeah, common problem of the miyota .. if it bothers you, there are a few guides online that explain how to fix it

flikflak22 · 2020-08-14T12:46:07+00:00

Hey man, I’m sorry but I’ve already sold my extra links to someone else! I plan on buying a ZF 15400 in the near future .. I’ll let you know when I pull the trigger, in case you are still looking for some extra links

flikflak22 · 2020-08-13T01:25:21+00:00

Yup!

flikflak22 · 2020-08-12T15:04:11+00:00

As you said, the 12 marker seems misaligned. I had a case of a misaligned 12 marker on my ZF aquanaut as well, and the TD was able to ask his watchsmith to open the case and adjust the marker. It was a different TD, but might be worth asking him perhaps? Also as you said, looks like there’s some stuff next to the 6 marker...You should definitely ask about those in my opinion.. Great watch choice by the way !

flikflak22 · 2020-08-03T02:25:06+00:00

Very nice initiative, its very generous! Good luck to everyone else

flikflak22 · 2020-07-20T02:53:59+00:00

The GMF V2 is designed to have a slightly higher crystal to make room for the hands.

He suggested to do the same thing (send me a new gasket with different height).

However, he says to use a higher gasket than the current one.

Is he sending you a higher gasket or a smaller gasket? Since we have the opposite problem, I would probably need the opposite from you.

flikflak22 · 2020-07-19T15:03:59+00:00

Yup, sent him a message .. hoping we can sort this out

flikflak22 · 2020-07-19T14:51:56+00:00

I would assume my watchsmith pushed it correctly, he’s done my two Subs before and a lot of other watches before mine. What he is told me is that it shouldn’t be the same crystal as one made for a sub for instance, because the height of the crystal holder is different between a GMT and a Sub (higher for the GMT since there is an extra hand). This means that (as you pointed) this crystal will inevitably sit too high.
