GGTS Help please!

What is this "kick" you all speak of? Would it fit a GGTB?

I may get a Provari at some point, but I rekon it'll be a second hand one as I very much doubt I'm going to be able to afford a new one.

Pity there wasn't any copies out there, as there are with Rolex

There is, it's called a Lavatube

[jlowdo]

are we talking about the prover v1 or the vv version? hopefully my LT will be sorted for variable, does the v1 prover do the job properly?

[hissie]

Ah so there is steve

Lava Tube = copy rolex

[jlowdo]

doofer spellchecker prover obviously means provari

[jlowdo]

I bought a copy Rolex in Majorca. Works really well.

[hissie]

jlo...I was comparing the provari to the LT. ie provari is the rolex & LT is the copy

It is all down to the contacts on the GGTS. If the attie pin, battery post and button where all brass, it would be a stonker. The thing is a wonderful piece of engineering and Imeo is a genius for designing it. Chrissie, yours being the first version may well have brass contacts, that's why it performs good. SS doesn't conduct the current very well, I've had a few Dons. The SS one doesn't come close to the ally version with brass contacts. Anyone that thinks it does is dreaming. The P+ has rhodium contacts and hits hard.

Can you still buy the brass battery post and buttons?

Hissie, apparently, the new Lavatube out in a couple of weeks does everything the provari does and it's all stainless.

Doubt it but if you know anyone with a machine shop, they wouldn't be that hard to make.

[jlowdo]

hissie, i was joking... but yes, they are both real

TBH i have a LT which i am not currently happy with, may buy a provari and keep the LT as a backup. unless it comes back from testing and actually kicks tut. 180 is a lot to pay out for the pv2.... but, one needs the best, sorry i;m an OCD like person when it comes to products...

[bluemagnum]

Might be £180 but they're worth it!
