$30 - 214270 chinese market job. She's got her flaws, but makes me smile on the green Nato.

Took this shot this morning... My back patio at The Ranch... Tis my spot for morning coffee with the better half... And in the evening a glass of wine... Love the peace & quiet as well as the views...

That's a beautiful Tudor, but the un-beveled date window? Looks crude. I could overlook the window for the watch as a whole, tho.

1958 Karmann Ghia... Had a friend with one of these while I was stationed in Manheim Germany back in the 80's... Pretty cool car...

Now, that is a Phat case ~ lovin' your blog Two Tone, great selection of visuals...

The new Tudor Pelagos - think of this as a titanium Submariner... Maybe the watch Rolex should be making...

I get the feeling that this is your first mechanical watch. Dont worry, people come in all the time and ask questions as a complete first-timer. Turn the crown counter-clockwise to unscrew it from it's waterproofing tube. When it is fully unscrewed, it is in the winding position. turn it slowly clockwise to wind the watch. Counter-clockwise will do nothing. Gently pull the crown outwards from the watch body to it's second position and turn the crown to quick-set the date wheel. Pull the crown out again to it's third position and the hands (the time) will adjust. Push the crown inwards towards the watch body now, and while pressing inwards turn the crown counter-clockwise until you feel a small CLICK .. this indicates that the screw threads inside the crown and the watch body are aligned. Now, while still pressing inwards, turn the crown clockwise and it will thread onto the watch body and become attached/watertight. If you do not align the crown's screw threads and the watch body's screw threads before tightening it down, you risk cross-threading the assembly and no one wants to do that.

Now with gen crown and Clark tube

Anyone wearing an Explorer is a friend of mine. But I'm wearing a Daytona today!

For 6 days in a row now Have a nice day Cats

Now THAT's a car.. :-)

1965 Alfa Romeo GTA 1600 Fia GT Racer...

Let me know if this helps. It's for a 2135 movement, 16.5mm diameter.

I remember many years ago...my wife saying to me: 'All your watches look alike'. That is, for the most part they mostly had black dials and ss bracelets. In those days I owned 25 watches. To me, I thought they were all very different. Go figure.

Swisstimeservices are very good, how bad is the watch overall? Has it many dinks or is it just scratches? The bracelet is very easy to refinish, you could do it yourself, the watchhead is also doable yourself with the right brushing pads, polishing tools etc. It's not that hairy, alot of it is a case of go slow, be patient, take breaks and try not to brush/polish too deep into the original cut lines of the case. Then have the movement serviced or waterproofing done locally. It is nice to send it away to be done but it is certainly costly.

Absolutely )) no probs at all Jkay )) totally understand )) thats cool. Hey what is the most popular watch at present with you guys out there ????? Can someone let me know about any new products or potential great buys ?? Really look forward to getting the latest from you guys )). I am thinking of getting Franck Muller Casablanca just for the suit and work on special occasions, conferences. Hey j3T no probs your reps look great ))) the first one was an amazing buy, where did you get that from and how long ago, did very very well there ?? Look yeah the orange on the second one a tad out Omega have always had just the one colour for that series. It's not due to age or discolouring. For some reason whether Omega have had a hand in this hmmmm paying off the factories etc I don't know, hmmm.... I am cynical. But look no one normally would ever pick up the difference unless the have one one their wrist or see it side by side. Personally I was torn between changing it on mine as I personally liked the stronger more brighter tiny bit darker orange. At night it especially looked incredible..I think so much better however I am a stickler for exactness and a guy at work has one ( Yeah .... Upland ......good spotting !!!!! Yes it's a Grand Carerra Pendulum ... You'll laugh though, I picked it up in Bali (Kuta Beach) while surfing there last year. It's really really exact and cost the vast some of $ 60 AUS dollars. I've been going the Bali for some 28 years and normally the street venders sell them and they are just rubbish @ about $20 AUS and just make it to the end of the holiday. However wow... how things have changed world wide hey, they now have these awesome air conditioned shops all over Bali called the Bali Watch Co and have amazing reps even up to $250 to $300 AUS Hublots and and Panerai etc. A lot coming out of Korea and are really bloody good. Worth checking out if you ever go there. Cheers guys ZuluTag ( life's too short for a real watch !!!! Although I do have four unfortunately ; ))
