Thanks, bro, that's a fine piece you're sporting And before anyone suggests I simply swap wrists... That's like sleeping with your sister: Probably looks okay to the unknowing observer, but it still feels creepy and wrong

It would have left the factory with a 24-700, but, today, RSCs would replace it with a 703/704.

Well, I've got one on the way. All I've ordered to mod it so far is a generic 116. Looking for an ETA 2846, other than that I plan to leave it as is (in terms of parts) but try to reshape the case to get the cornino CGs.

X2 for a YouTube video. I have a AP coming in and this is one of the plan MODS I want to do

thanks guys i will look into these sites =) and you are right ASCIWhite, theres no thing like arcteryx, i especially like their leaf series

Some quick pics from my totally reshaped and polished BK transformer who has a fixed bezel now. I'll make some better pics this week. Take a look at these crownguards and the polishing job It was a beauty but now it's near perfect. Have a nice day Cats

Pictures or we can't help you... Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

MAN DOWN! MEDIC! MEDIC!!! It's all right man, stay strong. We got your back. In the meantime try one of CrazySaleMan's DRTRLXXLWWW, it works great on wounded arms.

Stunning

There were some 93150 from the late 90s that had round 3s on the last bracelet link. Not sure about the clasp though. I certainly wouldn't say Rolex never put a rounded 3 on the clasp...it's just a matter of when it was done. I would scour VRF...tons of info on there.

Absolutely beautiful photography. You have a lovely place. Maybe only those of us who live out in the country can really appreciate the solitude. Friends come to visit us and they often remark "it's really freaky out here, it's so quiet"!! It's not really so quiet, we are just hearing sounds that you are not used to. Thank you very, very much for this great blog, wonderful photos, beautiful women, unattainably expensive cars, bikes and watches, and lots of sage words to live by

Mt666tm - Thanks for posting. I am going to give this a go. Hope I don't fluff it!!

To make things easier for those looking to compare the various rep DSSD's out there, here is everything and more that you need to know about the gen. ROLEX OYSTER PERPETUAL SEA-DWELLER DEEPSEA TECHNICAL FEATURES CASE ARCHITECTURE AND WATERPROOFNESS A watch developed for extreme depths, guaranteed waterproof to 3,900 metres (12,800 feet), the Sea-Dweller DEEPSEA required the design of a case with a unique architecture, the RINGLOCK SYSTEM. This innovation patented by Rolex consists of a combination of three distinctive features: • The high-performance ring Set inside the middle case of the watch between the crystal and the case back, the high-performance nitrogen-alloyed stainless steel ring withstands the pressure exerted by water on the crystal and the case back. The middle case is made from 904L steel. • The sapphire crystal To resist pressure, the synthetic sapphire crystal is slightly domed and substantially thicker than the crystals of other Oyster models. • The case back The case back is made of a titanium alloy, an extremely resistant stainless material. It is held in place against the high-performance ring by means of a 904L-steel ring. The titanium back is used, not because it is more pressure resistant than steel; in fact it is used because it will flex slightly under extreme pressure and then revert to its original form. • The Helium valve. The helium valve is made of high-performance stainless steel. Its size is adapted to the dimensions of the case to achieve optimal waterproofness. The helium valve is a safety feature, which, during the decompression phase, releases the gases that infiltrate into the watch during caisson dives. Indeed, between dives at great depths, professional divers use pressurised caissons in which they breathe high-pressure gas mixtures, notably containing helium, a very volatile gas that penetrates into the watch. As the diver resurfaces, the helium valve prevents damage to the watch. • The Triplock winding crown. The Triplock winding crown, equipped with three seals and screwed onto the case, completes this ingenious waterproof system. DISPLAY AND LEGIBILITY • The bezel The Sea-Dweller DEEPSEA is equipped with a unidirectional rotatable bezel with a 60-minute graduated black CERACHROM disc that allows the diver to precisely track his dive time. Engraved in the CERACHROM, the numerals and the graduations are filled with platinum through the use of a PVD technique patented by Rolex. The zero marker of the graduated bezel, represented by a triangle, is visible longer at night or in the depths of the ocean thanks to a capsule containing a new luminescent material that emits a blue glow. • The dial To enhance legibility, the gold indexes and hands are wider and partially coated with the same new luminescent material and also emit a blue colour. • The movement The Sea-Dweller DEEPSEA is equipped with calibre 3135, known for its chronometric precision, its reliability and its robustness; it also features a PARACHROM hairspring with high resistance to shocks and magnetic fields. Certified as a chronometer by the Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute (COSC), the movement has a 48-hour power reserve. • The bracelet Manufactured from solid 904L steel, the Sea-Dweller DEEPSEA bracelet can be adjusted for wear over a diving suit up to 7 mm thick thanks to a double extension system: • Fliplock extension links, • The new GLIDELOCK clasp, allowing fine adjustments. (see below) • A series of rigorous tests Because deep-sea diving requires absolute reliability and safety, each Sea-Dweller DEEPSEA must pass Rolex's rigorous waterproofness tests. To this end, special equipment has been developed with the help of COMEX (Compagnie Maritime d'Expertise), a world-renowned French company specialising in underwater engineering and hyperbaric technologies. ROLEX OYSTER PERPETUAL SEA-DWELLER DEEPSEA FUNCTIONING • THE UNIDIRECTIONAL ROTATABLE BEZEL The Oyster Perpetual Sea-Dweller DEEPSEA allows a diver to safely track his dive time thanks to the unidirectional graduated bezel featured on the watch. At the beginning of a dive: Once in the water, before beginning his descent, the diver turns the bezel to align the triangle on the graduated bezel to the minute hand, thus indicating the start time of his dive. During the dive: The dive time can be read against the graduated bezel. Since the DEEPSEA bezel turns only counterclockwise, any accidental rotation can only have the effect of shortening the dive time. • THE GLIDELOCK CLASP The new GLIDELOCK clasp allows for fine adjustments to the bracelet length, up to 18 mm by increments of 1.8 mm, without removing the watch. 1 Pull up the clasp's safety catch. 2 Pull up the centre panel of the clasp cover. The teeth located underneath it become visible. 3 Pull gently on the 12-o'clock side of the bracelet to lengthen it, or slide it into the clasp to shorten it. Adjustments can be made in 1.8 mm increments, up to a total of 18 mm. 4 Once the bracelet has been adjusted to the desired length, close the centre panel. 5 Close the safety catch. The watch weighs 222gms with a case diameter of 43mm. Keep an eye out for Eurotimez New DSSD V5

yes, i believe Ubi had something to do with it. perhaps some iodine was used in this process. I know the hands were brewed up by Ubi. as for a recipe, there's lots of ideas floating around. some i've heard: iodine on the indices 30min cigar smoke in a glass (too stinky im thinking) baked/broiled in a toaster over for x amount of time baked on a halogen lamp finish it off with some matte krylon spray. I have an MBK 5513 dial im going to try a method on. probably an iodine/baking combo, hopefully i can still sell it afterwards maybe attempt this weekend if im not too busy.
