seafoam: The only things I wish I could change would be the position of the lugholes and the crispness of the edges. But it might be easier to cast a new case than fix those, so I'm OK with what I've got! K's a whiz with his dremel, and janeto72 had an amazingly steady hand on whatever dental device he used to go over those engravings. I place this caseback next to a DW stock unit, and it's breathtaking. Like so:

"Rolex is not a 'real' Rolex if it has been modded. So that means.." A...What if the Gomer putting 'The Watch' together in 'The Factory' puts a screw (The Original Screw!) in a watch and then scratches the head of the screw while tightening it, removes 'The Screw', discards it, and reaches into a cup of screws and gets another one and installs it. The 'Original Screw!' has been replaced by a 'Screw! Not Original To The Watch' aka 'screw-modification'. By their own rules, "It's a Fake!" before it leaves The Factory. B...Once the back is opened and the 'Hallowed Swiss Alps Air' escapes, then is replaced by 'foreign air' (aka 'air-modified')...this means "It's a Fake!" from that point on. C...Same goes for fingerprints...one 'foreign fingerprint' (non swiss relaxy factory) and it has been 'fingerprint-modified'. So...from then on, "It's a Fake!" D...How about environment...since they are 'Born and Bred' in 'The Swiss Factory!', any change of location renders them 'modified by enviromental forces'. "It's a Fake!" from the second it left the factory. Therefore...they are All Fakes! I can live with that.

"Certainly a better case would be a good deal- WM9, TW Best, or TC would do as well as a new insert." There is probably quite a few noob F520117 cases around with doa DG/NN movements that are affordable. "You need to measure the dial also- if it's too big you might need a new dial also." The F520117 dial is 28.0mm, the dial window 27.0 and the dial seat will accept a dial up to 28.4mm. There is a slight step that limits the dial to 28.4mm unless you cut it away or mount the dial over the step. The F520117 came with a good case tube/crown combo, crystal/crystal gasket, and caseback gasket...plus metal movement spacer and case clamps with screws. They were OK for everyday wear and would not fog up after washing hands or getting in the rain. Some owners got by swimming and shallow diving with them.

Not sure who your dealing with but mate there's no way I'd put up with that shit! Pretty sure most of the guys on here would be the same view too If you didn't know the parts were used/damaged etc when you bought them I'd be inclined to politely ask for a refund and ship them back whence they came swiftly!

The only reason for that is that they are worried you might be smuggling the crims in the packages back to blighty !! Everyone knows it was alwasy cheaper to get to Oz than it was to get out of it !!

Zigmeister modded watches will become collecter items

Looks mighty fine to me. Just had an email from Andrew, his web-shop is down at the moment due to server issues, but he said it will be back up and running in a few hours. Then I can order my TT Sub Blk/Gld

Pa-pa-pa-pa-PANDA!!!

Bond sub

You really did not read did you?....

strap looks great.....sometimes its just dirt that slows it down...or worst case the threads are crossed....if its just dirt its just a slight difference in pressure...for that it just needs cleaned...if the threads are crossed its a big difference in pressure...your gut should tell you something is wrong..in watches....I never push anything that doesn't feel like it wants to be pushed...or turned or screwed...etc..

It's brother enjoyed the snow here in the UK yesterday, looks great on that bracelet mate

Indeed!! I just picked up a noob CG from w0lf And put it on my modded 366 with noob case and looks very GEN like!!! Amazing.
