It's been wrong for bloody ages. Shame on whoever has to power to change it for not doing to.

Ebel Discovery.

Got a lot of goodies delivered the past 2 days: Bottom right: Yuki 5513 case, case back, bezel assembly and Yuki insert Bottom left: HH 5514 prototype case, case back, bezel assembly Top middle: Gen 5513 service bezel assembly, service insert (retaining ring not in photo). After careful comparison, HH's bezel is by far better than the Yuki. The Yuki insert sucks, but won't be using it anyways. However the Yuki dot is actually very nice. I will most likely use the gen assembly on the yuki case These should keep me busy for awhile.

Should we fix the link in the dealer websites section to reflect the new site, I didn't even notice that it was the wrong address.

quick mockup of my current project; some issues I have to resolve; one of those is the 702 tube which is not fitting correctly into the case (there is too much resistance when I try to screw it in and I don't want to break the tube), could somebody give me perhaps some advice as to how to procede? As far as I can tell all the threads look just fine... apart from that I'm excited about finishing this build

Mine in , pics well you will see them soon !

I have to say, I'm a sucker for pens!! I've collected pens for as long as I have collected watches. Mostly vintage pens, as I believe that the golden age of fountain pens was the early years of the 20th Century when everyone wrote with fountain pens. When I started school, we wrote with either a #2 pencil or a fountain pen. Most of you guys probably have never written with a pen that you have to fill by sucking ink out of a bottle! I would guess that most folks back in the era of pens lived with ink stained hands and ink spots on their shirts where the pens leaked!! Of course today we have evolved to better easier to use, less complicated pens like the ball point and roller ball. in my work, I cannot use a fountain pen, as all of our records are either 2 or 3 part, and a ball point or rollerball makes better copies. So my fountain pens are mostly in display cases and a few that I use in my office to sign papers and checks. But this story isn't about me and my pens, but another long time member, Mikellum. Mike makes beautiful, collectible pens, but they are also user friendly and robust enough that you could certainly use them as your everyday pen. I read about Mike and his health problems on a thread here a few days ago, and immediately went to his Ebay store. WOW!! I was amazed at the quality and beauty of his pens. Since the watch dial pens are still in the conceptual stage, I decided to buy one for my wife, who is also a pen lover. I decided to purchase the "Pansy" pen which is made from real Pansies inside the resin barrel. I ordered the pen, and yesterday it arrived. I have to say it's even better than the photos depicted. Beautiful, well balanced and a rollerball refill that is easily found at your local Staples ,Office Depot, and online. this is important, because I have bought rollerballs that contained refills that were unmarked and very difficult to source. Another thing I found very handy about this pen is it's threaded on both ends, so the cap screws on the top of the barrel when you are using the pen. This solves a dilemma that often occurs with better rollerball pens, "what to do with the cap"? Often the cap doesn't fit very securely on the top and you end up having to put the on your desk while you write. Problem solved with this pen. I would urge each and every member here to go to the website or eBay. Mike's eBay name is penzrus, and it's easily found. Please take a look and if you like something, contact Mike and he can get it to you. If you purchase it from him directly, there is a further discount, plus he saves the eBay fees. Another thing, Mike is trying to put together pens using watch dials, so if you have any old unused dials lying around, send them to Mike and help a fellow member out. Enough talk, here are a few photos of the "Pansy" pen I purchased for my wife. Thanks for looking.

I 've just realised that I have been a member for over 4 years. To be precise 4 years and 1 day. I missed my 4 year anniversary on RWG yesterday . Thank you RWG and you guys for a great 4 years. I hope to have many more to come.

again this

Hi buddy the non ceramic planet ocean is a great rep for modding like others have said. I bought mine and managed to find pretty much all second hand gen parts and made a cracking franken which I ended up loving so much I went and bought a gen. I made a few threads of every mod I done which all should be in my signature.have a look mate and see what you think. I'm no watch modder/pro but managed all the mods myself with the help of all the great info and members on Rwg. Good luck
