Cleaned up an old Jubilee I had in the box. Since most of my watches have oysters I think I will go with this for a while. Talk about comfortable and easy to wear.

Finished Tudor big crown submariner . and my first self made strap. not bad.... cheers.

Same here, I won't start my AP franken until legend tells me he has perfected this mod.

Thanks! You have only ever seen the insert, I got a gen 5513 that had a fake dial in it for a cheap price and just got the special dial and gen hands to complete my vision. It worked out well I think iPhone shots from before putting the band on.. Was a loooooong drive home

This is one of my biggest anticipation for my franken project. The cyclop is always the missing link for most of the frankens out there. Appreciate Legend's "stubbornness" to make it perfect! :-) Patiently waiting for your good news.

A nice not so common one today, on real croc strap from Vietnam

They say "beauty is in the eye of the beholder". It all depends on amount of "aging" you're looking to achieve.

Do NOT put the entire watch in the oven. Will mess up the movement tenfold

You are EU so RA, Domi, Steel all by you.

Just ship it as it´s the most convenient for you as that watch is going back to the slaughterhouse anyway, don´t worry about it

It´s not fair that he pay 520 euros for all this. Mikey please do the favor and ship that watch back to me.

The buyer haven´t been completely honest on this story. I kindly offered him to return the watch to repair/refund, both to China or to EU, he refused to. After few days he said his future father in law fixed the watch and now it works smoothly, than he emails again after 3 days that now again the watch has a problem and he would like to return it to Spain for a FULL refund. I told him if the watch is in brand new condition, it´s not fair that I pay him full refund. But anyway I have to inspect that watch and if it´s in brand new conditions I don´t have a problem giving him a FULL refund. SSTEEL contacted me today that the repair cost would be 145 euros (about 170 usd) for a 358 usd watch, we, dealers cannot afford to pay these kind of things, otherwise we will be out of business in no time, we survive by our rules and unfortunately all dealers rules is not to pay repair cost as usually it´s much higher than our benefit margin. Mickey he is going to return to me the watch and I will refund the buyer, this is the best I can do, and the buyer returns me the bracelet.

Thanks for the heads up on it. I just picked up a NOS bezel assembly from VRM, now I think it's complete. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The bug that has affected the feedback calculation has been fixed, so all feedback scor should now show up correctly. Also, make sure you change the default feedback from negative to positive when leaving a positive feedback for a fellow member Admin out

I would try the dental floss trick first. If it doesn't work, you can always remove the floss and try something else

You can always find a gen 5513 that has a damaged dial, buy the complete watch head for something like 4k and replace with your dial. I found a gen 5513 with a fake dial for 3K and now im free to put any dial I want. A phong case and movement, crystal etc will run you the same amount if not more... food for thought
