[mention=73322]Sogeha[/mention] You're welcome! Just helping out a fellow brother! Throughout the years I've received a wealth of knowledge from you guys! That's the least I can do. A simple act of kindness goes a long way! Pay it forward! Yes this is the spirit of our community here at RWG! My very first and favorite watch forum! [emoji1417]

Got an update! Seems it was returned to you in France, possible illegible address or missing zip code. You should receive it in a few days. Also talked to Detroit Watchworks they never received it and first time they've ever had this issue. Watch repair guy Jason sends apologies. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

First, see the final product. I aged it accordingly to the sole original part: the crown. The result is a soft patina. No beating, just some wear and mild marks. The dial is a faux guilt from Vietnam with a very fine printing. Great font !!!! Base case was cartel, it was totally modified. Slimmed, shaved on the sides, crown seat recessed to place the crown right where it should be. Bezel insert was shaved down to paper thin untill it could snap fit in.... Overall it's very gen like. A sweet watch ! Coming next the pictures of during....

Just got my 1st Gen Swiss GMT in the mail today.

Good to see you still around!

Thank you @indywatchguy, that is the true spirit of our community. Im sure it wasn't why you did it or even something you thought about, but the Mod team notices and remembers things like this??

Congratulations on ten years in @P4GTR

When I worked with Rafflestime to make the 6mm Brevet crown some communication was lost in translation. So I modified the crown and it works out well. https://rwg.cc/topic/140709-6mm-brevet-crown/#comment-1046260

Yessssir talked to him for about 15min nice guy although I'm sure he wondered why I didn't have a French accent[emoji57]. He did say you all had been chatting through eBay. My pleasure to help. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Okee mcdokee, here's midnight last New Years eve, with just a hint of northern lights ... same angle, same view.

Waouh !!! Great bro, you did a awesome work for me...and you got Jason by phone ? I was in touch with him ! The good new is that the parcel should go back to France A great thanks to you again indy, i really appreciate what you did !

Yep, it happens all the time. Not a big deal.

Hey Indy, you're a good guy for picking up this ball. I would suggest using the destination zip code to figure out the actual post office it was last tracked at and use local directory to get the phone number of that office and speak to the postmaster there for starters. Don't waste your time with the national number, it is miserable and hellish[emoji33]. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hot tropical days.

Now stage by stage: here is the case after shaving the upper part and refinishing beteween the lugs/engraving. It's with family undergoing the same treatment.... Next stage is the top of the lugs reshaped, and the sides slimmed Then primary mirror finish on the sides... I drill the lug holes after. So the polishing does not dig too much metal around the final hole. Laste stage, after drilling the holes is cutting the bevels and shaping the CGs. Et voilà ! Final polishing. Then aging and re polishing. Result is above... Thanks for watching !!!

Where-as I cannot claim to ever being rich I was earning $120K+ with my own company before my back went 10 years ago, I then dropped to $20K a year work cover. At that point you need to make tough decisions, my wife and I have learned to live with less and we have recently celebrated 20 years of Happy marriage. The lack of money can define you if you let it or it can make you more determined to live a good life, you say having money would make you dump your alcohol for a better life...what if dumping your alcohol will in fact give you a better life?

I've found that people who never have enough, are the ones that treasure more what they do have. That can be as simple as a true friend and an honest mate. I've starved for days on end, and a simple loaf of bread was a treasure. I've yearned for just a little bigger paycheck, and found it made no difference at the end of the month. We are guaranteed today, and that's all. The most precious thing we have is time. Spend it carefully.

Hi and welcome I had many NOOB submariner until the V5 version, and she is very well made ! But, today, i would try the JF for the following reasons: - The correct height of the sapphire above the ceramic bezel; NOOB is too high ! - The clasp is a real beauty; it's rounded where it has to be and sharp also... The brushing is excellent according to the pictures i saw on differents Truted dealers sites. - I like very much the bracelet; the links seems to be very well made and i think there is no space between them. - The solid end link has the correct lenght, it is inside the lugs... The SEL on the NOOB is too long and just arrives at the lugs limit. - It's hard to tell from the pics but i think also that the cyclop on the date is better, but i am not sure ! Well, i would be very curious to buy it and to see it I know that JF makes a great DAYTONA with one of the best finish you ca find, so i guess their SUBMARINER has the same quality manufacturing quality !
