Does anyone have any pvd sea dwellers or subs? I’m thinking about getting one but I haven’t seen any on here which leads me to believe they might be crap? Can someone educate me please? thanks

There are a lot of variations for the bezel and also for the CG's. I think it's also a question of taste. This is mine. Gesendet von meinem MI 4S mit Tapatalk

You can go to a search site, (Bing for example), type in 'rolex 1665' and look at dozens of examples with lug bevels of all types and find all kinds of variations. Lug bevels are hard to do by hand because after you work 2 or 3 hours on one and finally get it right...you still have 3 more to go, and they all need to be the same. Something I have noticed is when bevels are filed/ground/polished on lugs, the lugs often end up looking too thin from the top side and there is no fix for that. Bevels also make the spring bar holes appear to be closer to the top edge of the lug and this can look pretty bad sometimes. The bevel shape and condition also needs to match the overall condition of the watch. It looks like the JKF 1665 has plenty of metal to work with compared to many others. Lug tops are much like crown guards, you have to be very careful or you will mess the case up...and with lug tops you have 4 chances to screw up, not just one. I have tried making/improving bevels on numerous cases and some turned out Ok and some did not. Exercising restraint seems to be the way to go. When using sandpaper to form bevels, a flexible backing on the sandpaper can result in rounded edges on the bevels that do not look right and are not easy to fix. "The bevels in your photos are more pronounced than others I've seen. In some genuine watches the bevels are almost non-existent." I've noticed this too. If there is this much variation in genuine examples, I would say a replica can get away with just about anything within reason. Anyway, that's a good excuse to leave the CG alone on my MBK cases. Some of the most consistent bevels on my cases are on the old 5513/1680 cases from 'Paul' at Abay. The cases have flaws of course but this detail was fairly well done back then (early 2000s).

So this a old MBW for comparison. Gesendet von meinem MI 4S mit Tapatalk

I was also thinking because it's a bracelet pin, maybe it's just filthy and dirt is holding it in there. Boil the hell out of it and see if that frees it up?!

Did I drop a crabby patty? Watch Out!

OK because @macarone replied you first, he has unknowingly ruined my reply, though his reply was much more useful than mine was going to be. I was going to tell you that the last I checked, spongebob lived in a pineapple under the sea. well, I will reserve this for the next person who asks about spongebob lol

I found an old topic where some of our long-gone gurus gave good advice.

Okay, so where does one purchase Alum? You know, just in case my other technique doesn't work. Also, what is a good source for a replacement spring bar for this bracelet of the appropriate size? And on the other topics, personally, I try to keep the discussion of politics and religion out of my watch threads. Not that I don't have strong opinions on both, believe me, I do, and I actually love discussing them too, it's just that they are so devisive, I find it better to try and civilly discuss them on another platform. Just my 2 cents worth. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

Why not stop watching the news, since a lot of it is fabricated or “modded”. I have stopped watching television for a year now and i couldn’t be happier. Just like social media is manipulating your mind, so does the television. I know this sounds a bit like i am conspiracy theorist. But it has been proven that social media makes people dumber. And it has been proven that it manipulated the brexit and the presidential election. I am putting my aluminum hat back on now. [emoji1590] Verzonden vanaf mijn iPhone met Tapatalk

Hi Legend No real story really other than I tend not to take life seriously these days and as lifetrekker said, try to have a little fun every day. Stops me from suffering terminal brain freeze when watching the never ending chaos on the news each morning – like America’s terminal inability to deal with the second amendment for example etc etc etc and the NRA’s solution being that to arm the teachers will solve the problem!!! And that’s coming from a lifetime shooter (me) who fell in love with firearms at the age of 13. When choosing a profile photo it therefore seemed rather appropriate to translate all that into some pictorial form ie. Donnald Duck running away in obvious panic. Other than that, I’m fairly normal – although the wife wouldn’t necessarily agree.

What a gorgeous COMEX. We really need to make a trade, you know.....

Thanks! But dammit! You guys are pulling me deeper and deeper into the rep world. I hope you're happy with yourselves. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

Very nicely done! Now, one quick question for you. Where can you purchase the Silix case? Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

You didn’t ask me. LOL Don’t be afraid Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Every town has a few dodgy hangouts and strange folk, WUS is no different. You have to find the right hang out! Like@sogeha says... some of the best folk on the boards hang their hats over at BSHT. You won't find a better band of brothers... Its much like this place really[emoji106] Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk

WUS I have only one thing to say. BSHT, those guys are my brothers as much as any of my brothers here, same ethos, same love, same vibe. @LifeTrekker @MRWOZZA70 correct?

Yeah sure, just make sure you screw the buttons down if you are going that deep with it. Seriously, it's beautiful A. I'm a little jealous.
