Hi Friends ! I'm very happy to present my new baby. This project started by chance, I was fortunate to be able to buy a 700 gen crown and a 5512 PCG Phong case. Initially the crown was destined for my cartel 5513 but the day after its purchase I could not resist the opportunity to get a nice PCG case with correct crown eight. This was a quick decision to take as this case has the particularity of having a wider dial opening than the usual size for the 5512. It seems that for the first 5512, Rolex have used 5510 dials that measure 27mm. Then with the appearance of the 26mm dials a slight gap was visible between the dial and the rehaut. The 26mm dial not resting on the dial seat, the assembly was held in the case thanks to the fixings of the movement. With an ETA movement, which is smaller than the 1530 Rolex, this is not possible, the 26mm dial + movement set passes through the dial opening. So I had to be able to make a larger dial that can fit on the seat of the case. On this case, the diameter of the dial seat is 27.8mm. So I simply resized a 29mm dial in 27.6mm. The regulars know the following, removing paint from the dial, sanding with 200, 400, 600, 800, 1000, 1200, 1500, and 2000 sandpaper, polishing, gold plating, decal then lume. Specs are : Vintagewatchmaker case set Gen Service T19 Gen 700 crown Athaya 7000 tube Athaya pearl ETA 2824-2 JKHorological Hands Beco 2mm gen spec bars Gen 93150 bracelet Yuran Rally strap Decal dial Thanks for reading ! With her sister

Lol age old question. I love @nikki6's response. No one really asks and if they do I am delighted to tell them the truth, I see their eyes gloss over within 1 minute as I talk about watches. Where I live no one notices and no one cares. I have a few friends who are into watches here and we like to compare and contrast but that is about it.1 point

If this keeps up, we will take the necessary action accordingly Freddie. Don’t worry mate. Meanwhile she can hang around and spice up the threads. Lol. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk1 point

Yes we have bears and wolves in France, as well as 450 pound wild boar that will break your legs then disembowel you. So, I agree with Nanuq, if I were going out into that environment it makes sense to take a gun. The only difference is that all my weapons would be subject to fairly strict gun controls, but didn't stop me obtaining them. I think ceejay's comment is correct. A 12 gauge is unlikely to stop a bear unless you happen to be standing right next to it with the muzzle resting on its head. I'm not trying that one!! I think something a little heavier is called for. In the case of the wife, a Barrett M107 50 cal is about the only thing that would stop mine, but then she is half Danish, so part Viking. Anyway, it's a joy to see that humour is still alive and well. It's brightened up my week I can tell you. Lifetrekker, I hope you get that pin out, otherwise all this has been futile!!1 point

That's good to hear, because honestly, most places around the internet are not like that. But If you guys are okay discussing the normally "forbidden" topics here, I'm game. But as you say, let's keep it respectful and civil. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk1 point
