  2. Hi guys as sme of you know I have a franken planet ocean 45mm, until now I had gen dial,gen hands,gen crown gen tube and gen insert, but it still had something missing........the gen crystal. I looked into a genuine crystal and they are an expensive upgrade which I could justify spending at the moment, so I put up a post in the wanted section looking for second hand gen or good aftermarket double ar'd rep. Well a member contacted me from rwi called Sunnydale who had a batch of aftermarket double ar'd crystals. I bought one and popped it in, here's how it turned out Removed old crystal Here you can see the standard upo crystal on the left and the double ar'd from Sunnydale on the right, you can also see the lovely blue tint on the crystal.. Here you can see the reflection reduce a hell of a lot on the Sunnydale crystal on the right, these pictures really don't do it justice the 1st picture is the original crystal under direct lamp light, the 2nd picture is with the Sunnydale crystal installed under the exact same lighting, you can see straight away the reduction in reflection....simply fantastic. Here's a couple of pictures in blazing sunshine Here you can see that the crystal completely disappears in certain angles and shows off the genuine dial so much more than the original crystal which is absolutely amazing And here's a couple of pics of the blue tint which you get in certain angles which is also very genuine looking. Conclusion to sunnydales crystal is if your looking for a Huge upgrade to your upo for not a huge cost make sure you contact him as I am so impressed with these crystals, I still can't believe that a better crystal makes this much improvement to you watch.....amazing. Hope you enjoyed Cheers Ry

  3. Since I made earlier today a sales post to offer a good copy of the 16600 I had, I also took the opportunity to make an other photoshoot to share my 1675 with the community. So here is my third post about vintage Rollies... I'm really getting to like that !!! This one is also an icon, less popular than the 5513, but a good third row after the queen Daytonas and the Submariner family. It has more character with its colored bezel, and I think that is why some people don't fully appreciate it when compared to the sobriety of the all black Submariners. Enjoy the pictures and don't hesitate to comment !!! By the way, for all three watches I'd love to show the movements since they are all very clean, but my watchmaker shuts the backs so tight that I'm always scared to damage the backcase by trying to open them by myself.

  7. Been living in NYC my whole 37 years and today she shocked me. I drive a Ducati gt1000, bikes worth about 14k. Today, for the first time ever, I left my key on the seat!!! I got to the bike hours later and there was a note on a napkin from a dude who had the key. Instead of taking off he left his number and helped a brother out. SHOCKING. going to get it right now. Guess there's still some good honest people left in the world.
