Heres the link for those that want to bid http://cgi.ebay.com/Vintage-MKII-BUND-watc...93%3A1|294%3A50 Bill's site http://www.mkiiwatches.com/ MKII Seafighter Compare with BLANCPAIN "The third Blancpain combat divers watch (6645-12-171-4162)which has the asymmetric and screwed crown at 4. The movement is a 24jewd, cal. CD 2873 of ETA, with date indication. Some characteristics: the crown position, the black bezel with one single fluorescent mark and the red minute hand. The bezel does not turn clockwise. The watch has the red mark for radioactivity, 3H in a red circle, that indicates the tritium layer of fluorescent digits and hands". from http://www.fiftyfathoms.net/FiftyFathoms/FiftyFathoms.html 1975.bmp

You have to understand the culture. Most Filipinos are devout Roman Catholics and as a devout Catholic that's your job spreading the faith. Like everything else in the world you can ignore whats being said or not. Btw not all religious people are out for money and you shouldn't feel obligated and I dont think you have to worry Ive never known the Catholic church to solicit for donations so I think you'll be ok.

For those on the fence about the FF95 because of the crown, take a look at this http://www.hodinkee.com/blog/2008/10/8/ori...ty-fathoms.html http://www.fiftyfathoms.net/FiftyFathoms/FiftyFathoms.html It seems there were so many models made any combination would be acceptable. What are you waiting for. By the way I scratched my watch face really bad today on the door. Rubbed some toothpaste on it and wiped it off good as new. If I do modify this thing it will be to put in a cambered scratch-resistant sapphire crystal. Will still retain the look of the plastic but will be sapphire so I can leave the toothpaste alone Love this watch

I have it on good authority that there will be more models added for sale from the FF series but i dont know if the 2003 or the newer version will be one of them

My new DSN Fifty Fathoms FF95

Guys I received my DSN FF95 in two days flat fastest ever. Not only that this watch is worth every penny if you only buy one watch this year this is it. I cant rave enough about this thing. Ill do an in depth review later because its late but Im attaching photos. One of the things that impresses me most is the lume on this thing looks like 3D and the accuracy is astonishing (see the rep compared to the original in my book in the photo) the crown is off but so what I like this better than my UPO and that says alot. Get the watch you wont be disappointed.

Beautiful i cant wait

just purchased the FF95, now i just have to wait 6 days. the wait is going to kill me

Ok can anyone tell me if an original screw down crown 069 ST 42184 will fit the rep stem and actually screw down. If I can get an answer to this I ought to be able to fix it without having to purchase a gen tube and tap it.

Ok guys need your help, I know this is a common problem and Ive seen all sorts of answers to this problem but they all seem to contradict one another couple of questions though for the experts since i cant screw in the crown 1. Is the problem the crown which has stripped threads or the tube that sticks out of the case? 2. If its the tube then you only need to purchase the tube and not the crown right and then you have to tap out the other tube which is attached to the case what do the experts think

Just received a reply that i didnt like regarding obtaining another crown. Guess I'll have to buy a gen crown and tube and have it tapped. I'm tired of paying over three hundred USD for a "quality" rep only to have them keep falling apart. This really pisses me off. I should just buy a Timex. cheaper in every sense but at least its reliable and I can swim with the GD thing.

Thanks for the reply Ill contact Josh

bump

AFter 7 months I now have the same problem with my UPO that I purchased from Josh. Do I really need to buy a new crown and tube or is it just a matter of pushing the tube out a little as described above. If I have to buy a crown and tube do I need a Stem as well or can I just use the old one? This is my favorite watch

Bump. Rep soon I hope

Is it worth it? Do the hands "sweep" like a 7750 ? http://www.pc-80108.com/ga10101-oversize-c...rtz-p-4906.html

Thats what I thought but wasnt for sure. Thanks

in Ufantas defense I purchased a Pane 111h from him and it has the canon pinion and a thicker crown to boot. Was in a AD 2 days ago saw the same one with brown band and all . A co-worker that was with me said wow thats the same watch . I held it up against the glass and you couldn't really tell a difference. Some of his stuff may be out there but some of his other stuff is better than what we get from our fav dealers. Regards

Anyone seen Josh's yet? http://www.pc-80108.com/0160-p-4498.html how does it compare to Silix's. The helium valve looks like it sticks off the case some. Anyone else see that?

who did you purchase it from

Theres an article on this watch in IW this month I think. maybe either this month or last. Im getting too many watch magazines

Sick Mofo. Someone should chain his @$$ up and let him die of starvation. The people standing by and watching and allowing it to happen are just as guilty as he is. SOB

Order the rep rubber strap from Josh, just like the originals. Also try the bay.
