I have some noobcases BUT they have attempted lug hole drillings on them. when you google "rolex F320840" http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&um=1&q=rolex%20F320840&oq=&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=iw&tbo=0 these are the results..too bad rwi took a dump, looks like some info there, and some on ioffer

Well i wouldnt use rodico on a gloss dial as i find it leaves residue you cant remove later. I dont believe thers anything you can do to make it look better without stripping and repainting. I clean dials using an air duster first and a micro fiber cloth with some isopropanol on the tip for stubborn particulate. Also try a small soft makeup concealer brush

My iphone cant read a pdf file over 10megs w/o crashing the browser, and no other windows are open. I also cant find an official stand alone pdf reader

and I did, that was 1 of about 7 things worth mentioning. when I was in school in 2003 they never used macs for 3d design because they didnt want to replace every mouse on the thousands of mac G4/G5s they bought just to gain that functionality, anyone who knows 3D studio knows the amount of right click submenus. Point remains the very limited upgradable mac desktops are obsolete. All the notebooks I looked at about 6months ago from mac had one GIANT click button, so unless you mean it's right and a left click with the addition of holding down a keypad button that doesnt count, or maybe they hid the button really well and I missed something.

im liking dial 4, and wishing the COMEX dial was the GW version http://puretimewatch.com/products_pictures/RLX-PT1665-DR4-02.JPG just waiting for a member review, finger is on the trigger ready.

id prefer gen style bezel assemb, but if the crystal is good then it's not so important for me. For the price it's hard to not just buy one anyways. I'd say the appearance of the gas valve and its construction is more important to me... heres to hoping.

it will succeed because it has Apples moniker ALL over it (think overpriced Rolex products). I think the arguments are based on what people expect or want out of a product for the average lifestyle, so who's really missing the point, apple or the public? the iphone was revolutionary (the iphone still wasnt as good as it could have been had it been opensource), but this is NOT, what IS it's point? As for flash, it's 2010, if they cant get that right (deliberately, cause if flash apps work you have no reason to shell out $$ for app store apps which could very well be made using a flash clone) Adobe makes excellent products with very low failure rates, in fact i cant even remember the last time any adobe product crashed on me. But the Apple iphone OS (used in the I-LOL-pad) cant even handle vb very well...so what is the point of this device? if you want to play mp3s while looking like Moses holding the 10 commandments and apple proprietary video formats..well yeah, it sure does that. If you must go Apple just buy the mac book air..if you must. or buy a real notebook with a user replacable battery and NON proprietary DVI out and an optical drive... plus two mouse buttons are nice when doing video editing and 3D design. Macs are odd in the sense that they remove features other people very well take for granted, repackage and sell for 40-80% more, less for more seems like backwards marketing yet apple is very successful at selling less for more. MY PC(hackintosh)runs OSX, macs use intel processors, therefor macs are obsolete.

thats more gen than rep

is that an MBK dial?

my initial thoughts were "are you KIDDING ME!?" it's a GIANT iPOD touch, like who gives a crap, this is groudbreaking? It only goes up to 64gbs as well, and has no camera (think portable video conferencing or VOIP). You're better off saving $300 and going with a netbook with TWICE the disk space of the 64gig model. At least that way you can run flash and non Apple licensed software... not to mention wmv, wma, divx, etc etc. This product shouldnt sell well, but IT WILL because Apple has done a great job of building their brand as hip and trendy. But their is absolutely nothing NEW here, it even continues its trend of restricting access to the content you want, tablet PCs have also been around for a while now. IMO it's not worth the premium Apple products seem to demand, go for value and get yourself a netbook, it's WAY more versatile and cheaper. I never liked the restrictions apple imposes on their portable devices, the only way to vindicate your freedom is to violate their terms of use. My ipod browser crashes daily and sites with flash are useless, there is also no easy way to get your information off this device without loading it in itunes. You'd think for something debuting in 2010 it'd at least have a mini usb port for transfering your data easily and the ability to use flash interactivity...NOPE. If palm came out with this product no one would give a [censored]. So please tell me why you want to buy this for $499 for 16gigs to a laughable $829 for 64gigs with 3G, no external inputs, proprietary digital output and OVERALL mostly proprietary software use. even a $350 netbook has a built in webcam

How is the build quality of the rep?
highoeyazmuhudee replied to collector's topic in The Rolex Area
Seikos are solid time pieces and great value for the price, but I never liked the crowns on them and they feel kinda "hollow" compared to a rep wm9 or mbk sub. HOWEVER, you'll never see a seiko with a poorly machined rehaut , misaligned crown tube or ill-fitting bracelet. But dust under the crystal living on the dial....oh yeah. Seiko Monster is an astounding buy, but nothing looks like a submariner, rep or gen. -
I find the noob bracelet to fit incredibly tight on the lugs of the wm9 cases. But i believe polishing of the bracelets regardless of manufacturer should be mandatory by the end user beucase it makes a WORLD of difference. I've owned several watches in my years but only polished the bracelet on my noobmariner and it stood out like a soft white reflective foil there after. Give that a try and believe me you'll be impressed. It gives the presence in my opinion that any one who sees it will think its truly a gen because of how well it shines compared to other watches they've seen before. Polishing the bracelet definitely adds that MUCH more credibility to the piece. Give it a thorough cleaning first though.

Looks incredible. Let me guess, the pearl and lack of laser etched crown?
-
this looks incredible. i've been waiting for a GOOD economic vintage 1665 starting point. too bad the GW dial looks weak. trim to cgs a bit more, maybe a YUKI, NDT, or even an MBK and this thing is practically done.

WM9v3 or even V1 for that matter is the best you can currently buy short of buying a gen. used to be MBK. Hey alligoat was it the prototype 1665 from ANGUS?...with a GW dial? man im all over this. whats you opinion for mods to be done on it? -
yeah put in a standard 2892, case closed.
-
this thread is funny. There are a lot of ignorant people on TRF whose sky is falling daily 'cause of reps. That being said a lot of them visit this forum as well. Last thing I saw from here over there was BKs NEW wm9v3, some guy was testing the response before he pulled the trigger on buying it, 80% thought it was gen. And since BY-TOR takes such excellent photos they use his ALL the time

How does this(gen?) speedmaster look? Any experts!?
highoeyazmuhudee replied to letter's topic in The Omega Area
the accent on the bezel is indeed odd, some have it, others dont, I cant track down a specific period when its not there. the new anniversary model has it even. -
