the beveling on that "702" makes it more akin to a 703 IMO

looks good. for me the tell on any sub rep are the hands, more specifically the hour hand, study the gen and the rep and you'll notice the tell, i can spot them a mile away now and dont even have to look at the rest since no rolex sub or sea dweller ever came with an hour hand like this. apparently no reps can get this little flaw correct making the rest irrelevant. well i shouldn't say NO rep, the WM9 v2 was the only one with correct hands, im afraid even the new tw sub is incorrect. look at the base of the hour hand gen this tiny yet very important detail makes all the difference, now you know and you'll be spotting it all the time as it sticks out like a sore thumb.

i wouldnt use a hand drill, the risk of wobble and breaking off the bit in the hole is greatly increased. your first attempt expect to either botch it or not do as well as you think you did, which you will only realize the second or third time you do it. alignment is key to doing it correctly, i personally use a 1.25mm bit, 3 in 1 oil and never anything faster than 3200 rpm. after you have to reset it for chamfering , and of course i always sand and repolish the lugs or it looks rough. repolishing is a whole other process of steps to do it correctly. if someone is offering to do it for $20 and they know how to do it correctly and with experience and you care about the piece id outsource it to them, especially if its your first time.

wow thats going to be awesome!

the android doesnt need jailbreaking because it natively supports homebrew apps and giving the end user the choice to fully own every aspect of their phone. not to mention a STANDARD sd slot and a usb/hdmi interface. its 2011 if you give me any device with out an sd slot or mini usb you should be out of the game (its a user controlling tactic). luckily traditional convention doesnt apply to apple, they have their marketing moniker to fall back on, who else could sell you a notebook with out a user replaceable battery, patented proprietary ac adapter, no dvd drive, and a proprietary standard(does that even make sense?) mini dvi comm port interface with intel hardware for twice the price of the pc equiv and people will buy it. you say you want OSX? run linux. anyone who says osx doesnt crash is lying. apple is brilliant at herding sheeple. if you succumb to the hype and get the iphone 4 do indeed jailbreak or you're only using 25% of your phones potential, and do not buy the ipod touch its a severely crippled version of the iphone in ways you cant even imagine or will ever see advertised. but truly the htc evo should get your money, theres even an app to theme the iphone like the htc evo. http://reviews.cnet.com/2722-6452_7-697.html

hah my bad! didnt even notice the date, got all excited for a potentially decent gmt master

its still amazing how gen like this things looks, no one would ever suspect. hope bks tw offering is as good.

HTC evo. i despise apple products for a plethora of valid reasons im too lazy to explain

LOL. christmas lights? i bought it to keep moose out of the way 'round here.

what are you implying?

these are very nice looking. how does the explorer compare to what the noob factory use to offered?

gross. looks like someone took acrylic paint and a paint brush too the whole thing. i dont think the tritium is even decayed but artificially colored. the one thing i like about pvd cases is you can clearly see the contours of the cgs perfectly, good reference for shaping.

man i need me some 580s

no you dont. it gets real old real fast.

take down you christmas decorations

i knew it! MBK makes a great 1680 dial

id go with clarks but even those arent perfect when compared with the gen

in short dont do it. trust me. i wont bore you or really even want to type out again my experience with his bezel and retaining rings.

this is the exact reason as i explained earlier why a gen insert will never fit this watch.

MY 5513 it'll be different I swear! for instance mines a mid 80s

at first i didnt notice your dial was the aged one, it was the white version that got the update to remove the incorrect dash between 'prince, oyster'

i was thinking something more fractional

sweet!

date window is off because these dials are used as ETA blanks

UBI does it again!
