What dealer is that one from? I've allways been put off with the issues with the datewheel but that one looks right with the black on dark gray background, I must admit I havn't been looking at BB 's for a while so I may have missed this one

I had a good look at a forged carbon AP while in London, although the factory's continue to surprise from time to time I think this one will be next to impossible to rep. If they do manage it I'll be pretty near the front of the line for one though, might even make me take my Volcano off from time to time

It does look like they have changed the angle on the bezel. The gens have the same (almost touching) spacing from the numbers to the bezel edge as the reps while the latest picture they have a gap. Either way it's still a nice piece, now if they would fix the colour of the volcano bezel & sell it separately I would live with the gap

DSN I have one that I replaced with a FGD & the dial font is the same, also the markers on the dial are deeper than FGD's & unless there's about a gram of lume in them they will be slightly recessed

If its a ceramic the top gun logo on the side will be deeply engraved & slightly powdery to look at, I've never seen a steel case that isn't laser etched as I cant see the factorys bothering to CNC a stainless case. Also it will be incredibly light & have a matt finish, there is a steel cased one doing the rounds but its a shiny finish

Same issue, using firefox with new bookmark

For anyone interested in grabbing a cheap copy there's a softbound reprint on ebay that ends this Sunday (Item number 180393203413) I grabbed my copy for under $15 from the same seller, its not as nice as the old hardback copy but the information will be the same

There's a software program you can use, I'm sure there's a link to it somewhere on the Geek. If not send me a PM on here or on repgeek & I can send it to you. You'll still have to sort out the pickup but there's a few schematics on the web you can use, I still need to make a new one as my last one wasn't sensitive enough to be accurate

Not even an old case, the date pusher is too far down the case (should be between the 75-70 markers)

If you do go for a slevin buy the bracelet & the rubber strap, I love the bracelet but it just sits better on the wrist with the rubber IMO

Be careful with the Dsn 172 dial. the last one I ordered was around a year ago & was a matt grey colour, he may have changed it since then but if its the same as the one I had it wont last long untill you take it out Old post from me but will show you what I mean http://www.rwg.cc/members/DSN172-Dial-t78830.html BTW I went back to my original dial after 4 days

Definitely be after a 205a FGD, I'm just running out of cases for the rest

5 min fix, You just need to rebuild your keyless works, only thing to watch is when you remove the top plate that the yoke spring doesn't go awol. Azerbyjam's link is great for your needs

lovely looking 029 I've been trying hard to avoid getting a GMT Pam, looks like thats out the window

I'm sure the correct way would be to take a measurement & work to that but I usually just sand down to around half the original size The only problem with my way of doing it is you may take too much off & the hands could touch so don't get too heavy handed with it, I would normally do a dry run of fitting the hands without the dial so I know roughly how much is needed to come off & anyway its not a huge deal to fit them then take them off again to take some more off. Tools for the job are highly technical , my wife's nail file(the sandpaper looking one's) & a small round needle file to gently deburr it.
