  1. Can't help you on the watches but at least I can fix your white balence on the picture. Not perfect but better to see your lovlies. Usil
  2. Welcome to the forum. Usil
  3. I just sent an email to them. I hope they provide some support for the trip. Offshore - did you send them his web address? I forgot to do this. Usil
  4. Reading these makes my day. I am right there with you on each narative. By the way, seriously, you should call Tim Horton and send them your story. I bet they would sponsor you. A little extra cash can't hurt. Hope you are not too sore from the crashes. I hate road rash. Usil

    SOSF?

    Not on mine but they are highly reflective so they are going to pick up colors of what ever is around them. Relax and enjoy the watch. Usil
  6. Sorry, I have to ask - what are they in this circle? Usil
  7. Two completely different watches in terms of size. If you like the bigger watch then the XXL is way cool. Also, a more rugged look. The Jones has more of a classy, dressy look. Also, there is so much square footage of lume space on the XXL it glows pretty good. Usil
  8. This is getting to be a pretty expensive hobby. Usil
  9. Man, that is like teaching yourself surgery. I suppose it can be done. But lots of reading, maybe a course or two. If I tried that it would be a disaster for sure. Usil
  10. First, before handing over a rep (make sure this is not an authorized dealer), ALWAYS ask if they have an issue with working on reps. If they say no or ask what you want done just say that you need the bracelet resized and have been told it is a difficult one because of the tight pins. Do this on the phone. If they say - sure bring it is then you got it made. Keep calling till you find one. A small independant is best. I have no idea on the charge - you will have to ask them. Tools to do this are not too expensive if you plan to get more reps then you will need them. Uisl
  11. Omeega I love them Omeegas. Usil
  12. Don't risk any rep unless you are prepared to loose it to water or have it water tested at a watch repair shop. Usil
  13. Make sure to show pictures to us before and after. This can be an important tutorial for all of us. Tell us what you did, what you used, the process and what was the results. Usil
  14. Amen to that. Could this be put to them? Who can try to talk about this change? Usil
  15. Hey, Monty, Looks like you got a nail in your tread. Check your 5th picture. Usil
  16. No doubt, it is a beautiful watch. Wear it well. Usil
  17. This is an international forum and open to all who love reps. If someone does not speak English well or not at all, what is the big deal to let them participate. Most of us don
  18. I have done three UPO's and used the method below without issues. You will need several tools. Removing: 1. A pin removal tool that has a thick pin. This is needed to start the pin out of the bracelet so that the removal pin does not bend in the process. 2. The pin tool above will only get it out about half way so you will need another pin tool with a longer pin to get it out a little further. You need to get it out at least 3/4 of the way to start using pliars (carefully) to remove it the rest of the way. 3. Using pliars, pull straight out. If it is not already at least 3/4 the way out it is very likly you will break the pin. Replacing: 1. Align the bracelet and using pliars, start the end of the pin a little into the bracelet. Make sure you use some oil on the pin before inserting into the bracelet. Slowly, push straight. It should go in at least 1/4 to 1/2 way. From here on it is impossible to get any further unless you use a small jewlers/watch hammer to lightly and repetatively tap the end of the pin the rest of the way in. You must do this a little at a time and make sure you tap exactly vertically so as not to bend the pin. The plastic end of the hammer can be used at the start but you will probably find that the end of the pin start to embed into the resin and you will have to change to the metal end of the hammer as it gets harder to move the pin. A note on the pliars. Use carefully so as not to scar or bend the pin. I used a pair that had flat on the end with no teeth. This is the procedeure I used on all three UPO's and it worked each time. But, you have to have the tools and don't even start to do this unless you do. Good luck. You will need it. Usil
  19. Andere haben dies geschehen lassen. Hoffentlich werden sie antworten und werden Ihnen erz
  20. To be safe and avoid frustration, head to the local hardware store and ask for LokTite. They have it in little tubes in the US and in Europe and probably everywhere. Get the kind that can be removed if you have to as opposed to the kind that is supposed to be permanenet. Take the time to do this, apply to each of the bracelet screws and you are good to go. You will hate yourself if you loose any screws. Usil
  21. I think this is going to be tricky. Most of the Titainium reps I have seen have varrying degrees of finish that all look different (rough, smooth). Removing the ding is probably not going to be difficult but recreating the same finish as the rest of the watch will probably take some experimentation. You may even find that you will have to refinish the entire watch to make it look the same. If this occurs, look to match the finish of a gen and not the rep. Good luck. Usil
  22. Not cool but don't let him get to you. Bentley reps are great looking watches and yeah, we know their reps and we still wear them. Usil
  23. There must be something wrong with me because if I had that I would find myself reaching for the Dremel and the polish. I take it that that would be a bad thing. Usil
  24. I would bet that if you spend more time reviewing the better reps you will find one you like. A lot of us started out with the cheap stuff and it sets in our drawers today as we got better watches and better movements. Save your money and get ONE good rep and it will be miles above what you have and you will feel totally different about wearing it;
  25. Way better than the original. Great work. Usil
