Pugwash

My apologies, I wasn't aware the experts had reached a consensus as to which one Connery actually wore in the movies.

Fantastic news! I'll be honest though. I assumed Cornerstone was already a moderator. Oops.

Sure it works, but I prefer to use proper tools. While sticky balls and duct tape may open anything, when I close them, I want to know I've done it properly.

It's a spring lock. It's actually a sprung blade.

What's more, the French and US revolutionaries were in constant contact and both helped each other define their governments. Yes, it was a remarkably over-simplified view, but that's what you should expect from historians.

I assumed they used their quasi-7753 because the real 7753 doesn't have a quick-change date.

I think you're over-simplifying on several levels. 1: dealers don't make watches - see the dream watch sub forum for more info. 2: The Bond Submariner is a debate, not a watch. What you think is the Bond Sub will be disputed by other fans. Which one of the many variants should you lobby for? 3: Is this one really that bad?

Lemania ... "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."

I think you missed his point. There is no wrong.

Don't forget that you'll need a genuine dial, too. An El Primero project will cost around $3000 and only a third of that will be the movement.

Remind you of anyoe else? Someone from Firenze that made diving watches, got popular and took decades to vary from one simple design?

Yeah, the diver and the wallclock.

Inevitably. Here's all a gentleman thug needs: A Breguet and a flick-knife. Even a Gator would fall to the power of the Marquis of Queensbury and a gentleman's blade.

It's scarier to think I'll get there with ease and without aiming.

Completely wrong. In the UK, we don't have firearms simply because we don't need them. Anyone waves a Sig Sauer p220 at me and they'll get a face full of Stanley.

Superdomes were only used on red dialed SDs. However, you can pretend your SD was a red dial with a RSC dial change to white. "This old thing? Yes, it used to have ugly red writing on it, but when Rolex serviced it last they put a pretty white dial on it. Lovely, isn't it."

Here we go again.

Whuh?

Allegedly.

When did I pass 9000 posts? I'm a little scared.

It's what I'm here for.

I don't understand.

How handy are you with removing and replacing hands and dials? If you're determined to do this but you've had no watchsmithing experience, you'd be better off taking the entire movement/hands/dial from the Asian and putting them in the fancy ETA case.

Why are his pictures so bad? What is he hiding? Avoid, unless they're a bargain and you can get some kind of Escrow thing going on.

Interesting. When is the 28,800vph Monster due out?
