Pugwash

I cannot stress the importance of getting the AR right on this watch. My brother has one and you can spot it as a gen from a mile off, if you're that way inclined. Putting the gen and rep together in real life, and not in a photo, and you'll spot the deep, deep AR of the gen. It's a blue-black light-sucker.

I think you'll find he pushes Ruby (his protegé) as his favourite dealer. That's just him; the rest of the board all seem to have different choices of top dealer.

If you're looking at a perfect rep, don't forget the Co-Axial movement beats at 25,200 vph, unlike any of the movements available to us. However, if you get the AR right, you can get away with the rest of the faults.

If you import more than one, yes. If you try to avoid excise and tax, yes. This latter example is true of anything, though.

Q: What does it take to change a liberal into a conservative? A: Thirty years.

The markers look aligned to me. It's a very pretty watch with a few faults. The only thing that's even slightly bugging me is the reflective domed crystal. A mild dose of AR would fix it, though. I'm very happy I've finally got a standard time-and-date watch with an unmodded ETA movement. It's something to fall back on, so I expect I'll be regulating it over the next few weeks.

This info would be useful to me too. I'm considering AR.

Here are a few shots of my Precious Time Aquatimer. I'll get a full set of review pics up next week when I have time, but seeing as there are precious few pictures of this replica on here, I thought I'd best do something about it. ETA 2824 Gorgeous Submarine motif Chunky crown and patterned bezel "Oh fishy-fish-arooo, and he went wherever I would go" ... and the preview pic already posted:

I am shockingly unsurprised at your not stocking MBWs. The myth has surpassed the reality. Oh, and if you're in Scotland over xmas, let's get together for a beer.

Superb!

I'd avoid using gen photos unless you want to invite IdealWatches comparisons.

I too was a graphic designer for almost a decade. I'll be trying stuff, but it'll come down to the taste of the client, PT, as opposed to the effort/skill put in. This always makes for an interesting competition as what purist designers see as cluttered or unbalanced is sometimes what the client wants, and in reverse a perfectly executed simple design might not have anywhere near enough flash and pizzaz for the client. I like this challenge, and I hope I have enough time to finish my entry.

It does appear to be 39mm.

Probably my photography. I didn't hide the missing black patch at 55min, though. Faults so far: the crystal could really do with AR. The bezel needs repainting as the gen is grey. The bezel doesn't need pressing to turn. Still, it feels great, comfortable, smooth, shiny, pretty, ETAtastic, with a solid, positive screw-in crown. I'm going to take lots of photos before trying my very first ever case mods: repainting the bezel.

Just arrived from Precious time.

This is why I feel no guilt ad-blocking the Amazon ads. Anyway, did the VIP zone idea get knocked on the head?

Ok, this sounds too geeky for me. I think I need to get me one of them WBM Seadwellers ... with white text, right, Randy?

I was in Nottingham for 9 years (ey up me duck, etc.) and I'm off back to the UK (Glasgow) next year.

April 2007, but I'll be possibly popping over every now and then for work. You know how it is.

Like the Amish.

Hear hear! Because those-in-the-know can get them cheap, this is why they become resellers.

Thanks anyway, Ubi, old chap. Done.

Any idea what stall? Mrs Pugwash is off there this week. Maybe ...

Not a lot. Obviously, I'd have to cover the additional cost of the printing, but I'd be open to suggestions otherwise. I don't value it in the hundreds of dollars, that's for sure. However, it'd possibly make a less interesting watch more interesting.

Excellent! Home address PMed You can even slip my 16610 in with it when you send it. You know which one.
