  1. Indeed, we will be selling tickets to the hall window.
  2. What exactly are you asking? I think we are missing the question and are answering what we think you're asking. The picture is a Glucydor balance on an ETA 2836-2.
  3. Indeed. It says it on the movement.
  4. Ah, yes, but you remove movements with the intention of stripping them down and as such will be releasing the main spring as part of the job. For us mere mortals, we need the watch stopped so we can put the hands back on in the right place.
  5. Eh? Show me an incorrect Sub font and I'll probably be able to show you a genuine that uses the same font. Rolex fonts can vary somewhat. Real font or replica?
  6. Hack is time-setting, yes.
  7. My most convincing rep is now the one below. I defy anyone to spot a fault on the wrist. There are still two tells, but neither is noticable on a friday or saturday afternoon, for instance.
  8. Um, huh? The word is Glucydur, not Glycodor. That should help with your googlings. Nickel is silver-coloured and Glucydur is copper-coloured.
  9. I now have 16 reps and two cheap Gens (Seiko and Poljot, both autos) and wear most of them. I have a few I'm considering getting rid of, including the VC fantasy (far right) and blue Omega in the middle, but they're not accurate reps so I doubt I'd get much for them. I'll probably give the Omega to my younger brother and flip the VC on one of the forums in an interesting and original way. The two Rollies top left get no wrist time at all, but I like having them around. The Omega SMP-GMT doesn't get anywhere as near as much wrist time as it deserves and I'll have to consider finding a home for it so it gets the respect it deserves. The MoonWatch, Navi, PortoChrono, GST and 196 seem to hog wrist time as I think I like Chronos, and the 111h is taking a back seat now I have the 183, but that'll probably stabilise. The Rolex Sub and GMT get worn regularly too, and I don't think I'd be happy if they weren't there. The Breguet is an excellent watch but it gets near zero wrist time. I think I need to keep it around as one day I know I'll need a fancy dress watch but if I had a Viagra Jones, I could flip it.
  10. It was.
  11. Superb stuff!
  12. This is the reason I'm not in horrendous debt but with a much desired IWC and Omega on each wrist. I'll convince her it'll be a good idea soon, but not today.
  13. Have you considered the clear dial I mentioned in your other thread?
  14. You, the admin team, can make a 'suggestion' and leave it to the members to enforce.
  15. Apart from any credit card transaction fees, and they're stuck with the cash in Paypal and not their account.
  16. Asian ETAs? Swiss ETAs?
  17. Try a clear plastic dial
  18. Next Paris GTG, I'll bring this IWC for you to see.
  19. The Sapphire crystal will not scratch, but the bezel and case will, and you'll screw up the AR coating. If you were to try this with a Genuine PO, the owner would force-feed you your testicles. Are people that ignorant where you are?
  20. The missing white paint is only really noticeable in enlarged photos and the day wheel has never bothered me. I'd rather have missing paint and no noticeable way of knowing it's a rep than the usual tells. ps. Pics of your daywheel? I am considering sending you my watch.
  21.
