  1. it will be good to stop corrosion
  2. That is a loverly bit of watch miking there, look after it, why not get a glass dome and use it as a desk watch
  3. here to a 1000 more, prost
  4. Thanks Amstaff i dont know what it is about links to joshes site but they only take me to the front page, but i found it from there, do these bracelets taper from 24 to 22 or are they 24 all the way round, i thing the gens taper dont they, looks damn good though. anyone want to buy a sub????
  5. Have you got a link to this one i have had a look on joshes site but cant find it, never had a pam chrono but as i say that looks good!
  6. They cant be smaller than my daughters wrists and she was 10 when she made this pam and that does not look out of place, buy a 40mm one and it will be even smaller and here is another one Narikaa has these 40mm pams for £68 in fact i may buy one for my daughter
  7. No let us also not forget them, but also the many lives that have been affected since, and us all learn a bit of tolerance.
  8. Thanks TJ, i will keep them in mind, i may just go and buy a brand new noob just for the case as i know it all fits together in that case, then i can let you have the movement, dial and bracelet and you can build a new sub. Oh by the way email on the way to you about another matter.
  9. you can get the aqua terra in (gen) 34mm, 39mm, 42mm, only the 39mm ones have been repped to a good standard, i used to have about 6 of them at the highpoint of my At collecting phase and a the gen, the 39mm rep was literlay 99% of the gen, the the railmaster, 99.8% of thhe gen, and they do not wear large. I would sujest you get round a few jewelers and try on some gens and then come back with a better idear of what you like, also we all started looking for watches that fitted our skinny wrist, then we all bought 47mm fiddys and realised we could wear what ever we wanted.
  10. Omega railmaster or Aqua terra? New datejust or milgause or get a vintage sub they wear smaller than a modern one
  11. I think Eurotimes spoke about a drilled case but i am not sure he ever made one, you are right about a better case, i used the noob case because i had it laying round, but i am open to better cases of course if one comes up, I will be drilling the lugs mu self and i dont see as much as a mess up second time round, the big problem was getting the hold started on the sloping surface but i think i have that sorted now by fixing the case so that the case side is flat to start the hole off then reverting to the correct angle when the hole is about 0.5mm deep
  12. Some times people give you thing and you really have to build something from it. Well Tribal gave me a 16800 dial one day and i have been trying to make something from it for a while now, but work and other projects have been getting in the way and also i have had a night mare drilling the lug holes in the neeb case (looking for a new case if any one has one) but last night i finaly got it together with the crapo case and insert to see how it would look and i think it looks pretty good aprart from the parts already mentioned with the siblings behind The recipe is Noob case with badly drilled lugs and a mashed insert swiss 2836 clarke hands Vintageised but not to match the dial (i have seen so many in real life that dont so i wanted this look) Leather bund type strap (very compfy) I dont know where the dial is from but it looks good to my amature eyes almost no lume to it either and a capachino texture to the lume So a big thank you to Tribal for the dial, Stephane for the bug of vintage rolex that i picked up on EU GTG 1 but it took me 2 years to realise i had it, and a big thanks to all for the info that i get here every day.
  13. I will be wearing the new one, 16800, not quite finished as i still need a new case for it (i realy messed up the lugs drilling the lug holes) so if any one has a spare noobmarina case or complete watch let me know please with the siblings behind So if any one has a spare 53150 bracelt, a decent insert and a noob case i am in the market to get this finished
  14. Ubi you got to build it with an offer like that
  15. a very nice watch indeed, just keep it as original as you can, and take lots of photos for us
  16. Good work mate, i am just going through bezel fitting trouble on my 36mm franken 1016 project
  17. Pretty poor show by the seller, does he want to own up?
  18. how hot did you make it mate I did this one a while ago it had 30 min on the hotplate on full power but it polishes away quite easliy
  19. will a cyclops 116 fit these as i just got a decent version of these for another member at a good price here are the dimentions
