  1. Red sub from last week sailing
  2. I am 99% sure i will be there but i will have to check with work, Guys if you have never attended a GTG before i really recommend them, is is so good to put faces to names and make this virtual place we spend so much time in a little bit real.
  3. well they make promises they wont keep, so will i
  4. A 5512 pic from last week
  5. that is the standard mbw lume blob (great time sailing first conection in days just to check weather)
  6. The pearl on the white is an ofrie on the red it is one i made
  7. Happy ramadan A point to note not all muslims are terrorists, I have lost plenty of comrads over the past 16 years of conflict in the east but tolerance is the solution, the enemy we fight in fundamentalism not any religion
  8. Na time to sleep when i die, I am driving to Kiel in 30 min to go sailing, you want to see me at a GTG
  9. now got it on a 78768 vintage SD bracelet if there was a decent rep 1675 it would be on the list but so far not much out there. let see what happens after the 1016 and the 1655.
  10. I was thinking of selling one of them but i dont think i will now, i like them all
  11. Me too, there are always inaccuracy and if some rolex collector was in a room dark enough for him to comment on my lume then it will be dark enough to smack him and nick his watch May work that one! Nicely done The hands may have been change at a service were the dial may not have been miss-matched hands do happen
  12. Just finished my 5512 MBW case, lugs drilled gen spring bars, gen crown and tube (as this is my old 1680 case but marked 5513) Crown guards modded relumed the dial and tried to get the lume patchy white and brown like tritium that is starting to browm (Tribal thank you very much for the dial) Clarks T19 dome crystal New gaskets and water proof Currently on a bond style nato See when the vintage bug bites it really bites Comming soon, MBW/franken 36mm 1016
  13. Thanks Aligoat the way i am thinking is that using gen crowns and tubes like i did on my white 1680 and the two 1665 and PMWF inserts and OFrei pearls makes what is a fun replica a pretty expensive watch in the end. I know one member has invested over €1000 in a 1680, right now i am thinking i can make a pretty good looking watch for €400 plus time and a bit of lume, I am lucky that i can do all the work myself but when you send it off for this to be modded and that, postage ect these are getting a lot of value. Any way got to go i am working on a 5512 that i want to finish before tonight
  14. The wall on the 703s is very thin and i dont think you have enough metal there to do it, This is a thicker MBW crown, if you want one doing send me the crown an i can do it on my lathe.
  15. Nice one, the chrono issue could be rectified with a service, i am sure.
  16. I wonder if he would have realized it was a rep with out taking the case back off, if you know what to look for it is not hard to spot but if you are not expecting a rep then you would maybe not think it was.
  17. The pin issue is one but Gens POs can also be pretty hard as well. It looks like you will have a happy rep life with a watch maker close by, you will need him from time to time, but as he is impressed then i wont be hard to get his help.
