That is perlage, it is created with a diamond impregnated silicone stick in an upright motor Once it is done it will need nickle plateing (i can do gold plating at the moment but not nickle as i dont have the chemicals, if people wanted this doing then i would get them in) I do perlage the back of dials when i use skeleton movements with dials like in this one CotesDeGeneves finish is created using a large cutting disk and the job set at a slight angle, i cant do this as i dont have the right set up If any one is interested in a hand made skeleton i have this one (seconds at 6)sat around doing nothing right now offers in the €500 area

Reported, can you believe that people are bidding on that POS

Never seen one like that, nice find!

Mad but i love it

And it would work

Non infact there have been reports of these falling to bits, the extra bit to make the balance cock look like a bridge and the cap on the rotor screw falling off It does not matter how the movement looks if it is in a solid case

If you sre going to those lengths then you should get the base plate done with pearlage like the gen Let me know if you need it doing,

Yep and you can hunt pigs with spears, but you cant hunt with a crossbow unless you are handicaped (too easy)

you would still have dust and grit sticking to it, copper slip is used in high temp applications like exaust studs and they should not be moving but your bezel should google teflon spray, you get loads of results in your home areas

I think the booby traps were planks of wood and buckets of stones rather than kettles of fish but you are right about how sad it was to see that he could sue for damages, maybe next time Tony will use some thing with better range an penetration. back to the original idea i have thought about getting one of these to carry round I first got the idea after watching "Lock stock and two smoking barrels" And to avoid strange question just gift wrap it and write your better half's name on the label.

I am sure that Tony Martin feels happy that the situation has changed after he spent his time in jail, what he did was a bit extreme but so was the way he was spending his life before the incident.

Hello mate, I wish to retract my statement about baby oil/oils after thinking about a tread a few days ago. Oils will attract grit and become a grinding paste. A dry teflon lube will not, the propellant will evaporate and leave a dry non sticky lubricant behind

You have a point there TJ But if every one is taught the same then it becomes a mute point as the attacker will know what to expect. We send criminals to prison and they learn to be better criminals, point in case is the Maze in the 70s it was higher educations for terrorists. If in school we teach every one to fight or slf defend the ones who will stray from the straight and narrow will be better equipped to stray

I think this has a lot to do with self defense, would you try to rob your average rugby player

Not sure on the rules for 3 pool balls in a long sock though

carrying pepper or CS spay in UK can be up to 5 years nick. CS used to be ok in Germany as is pepper spray but you are not allowed to use pepper on humans. No you need to have a small weapons license (not hard to get if you can justify it) to carry in public now. ON your own property (including car) you can have quite a variety of things for self defense, using them and getting away with it is the hard part. For the non UK residence reading this, if you have a baseball bat by the bed for self defence, that alone would put you in the wrong in a court if you had used that bad against an intruder.

When ever i go for more than a day away from home i always have 3 watches, A chrono, a handwind dressy watch and an auto sporty watch

And it wont be bad to your skin!!!

A good question TJ A friend of mine was stopped for drink driving a couple of years ago (Fool)but the polices had a good look in his car and tool box and tried to do him for going equipped as he had a stanley knife, a crowbar, and screw divers in his car, he fits and removes windows for a living! In the end he got away with the tools but they did try hard to get him on them. One of the annoying things that UK and i think Germany now enforces is going equipped would include the wearing of body Armour for your own protection, I tell you what there are parts of UK that if i lived there i would want my kids to wear body Armour to school!

Doxa took my eye quite well, very to the point

Try a little drop of oil, for the want of a better oil sewing machine or hair trimmer oil would do the trick

I just posted this on the back of a sales post but it made me think is there a situation where the Ingy would not be at home? and where have you used yours? Lets see some photos in situations, i think the only one where it would not be good is very deep under water or on a space suit I have used mine swimming, sailing, flying, fighting and drinking, it looks good with camouflage or jeans or an Armani suit (from Kemberg) in casino royal, it is unassuming but smart, sporty and classical, i think one of the best Gerald Genta designs ever whether in Bavaria The Czech republic Canada in the snow or the sun In the air On the Sea or under water The Ingy is perfect for any occasion!

Got a link?

That would have been the koln GTG,, (was away in canada for that one) I am not sure if there is a photo any where of the first brussels GTG but Stephanes table was groaning under the weight of watches,and his bar was groaning under the weight of alcohol, I was in emergency mode making sure the bar did not collapse by drinking its contents
