Very I wont do it again! This month

what do you think the mover driver said some thing along the lines of Oooops?

Face to face, or after this amount of time a face to fist, or a forehead to face, or mayby if you took him a nice bottle of wine like what people do to the rolex AD when they want to get on the waiting list for a daytona.

I say go round in person!

That is a looker for sure

I am supprised this has gone so long forgotten, admin will be happy

Great comparison photos Lani, it really highlights the difference AR makes

Great looking watch, now where did i put that spare black bird case

I am trying to get some of these in Europe at the moment if i have any luck in the next couple of days i will let you know

I would say that with a watch as good as the steel fish it is a shame NOT to get the best version, it is astonishing how good this watch is!

Looks like a modded ETA by the reversing wheels and auto winding bridge

A new dial is the answer to that problem.

I got mine from ebay, it is a reprint but just as good as an original, I will PM you the seller

My best suggestion would be to get a copy of Henry B fried's book, "The watch repairers manual", part 7 pages 97 to 128, in there it lists every thing you would need to know, but you would need some specialists tools like a lathe and staking kits. The book is worth every penny, If i was going to be around next week i would copy it and post it over but i will be away from the office unfortunatly

For $128 not bad by a long way

Save a bit more and get a SFSO, or get a used one

I would say that the small finishing touches would be the hard work, i am sure that a good CNC mill could cut the 3D case spot on but you try to finish it to the same standard by hand with out the experience of doing it day in day out!

I have a serious modded fiddy that i never wear if you are interested? It is in germany but still no customs issues and can be fast

good point photeeees please

Hold on to your wallet Nig, spend some time before you spend your cash, it is hard not to spend a fortune in the first couple of months.

Very authentic looking i would wear that with pride!

Looks good!

My daughter has problems picking up jeans, in fact she has problems picking any thing up that she has left on here room floor

Gulp what a photo, what a watch
