  1. This is the last buffalo strap 130/80 26, please consider this added to the fund raiser Admin, mods let me know where you want it sent too or how the fund raising will work. @ POTR, it is a pleasure to help out.
  2. Ahh the fun starts, but plese try to take your time, some times getting a rep is like sex, you can jump for the first good looking one in the bar but when you are sober!!!!!, take the time to get to know them, hey in the past i have jumped for the one that had the reputation, and walked the walk but when it cam down to it she could just not talk the talk, and i am not talking about watches!
  3. Another winner pho but not as evil as the Pam 666
  4. Try searching for bob straps, and also look at ebay for waccex.
  5. Welcome, my advice spend some time before you spend your cash!
  6. I wpould recomend fine wet and dry paper for that and then try to re turn the finsh by using a lath but failing that i am going to try a valve lapping tool, basicaly a rubber sucker like a kids arrow
  7. Hi man nice informative review, i has a simlilar loose inner bezel so i put an extra oring in under the crown the and tightened it up as much as i could and it made it a lot better.
  8. Just search the bay for refinishing pen or scratch removeal ect
  9. Hi and welcome, be carefull it will take over your life! Wait till you buy a Panerai
  10. I have spent a couple of hours looking at gen Ingys and trying to find any improvements that could be made over the last couple of days and have found two easy fixes. 1. The finish at the bottom of the bezel holes is pretty rough and not as clean as it could be, Also when you pollish with cape cod you get a lot of residue in the bottom and eventualy it need a good clean and polish, Easy solution guys and girls, take half a wooden tooth pick and put it in your dremil chuck, turn to a relitivly slow speed and use the tooth pick to polish the bottom and sides of the hole, replace tooth pick as and when required as it will flatten off and turn black with the dirt in the hole. use a clean on in the end just to get right in the corners by hand to finish off. 2. The ends of the bracelet pins should have a turned finish to them and be shiny, Easy solution 2 take each pin out individualy put it in the chuck of a drill, i used a rechargable that was not too fast. Take some fine 600 grade emmery paper and gently hold it to the end of the rotating pin, use a bit of pressuer but be aware of pushing too hard and pushing the pin throught the paper, once you have a nice turned finish take a bit of old cape cod and with the pin still turning give a light polish and clean with a clean cloth and then do the other end. I took me about an hour to do the whole band and it looks far better. Please take care when using power tools in this way it is too easy to get a bit of clothing caught in a rotating chuck or some thing in your eye, and also if you dont have a keyless chuck please remove the key before you start the drill, I have seen lots of workshop accidents and they are never funny or nice. Take care. I will try to take some photos to show the effects. I did and they are my usual crap but i hope you can see the difference Happy tinkering
  11. Some times the anticipation is the best bit, remember christmas when you were a kid!
  12. Well if you look for a flaw then i would say that as a 6538 it should be an officaily certified chronometre, and mayby a red triangle on the incert, but as you based it in the bond clip, possibly a 5510, then a gilt second hand, but as rolex pretty well built with what they had to hand in a lot of cases it could have either, i do think after looking at many photos the lume could fill the marker lines more but the photos i am looking at have proberbly been relumed during servicing over the last 50 years any way. I think you have a fantastic looking watch that will astound many a collector.
  13. pssst, wana buy a folded link 7836 nos bracelet?
  14. The 4813 is the same size as the 2813 (slow beat) with the same date wheel and all, the only difference between the two is the beat rate
  15. You will need to swap the overlay from the noob 2813 to this.
  16. Thanks T
  17. They used to have it, i think they typoed it look for 8413, but i found it and linked here, i am pretty sure this is it
  18. That really is a monster plexi, i would be so scared of bashing it on every door i went past
  19. Any think simple thin and elegant on balack leather would fit, the FA Jones i think would be perfect, may be an aqua terra on black leather or even an explorer 1. How about the Glasshutte that Narikaa just posted
  20. You have Pet munchkin?????? I know your real name!!!! Your Charley and you own a chocolate factory!
  21. Welcome from germany.
  22. I have just swapped back to this after the railmaster since friday night and i was amazed to find that this and the railmaster after 2 days were within 3 seconds of each other after i set them both together on friday night, I am happy with that.
  23. Three Italian nuns die and go to heaven. At the Pearly Gates, they are met by St. Peter. He says, 'Sisters, you all led such exemplary lives that the Lord is granting you six months to go back to earth and be anyone you wish to be The first nun says, 'I want to be Sophia Loren;' And *poof* she's gone. The second says, 'I want to be Madonna and *poof* she's gone. The third says, 'I want to be Sara Pipalini..' St. Peter looks perplexed. 'Who?' he ask 'Sara Pipalini,' replies the nun. St. Peter shakes his head and says, 'I'm sorry, but that name just doesn't ring a bell.' The nun then takes a newspaper out of her habit and hands it to St. Peter . St. Peter reads the paper and starts laughing. He hands it back to her and says. 'No sister, the paper says it was the ' Sahara Pipeline' that was laid by 1,400 men in 6 months.' If you laugh, you're going straight to hell!
  24. Sunday Morning Sex I will never hear church bells ringing again without smiling... Upon hearing that her elderly grandfather had just passed away, Katie went straight to her grandparent's house to visit her 95-year-old grandmother and comfort her. When she asked how her grandfather had died, her grandmother replied, He had a heart attack while we were making love on Sunday morning.' Horrified, Katie told her grandmother that 2 people nearly 100 years old having sex would surely be asking for trouble. Oh no, my dear,' replied granny. 'Many years ago, realizing our advanced age, we figured out the best time to do it was when the church bells would start to ring. It was just the right rhythm. Nice and slow and even. Nothing too strenuous, simply in on the Ding and out on the Dong.' She paused to wipe away a tear, and continued, 'He'd still be alive if the ice cream truck hadn't come along.'
