looks great for your first i would wear it, Pics are ok too, better than mine! Dont get too concerned if people critisise the most minute detail here, it is what they do. Enjoy that watch and get it wet.

This being my 1000th post i thought i try to find some thing out we might all find interesting. What i would like to do is compile a list of all the reps we have that have survived contact with a pool or the sea, i know we just had the PO listing but this is all rep watches from a cheep Canal st one to the modern super (price) reps. I dont mean this to be a list for noobs to use as material to complain to collectors because their rep leaked after all these are reps and not subject to a lot if any QC. What i would like members here to do is reply to my next post and add to the list with you name, watches where it has been in the water and what you did to it in the hope it would survive. Like this Me, IWC grand complication, Mariana trench, Checked the back was on. This may provide some confidence in the reps we have, as so far i have found all my seven sports reps to at least be pool proof. many thanks for your time and responces.

Any body reported it yet?

Well it appears that it is holding well, had it on all day and it has not fallen off. What it required was the holes in the SEL elongating towards the watch end of the SEL, it wreched the cutting heads on my dremil but they only cost a couple of euros, what do the modders here use to cut drill or gring SS. While i was in the garage i pollished the sides of the links on my noobmariner bracelet, great effect, question though do 16610 have polished sides to the links? Time spent with fine wet and dry (wet) paper pays dividends when doing this. I used a polishing wheel and white ss polish that i got from work in kilo sized bricks. A couple of photos below i hope you can see the difference, im not the best photographer as i am to lasy to get a camera so i keep using my mobile phone.

From what i have seen on the bay they generaly use asian works, i would not be supprised if it was using one of the seagull new big dates.

I just spent the last 3 hours gettin a upo bracelet to fit a silix 007 PO, the pin holes dident line up so it required some curved spring bars and nasty modding the bracelet, looks great now, i found over the last 4 weeks i found the PO looked cheep on Rubber, its a lot nicer on SS. But oh what a [censored], sizing the bracelet peice cake though.

Thanks Fred, arrived today, great to deal with you.

That it the thing higher echelon comd elements play a major roll in the planning of SF ops, normaly SF ops are only planned by the highest level. The soldiers them selfs in most Sf are VERY good, but in the wrong place at the wrong time or with the wrong info can do very little to efect the strategic battle, the level that they are best employed.

Welcome, to Proberberly the best rep forum in the world.

I remember a teacher at school telling me that the first time mesurement device was a burning rope or string???????? Would stone henge also count it was after all used to detemine the time of year acuratly so there for a time mesurement device, although i think the sun predates that!

Not normally, i have all good luck, you might too.

I just got some, 5 euros in a hobby shop about 20 miles away, i was in the area and walked in asked and there it was. t is apparently made not far from here either!

It looks good, i just hope the lume is decent. We see these watches come but there is always a small flaw somwhere, look at the UPO, just about perfect but sort out the logo. The SFSO great watch but missing the lume markers on the inner bezel ring (forgot its real name, datum?) Please Angus this looks great but don't forget the details we find important, the rest of the world would never know but this watch is focused at the collectors here who see the smallest detail, not at a drunk tourist in Pataya.

That is my point, i have tried looking through ofie for bits and find it hard, but with the cousins it is easy to see and find what you want. The only problem is the postage costs the cheapest option for me is about

Is this stuff any good, are you using it for reluming? i assume so, is it better than normal rep lume?

I asked at my local small opticians and jeweller if he worked on watches, he has an old watch smith that comes to the shop the odd day a week and does works, he was happy to work on reps, i am trying to work my way round to meeting him but his working times co inside with mine, i would like to sit down with him and see if he would like to pass on his trade to me.

Well it looks like you started in the right place and know what to look for too. Enjoy that watch and many more.

I have reported this to admin it happened a couple of weeks ago as well, dont worry he will fix it but he has a life too.

Mnnnnn i remember a few opps they would rather we all forget.

I am hoping that the rep valagrange movment might be able to be used to at least get the date far enough out.

See that is what i like about it here, [censored] perfect on the ball, never asleep mods and admin. I wub you all

Bugger double post.
