  1. Looks good you should be proud
  2. Well at least he is still alive, i hope he gets better soon, that is not because i am waiting for work from him, im not , i just hope he gets better.
  3. I dont know they did the anti mag cover for the for the UPO and SMP
  4. Whats sex my missus is always asleep by the time i finish reading the new posts
  5. But that gen did not have the thin black out line by the pearl triangle i think, but defiantly not as good as what we call the UPO
  6. The problem is that it is sooooooooo simple to make they are bound to [censored] it up like spell IWC wrong.
  7. Thought as much, dident matter as soon as i saw the pic i mailed him to buy it, have been looking for a 177 for ages in TI, the 111 are ok but i just dont like it as it is polished. I want this as a nice hard work watch, this is going to get weathered the hard way, Winter on a bike!
  8. Ok me confused now, if that is the 5513, then what is the model number for the no date without CGs coin edge bezel, 330ft/100m that we refer to as the bond sub or connery sub ????
  9. Can any one tell me the difference between the 111 and 177h apart from the 111 has a polished ss case and the 177 is TI, talking about one with a sandwich dial, it there a difference in the dial i am not seeing?? what made me think was this post by TTK
  10. HE valve too low, wrong logo, and the bracelet looks flat not curved like the UPO also the pearl looks to be too pronounced.
  11. You may find some better info in the VIP room here, there are some collectors there who seem very trustworthy!
  12. My 007 PO and a Vintage explorer 2, unfortunately one of the lumes from the markers came a drift on the EX 2 in the post so it already at a local watch maker should have it back Monday, Wrong hand stack but black surrounds on the markers, real good looking watch. (For my wife)

    Gutted

    I was going to say look in the fridge but pug beat me too it. I once spent a whole night looking for a torx 20 screw driver (i have only one) to do a job on my bike 4 hours later i found it in the back pocket of my overalls, i mean this thing is 8 inches long but could not find it in my own pocket!
  14. Ah me to now it is out of the bag, 007 PO from Silix. Love it, usual things bezel just a touch out but i am happy, Thanks Jay
  15. It is so easily over looked, sorry to have pointed it our really, My mum never noticed on hers. If any one ever gets such a close looks and wants to call you out, they are close enough to grab round the wind pipe and poke there eyes out, that way they will know it is rude to do such things.
  16. I think i would be happy with a selita, with out the date wheel issues of cause, I believe that we will see more of these in the future, i only have a few concerns about qc, An ETA weather chiss or swinese has been made in an ETA factory and as such well checked over, how are the selita movement find in there way in to reps, is it a very back door! or are they subjet to some QC?
  17. Some thing from this package i think, this my first new watch since my railmaster, bought lots for other people but this is mine.
  18. I dont know if it is the photo but is your dial not quite in the middle as well, it looks like the space between the outer black line and the rehaute is grater at the bottom than the top?
  19. I have ordered 2, one for my mum and one for the wife of a friend, both are very good, but the dial on both was a touch off centre. These were both the Daydate though, salmon dial, stick markers, both keep perfect time( as reported by the owners both ladys over 50, when asked how many seconds out a day they just look at me blankly, my mum has not reported being late for work once) They are the mens versions though as with failing eyesight this is easier to read than a small version.
  20. A teacher asks her class to use the word "contagious". >> Roland the teacher's pet, gets up and says, "Last year I got the measles >> and my mum said it was contagious." >> "Well done, Roland," says the teacher. "Can anyone else try?" >> Katie, a sweet little girl with pigtails, says, "My grandma says there's >> a bug going round, and it's contagious." >> "Well done, Katie," says the teacher. "Anyone else?" >> Little Sean jumps up and says in a broad Dublin accent, "Our next door >> neighbour is painting his house with a 2 inch brush, and my dad says >> it will take the contagious.
  21. Many soldiers died on all sides, we should remember them all, the victors and the defeated, They are soldiers too.
