  1. Yes, I know this piece. OP really champions top notch put togethers ... I loved her as is...but of course in this hobby, there's always something more one can do. Do her justice my friend!
  2. wow, love the pure classic. Gotta look into... errr.... never mind (hand on wallet!).
  3. Thanks for the pointers - coming from you long-timers I take your advice readily!
  4. I'd love Snead but he said he's busy... Just checked sgtguk... Balls NOTmade of steel... Will use a modded or my smithy. Would prefer one of our guys... Other recommendations for TRUSTWORTHY CONUS folk?
  5. Wolf* ... pretty sure you're thinking of the red beveled Sub C!
  6. Standard rep mov in BP GMT IIc. Pretty sure will need to clip feet also. Not sure how hard that is. I regularly clip my nails...
  7. I have a gen GMT IIc dial coming and will be installing it on the rep movement. What's going to be the process and should a noob (on mods) dare do such a thing? TIA
  8. For the most part they are. Angus and BoroT don't have them now.
  9. I'm working on a Franken GMT IIc and am not liking having everything visually tidy but an ICHS on the kisser. If you have a non-exploding CHS movement for permanent borrow I'd like to hear from you. Can't seem to find one...at least not right now..from a TD. TIA.
  10. Aside from the GMT hand - are the hands on the Sub the same as the GMT? If so - can TC's hands go on a BP GMT?
  11. Good looking piece. Love this and whitey.
  12. markiemark - someone else did the build - I'm just enjoying the fruits of the hybred. spanster23 - yup, H18's are well made straps and easy to wear considering the "heft" of PAM straps in general. Enjoy yours...
  13. Panerai153 nailed it... Best wishes for you and those you care for.
  14. I wouldn't either... TC is a stickler for details and quality (don't we know)... When he says his movement runs as good as ETA I'm inclined to take his word for it and jump on a type II with full confidence. So, I await my type II and will par it with a new gen black dial all for $700. Either get $150 plus the TC in trade or keep the Breit and save for a newer TC. my .02
  15. Sorry to here about that Mod... not your IWC is it?
  16. I think you did a great job showing the two. I'd take Trusty's 93250 and throw it on TCs bracelet and be done (if the stamping should be there... I... don't... know).
  17. I still like TZ for some things...once and awhile a good deal on a gen or nice strap...the brand specific forums are good to see new watches...some interesting travel stories/photo shoots are manufacturers sites or shows... And watch reviews. I even wrote one once... http://forums.timezone.com/index.php?t=tree&goto=5850321&rid=0#msg_5850321 I agree though the new watch wrist shots and predictable comments grow old quickly...
  18. Sorry about this, but that's why they call it an Explorer.... You get it and then go hunt for parts
  19. Funny really...our reps get genner...while their gens get repper. The 50/50 watches are for the indecisive! Lol
  20. Trf is a good source. It was not a steal... But I was happy to have just picked up a new black 16610 insert for $200. Ill put this on my LV when it comes in a few weeks. I asked TC to just put the LV insert on the side. Many gen owners switch to black just from preference so its no "tell".
  21. Congrats - nice watch - long time member.
