Bigdoggy

Overboosted, How did he communicate during this long stretch of time and what excuse did he offer relative to why it is taking so long? He had my 1680 for about a month - told me that he had 70/100 ahead of me and that he would PM me when he started. He did exactly that and called when he started on the watch. I received it about a week after he called. We communicated by phone several times. I was VERY please with the results!!! If you read all the posts in this topic, it reminds me of a giant puzzle - missing several pieces. I hope that you get your 6263 back!!!!!

If you look at PT's description of the piece, he describes it as "Movement in this piece is swiss ETA 2836" I heven't removed the back but I believe, based on his description that the movement is the standard brass colored Swiss ETA 2836.

Tribal - In answer to your question, I absolutely no idea.

The lume is fair to good. It is about 60% as bright as a Gen immediately after charging it up for 30/40 seconds. After 10/15 minutes the glow is about the same. After that both my Gen & Rep glow softly for several hours. The BIG difference are the 1st 15 minutes or so after "luming them up". No contest - the Gan wins by a mile - after that - about the same. No lume shots.

His service was OUTSTANDING - answered all PM's PROMPTLY - Shipping took 4 days door to door over a Holiday weekend. Although the bracelet looked great, I removed it and worked on it for about 30 minutes with fine rubbing compound - then soaked it in sewing machine oil overnight. I also worked in the edges of the bracelet for a bit - especially the clasp. The change in the look and "feel" was amazing. I was astounded at the "black crud" that came off.

"Great watch, my wife is wearing it." Simply OUTSTANDING pics. Although the crystal that comes on these isn't bad, you'll LOVE the look of that 127 sitting high above the watch.

Just received the Ultimate limited edition Sub. LV from Precious Time. Enjoy the pics.

Joe: What will be the cost to do this on a watch that you already modded? You installed a Gen dial on my MBW 1680.

What do you do in the Winter when the sun goes away. I LOVE the Daytona.

"No matter, what I'm most impressed with is the quality of the color (so rich!) and detail in your pix. I'm now convinced that fluorescent lighting is the way to go, I'm using regular light bulbs in swan neck desk lamps for my mini studio set up and I think the color of the pics comes out looking kinda muddy and dead." These were straight out of the camera - no touch up. I cropped several of these and downsized them so that I could upload them to Imageshack.

You know, I honestly don't know. I saw the pic. of the homemade light box setup posted by a guy over at TZ - saw the lights in a Mom & Pop used camera store a couple of weeks later and bought them. They have a small florescent bulb in each fixture about 10/12 inches long and 1/2 inch in diameter. In any event, they work great.

"I know it's a Rolex subforum, but here's my combo (as seen elsewhere)" Bad Ass watch & EQUALLY Bad Ass companion!!!!!

This was the only pair. They were used & I just stumbled on to them.

absolutely stunning

Joe: Camera is an HP 5M Pixal Series 945. I saw this setup on another forum & copied it almost exactly. Works great. This is the one I copied. I bought the lights at a camera store used - for $15 each they are almost identical to the ones pictured here.

Thank you Pugwash for your excellant tutorials
