  1. ebel 1911. Just the best. Love mine, daily beater. Noone asks "is it real"
  2. Ill do the photoshopping better next time
  3. Sailing with my 390 today ..
  4. First off, welcome to the forum! You found the search button, great (most dont). Who has the best sub is the most common question around here. Try reading for atleast three weeks instead of three hours. They maybe you will know. But as another poster said, the n00b sub is a good starting point. The BK sub is based on the n00b, so for little money you will get an idea of how good the replicas are. Have fun P.s And for the love of god. There are other brands than Rolex (that wont get you called out every other hour)
  5. I started out with a square file to get the edges straight, then moved on to sandpaper to sort out the rough edges that the file made. Last i used a nailfile for the finishing touch. I just took of the CG from the case and placed it firm in a movement holder so it didnt wiggle around. Im curious how projectologist did it though, his CG corners are perfect.
  6. Its not as good as yours, but i think im happy now. Thnx for the help.
  7. Great job there. Im going to try the dremel as collet and sand away. Easier to get a flat surface if you sand it down to the collet edge as you did. Thnx for the tip. Just sandpaper to sharpen the corners of the CG or with a dremel tool? Im really scared to sand of to much
  8. Awsome, thnx for the information. You learn something new everyday here
  9. Wow that pin looks great. Did it look like that OTB? Here is mine. I think im happy now. Dont dare to sand anymore using my hand. The egdes gets rounded so easy.
  10. So typical, i had a bad pin from the factory. Oh well, back to sanding...
  11. Time for a new wristie! Still a 390 Just a reminder. Write what watch you have on your wrist. Then it will show up in search results. It benefits to all who is looking for a new watch and want to se how it looks on the wrist. Now show em
  12. Looks great, im impressed. Sorry im a n00b, but the dial print has a "rolex" logo? Can somone teach me why that is the case
  13. I did some more work on the pin, it looks a tad better now. Really, really hard to sand the surface by hand and get it totaly flat. Might go over it with a dremel later on.
  14. HI all, I am home alone working this easter weekend, so ofcourse i started to fiddle around with my 390 (instead of working). I love the watch, but i am not happy with the CG or lever pin. The CG inner walls are uneven and the leverpin is not flushed with the CG or polished as the gen is. Been sanding away and polished the lever pin, but i dont dare to do more. It is really, really hard to get the lever pin surface flat. When you sand down your lever pin, how do you do it? Below is a gen 390, and mine. I would say its a big difference. Happy easter boys and girls! gen Rep
  15. Go Hike!! Btw he is back now, you can change watch But really nice that you wear this and post about it. Now i want a Explorer ;=)
  16. Hm i maybe had 5-10 reps before i tryed the n00b sub. Had to se what all the fuzz was about. Gave it to my gf, couldnt stand the "its a fake" comments... .. But now im looking at the explorer I, a true classic.. and understated. Probably my next watch if they dont rls the superocean II 44mm soon..
  17. Waiting for a new Noob whitey..
  18. Rolex and Pam in the wristie section it seems today. Finaly got the dial color right on the 390
  19. My new serviced 390 lasts for 48+ hours. But i still wind it every morning. Its a joy
  20. Oh trust me i would pose if i had a ferrari.. but i get your point Anyway welcome to the forum. You might (as us) spend ALOT more time here then what is healthy
  21. wow great qc pics. Wich dealer provide thoose?
