The good part of the good old days - everybody took PayPal, no WU premiums.

The bad part of the good old days - nobody posted prices, had to send out an email, and everybody got a different price.

Porsche 911... they shouldn't have changed the perfect lines.

We will at least agree wholeheartedly on this point.

Never going to give up my red 911SC, a true classic.

However, I may be driving it with my new summertime blue sub on the wrist!

Well I see Rolodex has finally decided to resurrect the summertime blue sub.

All I can say is it's about time!!!

This has always been one of the most beautiful colored subs.

I am sure this will come with the obligatory ceramic bezel and rolodex-rolodex-relodex rehaut.

In white gold retails close to $30,000.

Okay rep factory's, start making them cause I am going to need one of these.

I have the previous version and I must say it is still one of my favorites after all these years.

the blacksteel calls for a completely black strap.

Agree - I have been looking for a Breitling black leather strap with black stitching to go with my Black Steel.

Can't seem to find one anywhere.

Got Pam leather straps in black/black to go with my black PVD Pams.

Why no Breitling leather black/black straps out there?

Is that you Blade?

How's the new car running?

Klink --- is that really you?

Sounds like Klink.

Writes like Klink.

Long time no see....

never heard of this before.....

One of several I have read, just the most current testimony of the power of Cape Cod cloths.

What about Cape Cod on black PVD coated watches?

I hear guys do this to tone down the black a notch.

Let's say like on the Skyland PVD to make it look more like the black steel color?

Thank you again Rob,

My watch tool inventory continues to grow at the same pace as my watch collection.

Buy a watch - buy a tool or two.

Looks like my next purchase is the Horotec bezel remover - $$$!

I read somewhere these are prone to scratch the case?

Must be some secret to prevent this from happening.

Otto Frei and I are becoming too good of friends these days!

Thank you Rob.

Just how do I go about removing the bezel/crystal from the case?

Can't find a good inside the case lip to properly pry it off.

My first Pam broken crystal replacement attempt.

Damn these broken crystals are very sharp!

Cut my finger already just pulling the movement.

Wonder how many Band-Aids this project will require?

Appreciate the advice.

The whole crystal on my 212 broke out of the watch couple months ago.

I have sourced a couple crystals for replacement but I am stuck trying to figure out how to get the remaining crystal out.

The movement came out easily enough.

The two pushers seem to be in the way next and I can't figure out if these really need to come out.

I can't even figure out how to get the last reminants of the crystal out either.

Nothing to push on with the crystal press with the crystal broke out.

Really stuck on this one guys.

Any thoughts?

The Avenger is slightly bigger.

Skyland - 55mm

Super Avenger - 58mm

I think this is the new V 1.5

It has a small, round 3:00 lume dot.

Yup, that's Eddie for you. People seem to forget his less honest aspects now he's gone.

Yup, still waiting on parts he promised to ship me for watches with problems bought from him.

That said, as we all know, most all dealers have similiar issues.

The nature of the black market trade me thinks.

This looks way cool with the PVD bracelet.

Any chance of finding out who did the PVD and for what price?

Maybe he was given a pair of concrete boots for his birthday?

No, - I suspect something much, much heavier -and sinister might be involved here.

Found strapped to his ankles were a plethora of broken Daytona seconds at 6 watches.

So has Paul gone on another extended trip aboard his luxury yacht?

His latest old familiar site has been suspended.

Yet he posts a new ad for the Rolodex GMT ceramic bezel,

"ps. if you need photo for reference, just send e-mail to me"

Perhaps the Cartel has forced him to go into hiding?

Stay tuned for the next exciting adventure of - Rep Smugglers.

we all get it, some worse than others.

Heck yes, make it !!!

I have been waiting for one of these far to long.

Rarely do the good ones ever come up for resale.

Even then, I always get beaten to the purchase by some fast draw.

Such a high demand watch I am baffled they don't do another run.

For those of you looking, here is what I found from Otto Frei.

I believe this to be a correct replacement.

(sssurfer can tell us for sure if this fits).

Scan down to the bottom or the page.

"Domed Mineral Glass 37.2 mm"

Also available in 37.00mm.

$5 each

Thanks sssurfer!!!

Always a great help.

I thought my 212 crystal was sapphire.

Just found it in the watch box with a big crack.

Obviously was mineral glass.

Any suggestions for current source of replacement - sapphire if at all possible.

I checked Otto Frei but can't figure out the correct one.

I saw this previous post description for mineral glass replacement-

"acrylic high dome glass Sternkreuz HWS 37.2mm"

Appreciate any tips.

Thanks,

JJ

Thanks to all for your input.

Happy to hear this project will eventually happen.

Now I will have to resist the SS version in favor of the black case version.

I then dub this the Breitling black widow watch; black with red markers.

If the price of gasoline doesn't deplete all my discretionary funds, then this is the end of the year winner for sure.

We have been waiting patiently a very long time to see this previously promised rep.

Is it really going to happen or are we waiting in vain?

Any news at all on this model from you guys in the know?

Really do want the black case with eta 7750 please!

I like it.

Smooth, new aerodynamic look.

Ceramic bezel!

Lets see more!
