  1. Excellent collection! And you gotta love that 24 hour-ish Railroad Approved. Great pieces. than you for sharing!!!
  2. video is legit. Subdial at 3 has two hands and there is no way both work as they should.
  3. Good point....I am getting senile (hence the name gran)
  4. Or at least partly FAUX (2 hands so one should be Faux)....is there an issue with the minute counter on 9 also? " Another flaw is the ridiculous split second hand on the 3 o'clock register. I don't know why they didn't do this like the PAM flyback reps where they just stack the hands so at least when the chrono is not moving it looks accurate. "
  5. You have had that watch for ages? did you get it back in 2005?
  6. I am not an OMEGA expert at all but will try to give some input...lets hope the real experts chime in later rocket science and 7750 movement in one and the same sentence that is rare there might be some issues with subdial distances, depth of date window etc but in principle it should be possible to get close to the 2015 version 8the original 57 should be more difficult given the difference in movements).. I guess there is already quite a few reps with two subdials out ther at the moment however inaccurate in one way or another
  7. Frank Zappa might actually find this stoned washed "country" version acceptable
  8. Thanks. its quite similar to that depicted. will not post actual location online.
  9. True Blancpains tend to be accurate, odd that rep makers go backwards
  10. Thats great. I actually have a farm in Norway but live in the city. No livstock there now...but they may return in 10-20 years from now when I can stay there all year long.
  11. I've not been so active on these fora the last two years but even so it seems that the quality of replicas peaked with the IWC 3777 (not considering ROLEX and TUDORs) Have there really been any great new out of the box accurate replicas the last 1-2 years? are the factories stagnating?
  12. I am not a farmer .,,,funny way of counting that.....and its way different from Norwegian usage
  13. He seemed to be a catholic at heart to me actually, but it makes sense if he didn’t believe in fairytales. Certainly it was and is fun.
  14. I am not sure if we have met earlier but I'm delighted to make your acquaintance. Irish I see, maybe some Norwegian blood in you too?
  15. Yes can agree to all of that. Intelligent he was. I banned him once or twice in my days but eventually he forgave me
  16. I know. He would have appreciated your words, partcularly that "knitting circle" comment and that you contributed . He is part of the RWG history now and will live on in its threads
  17. More like your grandfather...I am ovER 50 now
  18. Yes I am back..my replicas are falling apart so need some upgrades. I have missed you all. Neil died in January!? I heard, sad news, TTK brought the entertainment. i will miss him.
