  1. Is a service dial really available for that price? Er i might be down for two if so!
  2. Thanks guys. Coz i had the opportunity to buy a gen 6536 dial, and i have a 5508 case...
  3. How much did the gen 5508 set u guys back? Oh the dial is soooo sweeeeet
  4. Thanks everyone for the advice! Appreciate it loads! Automatico, i was really gonna bite but felt i should weigh my options...
  5. My hero, freddy has enlightened me to the fact that the 1030 and 1530 diameters are the same but the crown locations may be different. Does anyone know if this is possible at all? I've a 1030 from pBdad and am hoping to use it
  6. http://en.espnf1.com/f1/motorsport/story/96996.html Does this usher in the era of new daytonas or maybe new chronographs? I dunno, i kinda liked the semi nonchalance rolex used to mean to the world at large...then again, all those flashy businessmen and rappers haven't exactly kept them under the radar
  7. Thanks freddy! I was gonna pm u, but decided that i've been bothering u too much already!
  8. Ah nuts. Thanks so much for yr help watchmeister!
  9. Are these interchangeable? Thanks for the illumination!
  10. I always felt mercs were the rollies of the road. Nothing like a beautiful vintage merc. I've had the opportunity to own/drive 3 mercs prior to my most recent one. A 2003 CLK230. The previous 3 were stellar and felt like they were built to last. However, my 2003 CLK 230 is a stinking steaming POS too! Bought from a dealer with star-class warranty in May. Was supposed to be almost NOS (shame on me for believing that crap). Has broken down twice already, and the mOFOs made me pay both times! Sigh, thing is, it still looks so beautiful from the outside...all that glitters is not gold and all that...
  11. If i could find a 203 dial (that doesn't cost me a kidney), i'll just build it w an alarm 240 for the hell of it!
  12. Just goingover this thread coz im wondering if it's possible to build a big block. Sourcing the gen dial is nigh impossible too i guess
  13. the blackberry playbook is going for 200 on ebay now
  14. That sucks dude. It's really disappointing to see that people just don't have the common decency to do the right thing. He'll get his comeuppance somewhere down the line. I know it
  15. Er, i got lost in all the technical speak. But how did u get the date window right? As far as i can tell, there wasnt any mention abt a gen movement and dial?
  16. That would be me! Folks please feel free to give me a reference check! I don't wanna lose out on my ff!
  17. Thanks everyone once again for your help! I'm going with santa margherita! Italy is da bomb!!!!
  18. Calling upon all the illuminated minds in this international community again! Has anyone had any experience staying in a town which provides easy access to Cinque terre in italy? I'm thinking of heading there for a couple of days, but was advised to stay in a town just at the precipice as Cinque Terre itself may be a pain in the ass to negotiate via car. So far from what i can glean online, some recommend Santa Margherita, whilst others levanto. La Spieza is another, but apparently isn't as pretty a town? Thanks for the help guys!
  19. Guys, any idea which case will be able to accommodate a 26mm dial? Is it just the phong one? Dsn's is too big. I'm even checking out the homage makers in this quest. So far i've deduced that the precista 50 may be a contender, but the corvus, mkII and helson may not be....
