  1. nope only the 7mm for the 7750 movement...

    the best bet for that watch is DSN's newest 1 piece... the mag is way better and the halo is less noticeable.

    Thanks Kbiz for your reply.

    Do you know if the 27A/28A that DSN been selling have 2 different version of the crystal?

  2. The movement ring needs modification, the thickness of the movement will not be a problem. You need to find a proper 7753 dial version because the placement of the date window of your 7750 dial will not be the same.

    While there, you'll need a thicker font on the DW if you are looking for close to 1:1 to the gen font, Leo from repgeek is one if you can get in touch with him, discontinued Lello version also good.

    I also think that the hands may need modification if the 7750 is the 28.8k bps, the 21.6k bps version doesn't need. But good modder can make it work.

    This will not be a cheap project, you will need at least 1K min to get a decent 7753 powered Daylight. If I were you, I would send an email to Vaclume or Zigmeister about the project before buying parts for the project.

    You can check out the link in my sig. The watch is done by Vaclume, he said too much work involved and may not take anymore 7753 conversion project. But, why not shoot him an email? :thumbsupsmileyanim:

    Good luck to you.

  3. I cannot recommend any watch related but... for sight seeing, nothing much to see in the south... Ho Chi Minh City is ~7 millions people, and the average temperature right now is around mid 90s F... Good for.. umm, massage :thumbsupsmileyanim: very cheap. One hour of service costs about $7, with tip, $10/hour.

    If you travel with your wife/girlfriend, take a plane up North (Hanoi, the capital), ticket should be around $50 one way, Jetstar is the cheapest. Once there, visit Ha Long Bay, a Unesco site, two hours drive, for a 2-3 days cruise, or Sapa if you like hiking. Once done, travel to central Vietnam for beaches, Imperial city (similar to the Forbidden city in China but smaller), Emperor tombs if you really bored..

    Hope you'll have a great trip. Below are some pictures I took last year during summer visit.

    Whatever you do, DO NOT FORGET to try out sugarcane juice drink, $.50/drink :thumbsupsmileyanim: Look for this, yes yes, it looks not very clean isn't it?

    Hoi An (Central) Old town, another Unesco site, I don't have any decent daylight pictures, below is a picture taken at night at the beach. You can see you can just sit there with your friends, love one, with tiny little oil lamp, listen to the wave, chit chat, and order fresh seafood, beer available of course :)

  4. Thank you AmStaFF for the help. Unfortunately in order for me to find out the quote, it needed the shipper address, which I don't have. Basically, I am waiting for a package (a watch) from a seller from Germany. First he told me it would cost $30 for Express Mail, so I paid him the cost. Then a week later, no shipping info, so I ask him. He said in order to ship Express, it will be around $70.... and as of today (2 weeks since the payment made) I still have no words from him when he will ship out the watch. That's why I am checking on the cost of shipping. $70 to ship a watch is.... I don't know.

  5. My least favorite part of the whole thing is the finger-wagging by members of the media who are very likely banging their own interns. I think Tiger should resist most strongly the pressure to humble himself in the public eye.

    In my imaginary capacity as life coach to Tiger Woods, here is my prescription for him:

    1. Press domestic violence charges against Elin. Where I live (in California) a domestic violence conviction makes it almost impossible to be awarded custody of one's children, and there are many hoops the violator must jump through to become rehabilitated in the eyes of the family court. I'm not a lawyer, and Florida may be different, but this move will give him more leverage than he would otherwise.

    2. Divorce. This thing is ruined. Use the extra leverage to give her as little money as possible.

    3. Play golf.

    4. Avoid Oprah and her ilk at all costs. You're already humiliated, don't make it worse.

    5. Once the divorce and custody agreement is finalized, own your new image. This will include, but is not limited to:

    Wearing a pimp hat; Carrying a walking stick topped with a hectogram-sized diamond; Banging every broad that comes within 5-iron range; Purchasing the Playboy Mansion and intensifying its intended uses; and Seeking new endorsement opportunities with such products as Extenze, Trojans, Bell Helmets, Viagra, Energizer Batteries, Red Bull, etc.

    6. Be patient. Win another major and nobody will care anymore...with the exception of a certain childless, impoverished, Swede.

  6. On the Daylight series. Both the incorrect 7750 and the correct 7753 date window are between the 4/5 marker. The 7753 sits slightly toward the outter edge of the dial.

    A couple of pictures for comparision. The one with the DW of course is the 7750 dial, while the lonely dial is the 7753. You can see the 7753 dial DW window is closer to the 5 o'clock marker

  7. If you want to starts out with DSN as a base watch, then definitely make sure he uses the standard case, so that the 1:1 CG such as V's CG (THE right CG for 111H) can fit.

    I would: Get a LH 111H watch, then get it DLC.
