  1. The first donor was Lord Rasta acording to the well documented box it came in. Who I am sure would be delighted that it has helped so many people. Col.
  2. No worries mate. It's amazing what you can find in the bottom of the box. The watch that pusher came from has been thru at least three sets of hands now as a freebie for spares and this is the second lot I have been able to supply to folk since I have had it. Glad you got your baby back up and running. Col.
  3. I happen to know from whence these came. The wholsaler remains unconvinced that every part is gen but tells me that it is indeed the closest to 1:1 he has seen in 20 years of this game. The story he was told was that the parts came out the back door of the factory as "rejects-to be destroyed" and were not. He can find not one tell so regardless of all gen or not they are damn good.There are a few hundred of them out there. Col.
  4. Try turning it back a bit mate. Prob just too slow to keep running. Col.
  5. HEV may be a tiny bit north but better than most. Yup, it's got happy feet but so do all the reps of this. Pearl is average, non of them are much better. All in all not bad. Col.
  6. Hey OzTag, welcome. Since you're from OZ please click the link in my sig and join the Aussie GTG list. When we have a members get together in your area you will be contacted with the details. Regards, Col.
  7. Waiting said opinions with great intrest. Ahh, this guy. Mr lots of dials, con artiste to the watchmakers of Australia Col.
  8. He has a rather nice Shark Hunter up too: BOREL Col.
  9. Ok mate. I found the pusher and have your address so I'll get it in the mail ASAP. Col.
  10. What style? Dress, sport, dive what? How many? 20, 200, 2000? What quality? China, Jap or Swiss? All questions that need answering before I could point you at anyone. Col.
  11. Hey, it's also the watch House wears! Amazon has the Invicta Divers for 73 bucks ATM as well as this one for 50. INVICTA CASIO Col.
  12. Really? I must go down to my local AD and save all those folk he is ripping off with fakes then 'cause if I look close enough I can see the jerkyness to which he refers. The only one you can see without a loupe or exactly the right lighting is a rep one Hey! What luck! The silly dealers have sent me gens by mistake 'cause all my post '02 Rolies have holograms! Yup, there gens allrighty, they have o rings too Gee I'm glad for all that well researched and factual advice. And for the fact that by their standerds every watch I own is a gen. Col.
  13. Behold the awesomeness of the HorrorMaster II Now, I'm notconvinced that the next one belongs here 'cause it's allmost undectable but some missguided folk call it a bad rep. Personaly I dunnow, look oke to me, check the date font, it's perfect! Col.
  14. I thought this guy had sorted all his problems? Sorry to hear he hasn't as yes, he does seem like a nice enough guy. There were a rather long line of folk he owed stuff/money to. Any more out there I wonder? Col.
  15. No Timex but how about TISSOT? Hmm, they seem to have gone upmarket. This mob used to have about 800 Seikos, none now. Col.
  16. Both the Cape Cod and the fiber glass refinishing pen can be got from our very own Offshore: CAPE COD F/G PEN While you are there, have a look around, there are a heap of great quality tools at prices that can't be beat. Col.
  17. Ah, guys, you CAN buy reps of high end Casios! Col.
  18. One does not AFIK. As for TTK, best you stay unfamiliar. Col.
  19. I hope I'm wrong but that looks like PVD to me. The gen is a nitride finish which can be replicated in DLC but not by PVD which comes out too thick and is obviously a coating rather than a metal treatment like nitriding. Either way, I think I'll wait for the price to drop. At least one non cartell dealer has this allready and the price is sure to drop as more get hold of it. Looks like your version got canned Dave, pity, it may have well been DLC instead. Col.
  20. Freddy: Offshore has some "Rolex special" bars that mesure 1.8mm in the barrell but have the full sized ends that may be worth a look to solve this problem: http://watchbitz.com...od&productId=85 BTW, I don't see the bracelets on Yuki's site. where are they hiding? Col.
  21. Should be able to get a Clarks crystal to fit it for starters, somone will know exactly which. A trip thru the oven on low heat will age the dial and hands nicly and a good shake up in a plastic bottle full of rocks will do wonders for the looks of the case. Link to a "How to" based on VDB's methods HERE Col.
  22. Date font and cyclops look crappy. LOL @ obscure Jello Biafra reference. Col.
  23. No worries fellas. I hope everybody is having a great christmas. A little dreary and raining here but considering how dry it is I'm calling it an extra present. Family's been and gone and peace and quiet reigns again. Dog's lying in the corner moaning from too much leftovers, the beer's cold and all is well. Only thing is, no one gave me a watch! Col.
