  3. Thank you for posting! 7740 series is slightly different from VJ72 in terms of hand sizes. Here is the one I finally just found that has all necessary info on VJ72/23 for those who are interested http://www.cousinsuk.com/PDF/categories/61...%2023,%2072.pdf Best
  4. sorry for the loss ... may I offer my sympathy... we recently lost a medical helicopter, was a very sad day around here
  5. http://www.2jfk.com/wcollection.htm Can't avoid posting it as it is just mesmerizing... no English though, but pictures speak for 1000 words
  6. Hi guys, Does anyone have an info on Val 72 hand post specs. I need to know all hands sizes. Any experience with broaching tools (brand?) would be appreciated Thnx
  7. awesome, my friend. you've got a narrow and a wide version of the PO! Super
  8. Take a look guys, just stumbled on it... http://cgi.ebay.com/RARE-OMEGA-SPEEDMASTER...93%3A1|294%3A50 Anyone wants to chip in? I'll take Snoopy!
  9. Got foggy headlights on your car? All this UV, chemicals in the air/rain, etc made them dull and milky? You can buy an expensive headlight repair kit off the web with mixed results, you can DIY with increasing grit sandpaper and then polishing (which works, but is time consuming) Or.... as a watchlover who has to have a cape cod polishing wipes in the house - try that first. I just did it on mine and they look sparkling new. Small chips are still there as you need to sand it down if you want to get rid of them. But, overall, you do not notice them and the plastic is clear as new. Try it for yourself!
  10. it came from Josh, but a long time ago...
  11. Rest and take care of your eyes, you will be fine as long as there is no damage to the internal compartments (no changes in eye sight is a good sign). Subconjunctival hemorrhage is not serious by itself when it is just a ruptured vessel that leaked blood. It only looks scary and can cause some pain because of the distention, but it should subside and you will be fine. If you experience worsening of your pain or any other symptoms, especially with eyesight, I would recommend to visit a doctor just in case. take care Alex
  12. Blackberry Bold is your answer. It is coming out this summer
  13. I got both, case and CG, directly from JF, but CG doesn't sit flush. I am actually curious if he damped something on me. But parts look pretty good to doubt... would pictures be able to uncover whether they are true JF parts?
  14. Hi guys, For those that have had experience with these, Jimmy Fu case and CG. Are they flush or did you have to file CG to sit it flush to the case? Mine seems to be off and I would need to file it somehow... Thanks Alex
  15. thanks offshore, I had this picture and couldn't find, so went on trying to put it in words, but 1 picture is worth thousand words
  16. if I remember correctly you get 4 o-rings with tube: 1 small diameter and sort of flat - this one goes on the tube neck where you screw it in the case for water seal 2 small diameter but thicker, these both go inside the tube, there is just enough room to fit two of them in there 1 big diameter - goes on the outside of the tube and touches an edge of the crown when you tighten it up you have to put one more on the base of the crown, inside on the stem holder. it is the same o-ring as one you put inside the tube but it doesn't come with tube set, it comes with crown, or you can just buy it separately. hope this helps
  17. actually you have to fit two of them inside the tube, that's how it's done properly. you have to supply your own for the crown base which is the same as the one inside the tube.
  18. I personally like these old watches. They stand at the origin of all military style looking watches IMO. Couldn't find this picture for a while, but, finally, here you go.
  19. what crystal and on what watch are you thinking to use it?
  20. There has to be a washer under the bezel. Look in the bezel assembly from the bottom, occasionally washer would stick to it, just pry it off.
  21. Mine says on the bag: 29-325-10-I FOR ROLEX 29-32 5-10 I don't remember where I got it from, but may be it'll help you somehow...
  22. Thank you for your comments. I am sure seller is legitimate, and watches he sells look spot on, I would be surprised it is a rep. He's sold thousands of them over the past few years (not that it means anything knowing people who shop on ebay I wasn't ready to pull a trigger yet, just wanted to ask you guys about buying it from a foreign country. I always first look at ebay to see what price range is there and what is available before I start shopping seriously. But it is a good point that most likely AD will offer a reasonable used SMP with a piece of mind. Cheers!
  23. Hey guys, I am pondering on the idea of getting a gen Omega SM Pro. There is one seller on ebay from Japan that sells genuine watches (I hope he does), but I wanted to find out if there is anything I need to know to avoid some surprise later, like US dealer refusing to service it etc. One little thing I noticed on one of his watches is presence of a stamp on the caseback that looks like a earth globe with omega sign over it on the outer ring of the caseback (if it tells anything? I have never seen like this one before). Your comment would be appreciated.
