I just read an article in The Watch Magazine about the D-Blue, and the specs references a anti-reflective coated crystal. Can anyone confirm that? I know that Rolex tends to stay away from AR. If so, does the Noob sport an AR'd crystal?

Thank!

For me it's my PAM Bronzo and the BK DSSD.

I'm saddened to learn of his passing. I too have lost someone very dear to me only five days after Bert. It's a tough time. My most sincere and deepest condolences to Bert's family.

Attending a Wedding this evening. Which should I wear? Franck or the Breitling?

I just wanted to take a moment to wish my Brothers-in-Arms a happy Veterans Day!

A watch is to big for wrist Hmmm what's that like.

That's hilarious!

The first thing that comes to mind is how well it was serviced. Was it a complete disassemble, cleaning, and oiled? If not, then that may be the issue. If so, it could be a number of things that could be binding the works. I've had similar issues with a A7750 that turned out to be a misaligned stone on the pallet fork. Your watchsmith should be able to troubleshoot and determine the problem. I hope this helps!

These forums fuel our bad habit of searching for and buying watches. I took a self imposed break from WUS and RG for a couple of years and found myself more than happy to wear just one or two watches. All of the others simply sat in my box in hibernation and my wallet stopped hemorrhaging.

For some stupid reason, I decided to check out one of the forums and in doing so, I stopped by the sales area. One of the first things I saw was a watch that I "had to have"...I've now spent thousands in the few months since I started browsing the forums. Time for another long break, I think

I did the same exact thing. It's when my Skyland started slowing down (after running perfectly for 5 years) I started buying again. I'm at 8 now and have vowed to hold steady for a good long while. However, these forums make it sooooo difficult. My wallet needs a break. Besides, I need to save to replace my boat, which was a total loss this past summer. Looking for a bigger boat...

Great points guys The watch had Water inside almost Like a fish tank just needed The goldfish haha took The caseback off and saw there wasnt Any gasket In it great for a 1k gen so QC on gens isnt Always great either

Go figure! A Gen with no gasket! Sorry to hear that pal.

Hey Ezio! Is that the same watch that you tested first with your DIY tester?

Just returned from SSteel (Micky) and wow, what a great job! New Swiss movement running to COSC, new Blue Black near OEM quality/finish, waterproofed and looking stunning in the new Noob case/

Many thanks Micky :-)

NICE!!!

Holy crap! That movement wasn't even swimming in oil... it drowned in it!

Well, at least we'll know that that movement will be running perfectly after you're done with it! For you it's probably only a few hours away from perfect.

A new SNPR strap came in the mail today for my Bronzo!

I have your back out here in the states brother! I still have a few connections...

Just remember Daddy's Ten Rules of Dating:

· Rule One: If you pull into my driveway and honk you'd better be delivering a package, because you're sure not picking anything up.

· Rule Two: You do not touch my daughter in front of me. You may glance at her, so long as you do not peer at anything below her neck. If you cannot keep your eyes or hands off of my daughter's body, I will remove them.

· Rule Three: I am aware that it is considered fashionable for boys of your age to wear their trousers so loosely that they appear to be falling off their hips. Please don't take this as an insult, but you and all of your friends are complete idiots. Still, I want to be fair and open minded about this issue, so I propose this compromise: You may come to the door with your underwear showing and your pants ten sizes too big, and I will not object. However, in order to ensure that your clothes do not, in fact, come off during the course of your date with my daughter, I will use my nail gun to fasten your trousers securely in place to your waist.

· Rule Four: I'm sure you've been told that in today's world, sex without utilizing a "barrier method" of some kind can kill you. Let me elaborate. When it comes to sex, I am the barrier, and I will kill you.

· Rule Five: It is usually understood that in order for us to get to know each other, we should talk about sports, politics, and other issues of the day. Please do not do this. The only information I require from you is an indication of when you expect to have my daughter safely back at my house, and the only word I need from you on this subject is: "early".

· Rule Six: I have no doubt you are a popular fellow, with many opportunities to date other girls. This is fine with me as long as it is okay with my daughter. Otherwise, once you have gone out with my little girl, you will continue to date no one but her until she is finished with you. If you make her cry, I will make you cry.

· Rule Seven: As you stand in my front hallway, waiting for my daughter to appear, and more than an hour goes by, do not sigh and fidget. If you want to be on time for the movie, you should not be dating. My daughter is putting on her makeup, a process than can take longer than painting the Golden Gate Bridge. Instead of just standing there, why don't you do something useful, like changing the oil in my car?

· Rule Eight: The following places are not appropriate for a date with my daughter: Places where there are beds, sofas, or anything softer than a wooden stool. Places where there is darkness. Places where there is dancing, holding hands, or happiness. Places where the ambient temperature is warm enough to compel my daughter to wear shorts, tank tops, midriff T-shirts, or anything other than overalls, a sweater, and a goose down parka -- zipped up to her throat. Movies with a strong romantic or sexual theme are to be avoided; movies which features chain saws are okay. Hockey games are okay. Old folks homes are better.

· Rule Nine: Do not lie to me. I may appear to be a potbellied, balding, middle-aged, dimwitted has-been. But on issues relating to my daughter, I am the all-knowing, merciless God of your universe. If I ask you where you are going and with whom, you have one chance to tell me the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. I have a shotgun, a shovel, and five acres behind the house. Do not trifle with me.

· Rule Ten: Be afraid. Be very afraid. It takes very little for me to mistake the sound of your car in the driveway for a chopper coming in over a rice paddy near Hanoi. When my Agent Orange starts acting up, the voices in my head frequently tell me to clean the guns as I wait for you to bring my daughter home. As soon as you pull into the driveway you should exit the car with both hands in plain sight. Speak the perimeter password, announce in a clear voice that you have brought my daughter home safely and early, then return to your car -- there is no need for you to come inside. The camouflaged face at the window is mine.

I actually handed that to one of my daughters suitors and had him sign it. My daughter always warned her dates of my military background in Spec Ops. By the time they left on their date; the kid was scared shitless! She was always brought home early much to her dismay. Fear = Respect!

Another option is to swap it out with a Sellita SW500. It's turning out be an excellent alternative to the ETA 7750.

Nice! Wear'er well!
