.**Painted the subdial hands black.**Cant wait to get AR on this baby. What type of paint did you use? Latex or oil ? Modelers paint? Did you have any trouble leveling the paint ? Looks great with sub dials painted, they deffinately stand out better. JKT

If "Trusty" states it is a working moonphase.....IT IS.....not the standard 24 hr rotation, but actual lunar time change...JKT

To change the battery.......back plate pops off with some careful prying, exposing quartz works and tiny battery which any drug store should carry. Hope this helps.....JKT

I,ve purchased over 30 Reps in past two years. Mostly from dealers on our boards, and a few from members. Only had "1" one issue , and that was from a dealer , but it wasn't the watch it was the band (ss+gold link, gold color was off and the dealer rectified). Maybe I'm lucky but I feel all our dealers are very good , at least in my transactions........JKT

Can you show a picture showing magnification on the cyclops???? Thanks...JKT

A weld in a bottle. Let us know how it turns out. Sounds to good to be true. Good luck with the experiment......JKT

Like RG has stated " I am impressed"...........I would be interested in several...............good luck with the R&D....JKT

SUPER THREAD.......TT.......great work !!!!!! That Breguet grand complication very beautiful......that and the Bling "moonphse".......you enlightened me to some nice pieces..........and let's not forget the girl with her nuts showing.........you certainly add a lot to the forums............... great sense of humour and perspective on many issues..........KEEP IT COMING........JKT

TT....is this yours?.......if so some info on please......looks like a real" Moonphase", is it?.....JKT

Like Bytor I try to keep my collection compact.........yet I have now grown to 18 Reps and 4 Gens........ thinking about it now, I suppose I'll be selling off some watches, and make the collection a little more compact, and give the select few more wrist time.

Some eye candy... Mr. Randy.............SUPER........you can see you took a lot of pride in your work.......... SHE TRULY IS A BEAUTY........your time, effort, and dedication to your project has certainly paid off ....... ....JKT

Hey guys I was in the US Navy and I was a SUB-MARINE-ER and it's the MARINE that's emphasized as in the watch it's MARIN that's emphasized...........JKT.......they used to call us bubble heads and Surface Skimmers were sailors on regular ships, not boats which submarines are called.

_____________________________________________ Wow TT a little political satire (very good)......GOOD THING you didn't get into religion.....some of our members would have crucified you........JKT

The way the hour hand is obscurring the word "date" after perpetual I would say it is a replica.....JKT

Slide rule is bang on, but really are your eyes good enough to read it accurately? This is true Pug, to read the slide rule I do need my "Dr.Cyclops" glasses (equivalent to a 14x loupe). It's nice to know there is a Navitimer with the accurate scale on it. This only adds to its' near authenticity. Only wish the newer versions followed this lead................JKT

ANDREW........is this the TTK version that was out in the spring ? Does it have the older 7750 in it (not the 28K) ? I still can't get over the calibration markings which appear to line up perfectly. The slide rule must work correctly, or does it ? Great looker........now to find 28k's with working slide rules...........JKT

Nice photography as per usual Bytor. I've always liked the Omega Constellation Ladies auto on women , but not with the diamonds just a little to blingy. Their simple TT with white face are quite nice, yet not to flashy. Somewhat sportty but deffinately more dressy. They always make a woman look professional ( not in the hooker sense), while wearing a business suit or a formal gown. Just my thoughts on how the other half look with watches.

Was the drill in reverse mode ??? just kidding that's something I would do. But its amazing the tensil stregnth of certain alloyed stainless steel. Their surface stain resistance can vary considerable do to the amounts of chromium used in alloying , which in turn adds to the strenght of the material..............JKT

Anyway, he immediately spotted my "Rolex" and asked if he could see it. So, I cautiously take it off, completely expecting him to call me out on my rep. He gives it a good examination and says that he really likes the sub and how he's thinking of getting one...blah, blah, blah. It's amazing how many people, which really are few, know only the fact that a fake TICKS and a genuine SWEEPS.

Here's picture off wrist, by the way also in watches section
