ok, i'll bite. here's my blue skyland avenger on genuine blue calf strap deltatahoe

happy bday RWG!! deltatahoe

the strap on my gen u2 is hands down my favorite rubber strap of any brand -- definitely well worth the money imho. deltatahoe

thanks for getting us back on topic lani -- i apologize for nanuq's detestable behavior. in all seriousness, from your picture i feel like that lume looks factory applied (or if not by the factory, perhaps by ziggy?!). if it were me (and i wish it were), i'd keep the lume and leave the black dot to the crazy alaskan... deltatahoe

pffft! coming from someone rumored to have a thing for a certain RWG institution: deltatahoe *runs and puts on flame retardant suit*

wow -- nice surprise indeed!! you must be thrilled to pieces aren't you glad you didn't listen to nanuq deltatahoe

top stuff francisco thanks for taking the time to photograph this whole process -- i can only imagine the investment in time you must have made to put this together all the best deltatahoe

another great suggestion hammy1 -- thanks keep them coming fellas deltatahoe

thanks a bunch powershot the MWC site looks really promising (it seems to fit pretty closely the look that my brother is going for) deltatahoe

thanks for the suggestion ubi -- that is definitely along the right lines, although i'd really prefer to get him a watch with automatic movement... any other suggestions folks? ideally i'm of something like a budget version of mkii's watches (without the six month wait ) deltatahoe

based on recent discussions (click here), we have concluded that original red subs from that era actually came with beveled crystals (not top hat crystals). good luck with your project deltatahoe

oh man -- the first half of that was absolutely hilarious thanks for sharing deltatahoe

so my brother (who isn't really into watches) asked me for some suggestions for where to get a vintage military style watch akin to something like the vintage timex jcrew currently has in its catalogs (click here). he also liked the first several watches on this page; i don't know anything about RLT watches, but i'm sure there are probably a hundred similar outfits out there. anyways, just wanted to see if anyone here had any suggestions regarding a reliable source for a watch like this at a relatively reasonable price (i believe he'd like to spend less than $200 all in). thanks in advance deltatahoe

i'll be honest lani, i'm legitimately jealous about that watch. what a looker love that us divers on the dial deltatahoe

as an aside to this discussion, a while back andrew and josh teamed up to bring a sapphire version of the 212 to the boards that was available for a limited period of time (ie. a couple months). looks like they have either ordered a new run from that factory or a different factory has started producing 212's with sapphire crystals. hope this helps deltatahoe

i've been super busy lately and haven't had any free time to spend on RWG, but chuck norris turned 70 today, so i thought starting a thread here to wish him a happy birthday was the right thing to do unfortunately for RWG, Chuck Norris doesn't wear a watch. HE decides what time it is. deltatahoe

very interesting thread; always great to learn something new about vintage rolex... deltatahoe

wow -- congrats W must have taken some arm twisting to wrench that ubitona from R's hands regardless, couldn't have gone to a better guy. wear it well my friend deltatahoe

my guess would have been a 1680 with a t-127 top hat, but those aren't domed -- just really tall the t-39 or t-19 domes aren't tall enough to be noticeable as being super thick imho... deltatahoe

i've been told the book "understanding exposure" by bryan peterson is a good starting place... deltatahoe

unfortunately for michael, that ship has already sailed... deltatahoe

buying this watch (titanium iwc ingenieur AMG chrono): it is the watch that i was most disappointed with (what was i thinking??!??). it is an extremely accurate watch, but it was just too blah for me (too much titanium). i've never fooled myself into thinking that i can work on my watches (admittedly i don't have the time or interest in working on my watches -- i'd rather be off doing something outside). for me at least, best to leave that sort of work to the experts deltatahoe

projectologist is the one to blame for this whole affair i'm innocent! i just posted a watch for sale and look what happened deltatahoe

thanks B; it is definitely a very special watch. in fact, i have to keep looking down at my wrist to stem the disbelief of what i've got strapped to my wrist today deltatahoe
