Seiko has a more upper line of watches called Grand Seiko... these are only sold in japan and are priced almost in the same range as Rolex. A used Grand Seiko GMT (nice watch BTW) would be around 3k$.
And what to think of the Spring Drive line ... a nice diver was released quite recently... for only 7k$ !!!
Oh... you bought that modded-to-the-max by Mark Finepics PAM63... it used to be his personal watch so you can imagine how much work is in that beauty. Congrats!!
I have the same... also modded to the max by Mark and it rocks!
This is the best HBB... i know cause the movement originally came from me... it's actually a Guinand swiss 7750 with module for 3-6-9 subdial layout
Congrats and wear it well !
WOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOW.... what a shitload of watches that i would love to have in my watchbox!!! The space-dweller is absolutely one of them... the patina on that baby is sooo nice! Excellent
Now i'm going to study the pixx again and again
Let's keep it simple Rico and Andreww...
1. The admin team made a decission to freeze Neil's account because he's making a mess of a lot of the orders...
2. Neil thinks it's OK to threaten the admin team
3. The admin team bans him
We can discuss about details but these are the simple facts... if you still have holes in your swiss cheese, than i suggest you ask Neil where that part is. As a normal forum member i can only say that the behaviour we all accepted from Neil... we would never accept from any other member or dealer.
So if you guys mis Neil that much... take a plane, go to Thailand and buy him a beer...
Common Andreww... long story short... Neil makes poop of quite some deals and especially the groupbuy, co-admin team says something about it and decide to make him from dealer into VIP member untill he finally finalises all open deals... he threatens the admin and his admin team... they ban him...
What would you do if you where an admin and where personally threatened by a dealer?
In the previous series in England he wore a yellow Breitling if i recall well... But what he's been wearing with the newer series that play in the US i dpn't know...
WOW... this is not the kind of inflation i can see on my pay-check
I tried on this Chopard a while ago, but it didn't convince me. I will be looking forward to your reviews guys!
Holy crap what a story! I hope we as a community can help a bit to relieve some of your burdens. It really sounds overwhelming how much went wrong... and let's hope you get a better president with a more social policy agenda soon! I've watched too many documentaries that showed similar situations... between an rock and a hard place so to say.
Good luck and let's hope the thing we can do as a community can at least help you a bit... hang in there dude!
not possible with modding the moveemnt... counter at 6 is a 24h counter which is not on the vintage Monaco... and from that small picture you posted i can say anything about subdial spacing... guess we will have to wait for a decent copy of the 2894 or the previous Dupraz module that was used in combination with the 2892-A2
Great tips Andy, thanx!!
The edges of all engravings on the caseback are not pollished anough and thus too sharp. It irritates my wrist when i wear my Ingy (ahhh, poor guy...). So i'm gonna try to make it a little more smooth with a toothpick in the dremel
Mine is with Ziggy right now but i expect it back within 2 or 3 weeks and than i'll check the seconds hand on mine.
I can hardly wait to see the results... superlume, lello DW, lello datemaginifier, eta2836-2 serviced... it will be sweet
First of all i'm sorry to hear this... but completely understandable. When you want perfection... there's always something that can be just a bit better...
But maybe you would like to trade some of the Rollies for my Vacheron Constantin Overseas with box
The availability of the vietnam cases is not huge and the quality is always an issue... they have to be handpicked by someone who knowns what to look for!!
But if this can be done, i'm interested of course... a 5513 case has my preference
Perfect!! I like it very much... i've also been dreaming of an old james bond no dat submariner. The case, crown, dial, crystal and bezel are perfect... guess you got them from ND trading or vintagewatchparts?
