  1. Classic!!!!!!! FYI, Android new release to have Flash support.
  2. Thanks again Nanuq. In some photos I have seen the HEV itself looks flat, and matte/gunmetally. Does that make any sense? Could be a photo/angle thing. Sidenote: Can you PRO's identify which crystal is in fact installed above?
  3. I have to agree with F333 and some of the others. This came as a surprise to me, as I was considering Avitt for some PVD services down the road. From what I am seeing above, I am guessing it was less about product/delivering on the goods, and more rules/political/personal??? A little more transparency would be nice. At another watch forum I frequent there is a "Banned Members" thread. It is a non-emotional, non-confrontational thread locked to the Mod's. In short, when someone is banned, a simple one or two line reason is stated. Perhaps RWG could consider this? Example(s): Member: ABC123 banned for spamming the forum Member: XYZ321 banned for not following forum rules / trolling Member: JoeBlo asked to be banned for not agreeing with the terms of service Member: RipOff banned for failure to deliver goods sold, ripping people off Member: Dealrr banned for excessive non-approved dealing Just a thought...
  4. I just want to call "Bull-Shit" on the accuracy comments from the article. COSC is COSC, and all Rolexes made today are COSC.... Ohhh, and my Gen '74 1603 w/1575 movement, after its recent service is back/still keeping COSC.
  5. Still Ubi 5513
  6. From the VRF post - interesting: The most plausible thing I can think of.
  7. Ditto DL, is that new or have I been asleep until now.
  8. Excellent, this works to my advantage for the project I am piecing together from my parts bin. (I am holding off on building a "Red", because I think I can assemble a more accurate/believable "White" instead.) @Nanuq - any chance you have some good pics of the HEV valve on your gens? Thanks,
  9. Excellent! Thanks everyone that is what I needed to know/see.
  10. Correct. A7750 21.6 = Compatible hands sizes. A7750 28.8 differs.
  11. So early as in 'reds' having superdome 25-39 tropic 39's. What would have been correct towards the end of the 1665 line T 19's? Anyone have any good side profile pictures of a Superdome 1665 vs a non-Super 1665. Thanks again all,
  12. Pressed for time, so no time to search around VRF/TRF, etc... Question for the experts: Is a superdome correct for a late 1970's (1977) white Sea-Dweller 1665 in the high 5mil serial number range? I know with the 16660 that the crystal changed, and in doing some other research I have seen late 1665's with what appears to NOT be a superdome. Thanks gang,
  13. @redwatch, that Frogman strap is excellent on the 112!!!!!
  14. I really kinda like the clasp, fantasy or not. Very cool. In everyone's research, were there any parallels as to what series of bracelets they have showed up on? 7xxx series, 93xx(x) series?
  15. Ubi 5513
  16. At first glance/impression my mind immediately jumped to thinking about the mens clothing company Haggar. Not sure if it is an American market only thing, but there might be a "fashion plate" perception / tie-in to the clothing company. The insert looks identical to what comes on MBW's. I would love to see the full 5517 metal bezel, less text, AND if it had NO crown guards which would make it unique and not just a typical homage like the MkII's, etc. Love to see people stepping out and going for it. Best of luck!
  17. Camera angle & White Face. It is 44mm and wears about the same as a PAM.
  18. Almost anything Patek.... 6 figures down to 3...
  19. almost forgot the Steve Jobs / Apple classification: Game Changing -> Magical -> Revolutionary
  20. Best -> Ultimate -> Ultimate 1:1 -> Perfect -> Perfect 1:1 ->|-> Genuine -> Best Genuine -> Ultimate Genuine -> Perfect Genuine.... Come on Chief, I thought you knew these things... LOL
  21. F$%king Brilliant!!!!!!!!
  22. Not sure how the multiple FS areas is an issue??? RG is very similar. Personally, when viewing RWG, given the lower volume of posts, it is easiest, and even quickest to simply "VIEW NEW POSTS" which will catch all the little areas like you mention. Ditto on missing the grading system. Daily Wristies- personally, I kind of like it. Easier to wade through one day of photos vs 3 days of photos. Less bandwidth strain (caching aside). Plus, many of us do wear a different watch everyday, so going back to update would be pain. As far as your photo quality goes, don't worry about it, post anyway...
  23. Excellent work F333. Curious, what method did you use to paint the second hand orginally? Airbrush, regular hand painted, shaker can??? Can't wait to see steller new photos when the replacement hand arrives.
  24. A no crown guard Sea-Dweller? Excellent! What case did you start with?
