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.

A no crown guard Sea-Dweller? Excellent!

What case did you start with?

Where is the point of this topic?

You tell me :

Just beware the spiders, otherwise yeah NZ Rocks!

Spider bites man on penis

A spider nestles in a pair of trunks discarded on the beach and bites their owner on the penis, triggering heart failure.

The 22-year-old Canadian fell asleep in the sand dunes after swimming nude at a beach in New Zealand's far north.

He woke to find his penis swollen and painful, with a bite mark on the shaft, news agency NZPA reported.

Great pics!

Maybe we just have more serious collectors, who don't get so involved in all the trivialities?

100% agree. We seem to have the largest amount of killer frankens here and watchs modded with Gen parts. Less kids... If I had to guess the average age here is mid/late 30's -vs- 20's-early 30's elsewhere. More maturity here...

This forum is my sole home. I've visited other forums in the past, and have even had some participation here and there, but my home is undoubtedly here.

I have also had some frustration with the search engine. Not the most intuitive, but I think these are issues that could be cleared up with software upgrades, perhaps?

Ditto. Back to the quality over quantity.

Search engine...Yes it sucks (sorry to be blunt [ducking]). BUT just use Google Site search: site:rwgforum.com (search term). eg type this in Google. site:rwgforum.com ubiquitous

Excellent watches today. Not the usual choices. Some cool 'less popular' brands....

@nakortheblue Nice Daytona!

I would be willing to kick in as well...

You see to have all my grail pieces... Great minds think/like alike.

Since there are many Rush fans here. Just in case you have not heard:

Love it!!!!! Great watch. Love the Dome...

You say "end-link"???? or do you mean regular sizing link?

Can you remove a link above or below? Even though it broke, can you remove the link that was held in place by it?

Can you afford to loose TWO links? (Maybe 1 if you are careful). If you are sizing the bracelet smaller, you can just sacrifice that link. Use a Dremel with cut-off wheel to simply cut through the link so it can go "up and over" the broken nub (assuming the broken screw is preventing dissasembly).

Pictures?

i have an ipad, got the portable kind 2 years ago, fits right in your pocket

I heard they are renaming the iPod Touch to iPad Nano.

Having played with an iPad for 30 minutes, I was quickly bored. The 'magic' wears off quick IMHO...

I would have to say this is not unlike what "Pro-Hunter" and "Project X" are doing.

Imagine pre-internet / information age the few Pro-Hunters floating around suddenly showing up for the first time online, etc.

What sucks is that Rolex is so 'closed' to giving information. If Rolex were a little more transparent with their products, less people would probably be scammed and these sort of speculations quickly shut down. One of the cool things at WUS is some of the "Official Forums" for companies like DOXA, where you could probably go for an honest response. Guess Rolex is too big for that...

Using that large wrench to fix the tubes?

That is very interesting. I have talked with BK about it and he didn't mention any difficulties about installing a gen crystal. Maybe I will PM him and double check on things. Thanks!!!!

The difficulties are not so much is simply getting them installed. It is getting them installed and having a "gen feel" when actuating, actually using the bezel. Myself and others, including LV owners, have noticed some of the bezels become very difficult to turn. (BK has a post about it, and how to press and turn).

A non-issue if you never plan to hand your watch to someone who is a "bezel turner", or if you are not a bezel user. (I use mine regularly to time parking meters, etc, so it was a show stopper for me.) Again, depending on the 'moment in time, and WM9 parts BK has on hand YMMV...

The good thing is you are working with BK-- he is in getting or making things right.

I worked with BK in great detail in trying to put together a V3 like you describe. We wound up aborting and I decided to live with my V2.

The V3/LV case makes fitting a gen crystal / gen insert combo an exercise in finding the correct bezel, or having to do some sanding and modifying of the parts. Even amongst the WM parts, it seemed no two were exactly the same. You could get lucky. In my case, it all "looked" right, but the bezel did not "function" like a gen.

YMMV. In the meantime, my V2 with Clarks Crystal, and Gen crown, will simply get a Gen insert and I will call it a day.

Actually, I have been having similar slow-down issues. (Firefox 3.6.3)

Most noticeable after a post or hitting 'edit' to go back into a post to fix a typo of mine.

Also, I am still experiencing the BLANK page after "Marking All Forum Posts As Read", clearing cookies helped for ONE session, but right back to doing it.

Thanks Team!
