  1. What is your wife's complexion? Tan, Vampire (pale skin) white, Asian, etc..... Based on the pics, I am leaning toward the black Tag.
  2. I am not sure if this will help, but when I just pressed in my Chief A/R'd crystals into 2 44mm DSN's I used the following: I used this press: http://www.micro-tools.com/store/item_detail.aspx?ItemCode=CRY-905-00 and I have the optional larger die set (CRY-905-20). I used a 38mm on the bottom (it fit within the lugs), and a 36mm on the crystal itself. HTH
  3. The problem with a spacer if I recall correctly will be a dial to date wheel gap and/or hand clearance issue.
  4. Here is an Online Tool you can use: http://picasion.com/ or http://www.gifninja.com/ or Google Search: create animated GIF HTH
  5. Welcome! Hang onto your wallet this hobby is addictive.
  6. Good data: I found this link and summary somewhat reassuring. http://members.iinet.net.au/~fotoplot/invicta/invicta.html Summary The "Hesitating Second Hand", observed on Invicta and other brands of watches is simply a characteristic of the "Indirect Seconds" type of movement design and in no way has any effect on the watch accuracy or timekeeping. If any watch company wanted to do something about it, the simplest, and really the only practical solution, would be to poise the second-hand. However, tens of millions of Indirect Seconds type watches of many different manufacture, in all grades from the cheapest pin pallet to high grade Swiss watches have been made in the past 50 years or so, and have been used with no problems at all. Indeed, it is hard to imagine how this characteristic could ever be observed during normal wear on the wrist, anyway. One can only assume it was claimed as a problem in an attempt to find fault in a watch which offers such excellent value for money as the Invictas do. So all you owners of Invictas, Omegas or any of the many, many other brands that use the same method for driving the second hand, there's no need to worry about it! and this --if you don't know what you are doing Increasing the tension of the brake spring must be done with great care, as too much tension will start to significantly affect the balance amplitude (from the extra friction in the train), and thus the timekeeping.
  7. Not that it matters-- the search function here has not been the same since the forum upgrade months ago. You pretty much have to use advanced, at that is only a marginal improvement. Sorry to say. I have resorted to trying a Google Site search. That helps 50% of the time. Here is the syntax from a Google box: search term site:rwgforum.com Example: 1665 site:rwgforum.com
  8. They do not. I am a fan of their style. Some good deals at WUS. Good luck!
  9. I have a Rose Gold Daytona (that I actually bought for "parts" for its non-7750 working seconds @6 movement), it is not too bad. My wife put it on, and I think she could pull it off. I am swamped today, but time permitting I will shoot some photos.
  10. I complimented a guy last weekend wearing a Sea-Dweller. "Nice Sea-Dweller". He proceeded to tell me about all the oceans it has been in, and how it was only serviced ONCE in 13 years. Ohh, and how it survived his motorcycle accident...... 10 minutes later he finally noticed the Seiko Samurai I was wearing that day with no further discussion of diving. Hmmmm.
  11. Argh, don't tempt me like that. Given how much I love my BTR, this would be a great addition. Thanks!
