I was hoping to get Chris to roll this into the 14060 project. (Even though 501 are correct for 14060, IF he is going to the factory, why not do a little mix and match on the order)
Any idea on the price? It might be in our best interest to have 5 people buy 4 sets each...Then resell if need be.
Chris?
Good question, but I believe any Gen parts will need to be 16610 based. Something to keep in mind when modding. (i.e. buy a gen insert for 16610, Clarks non-Cyclops for 16610). Right Chris?
Yikes. I actually had a good experience with Canon CS USA back in 2006 on a 3 year old camera with bad ccd. They wound up RMAing a 3yr old camera and sending me the current model. Went from a 230 to a 630 series. It was part of a recall however, phone conversation less than 5 minutes.
In the last year however, I have seen a decline in Canon quality in everything from printers to cameras. Seems like unless you are a Mark 5 shooter, the rest of the line is withering a bit.
Canon WAS the go to camera, now Nikon and Panasonic seem to be on top of their game.
According to TRR Appendix I, and TRF - 501B is correct.
Late A-Series have been reported with 593 in some cases.
-or- If you are going to the factory, now might also be a good time to get 585's that could be used for those of us with SeaDweller 1665 projects. (See Freddy333's post about the desire for these)
I am in also, GEN ETA, Clark Crystal for me.
Will the bezel accept a Gen insert? Also, I would be interested in SuperLume down the road.
I would also me interested in buying, a second one, it in kit form, or additional pieces. (i.e. case & dial)
Last thing: Did we decide on the NON-COSC dial?
Unfortunately, newsgroups are going the way of the Dinosaur. Like Gopher and Archie before. Problem is, most ISP's have dropped news servers, or contracted with third parties with bandwidth caps. That said, your only option is join and pay for a news service like GigaNews. Most of the content is available via Torrents these days, and the newsgroups ARE actually more closely monitored by LEA then the rest of the net.
Back in the day I used NewsShark. Haven't been on usenet in about 5 years now!
