Ronin

I too seemed to miss this thread, as things have been hectic.

GET WELL SOON....

Surprised no one mentioned-- if you do the swap, there is a slight difference in hand sizes between the A7750 28.8 and Val/ETA 7750. The large chrono seconds hand will need forced or broached IIRC.

Great Pics!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Classic. Thanks for sharing. I think I need to watch Caddy Shack now...

Very Nice. This is what this hobby is all about.

Nice, would be interested to see some outdoors, daylight pics.

Has this started already and I missed the thread???

Ditto.

If you are only trying to change a pesky pearl here is another tip/trick:

Hot Glue a Tooth Pick -or- Epoxy/Superglue a finishing nail to the Pearl. When the glue or epoxy dries, pull up on the toothpick or nail and Viola!

Be careful not to use too much that could spill over making matters worse.

HTH

Rough Play requires:

I dunno. A step in the right direction, maybe, and if demand is high enough the 40mm market might expand into V2 and V3 supers. Wishful thinking.

My wife has said she wants a GEN 048 and no substitutes. So much for my wallet .

Guys, is it possible to remove the cyclops off these crystals? I've seen it done on various aftermarket rolex ones but not sure about these PAM crystals.

IIRC soak in Acetone, if it is the adhesive type. Some of the brave Rolex guys actually use a chisel and hammer. Sapphire is tough I guess YMMV

Now:

Later:

24mm = Yes

You will need a > 7" wrist for this:

There is no such thing as Bad Publicity.

Rep's and these forums are some of the BEST FREE advertising for the Manufacturers.

Reps in many cases are like a gateway drug. Many of us own Gen's, or move up and on to Gens. To squash this community would be dumb. Especially in the current economic climate. True, some will never pony up the $$$$ for a gen, but wearing that rep Rolex in public ~might~ cause an average person to buy a Rolex.

It is not until the math works in their favor that anything will or should be done. If reps turn into Napster/torrent equivalent popularity, maybe then we will have a problem. In these economic times it is not even worth it to pay their lawyers.

As for PayPal, the ONLY reason they would be here is if they are "investigating a specific dispute". They are NOT in the enforcement business. They only "React" when needed. They are not paying someone to actively police this stuff. Remember, to THEM, the more transactions that flow through them the more $$$ THEY make as well. Ignorance is bliss in most cases.

Another 029.

Anyone know if these can be upgraded to a 2893 movement. Hands and Datewheel compatibility?

Q = added since Ronin was taken already (abandoned account here). Q as in James Bond Q-Branch. (Pulled this outta my arse)

Incredible. I know who I am getting in touch with if the need ever arises.

Managed to steal this BACK from my wife.

Very nice. I do agree you need a 14060.

Love your 1680

Good for you, be strong. I lost my Mother to smoking related causes, and my Father-In-Law just got done with Chemotherapy for Lung Cancer from Smoking.

I still love an occasional Cigar, but Cigarettes- no thank you.

Stay with it!
