I agree there has been some recent tread crapping, and as long it is not a SCAM-- if you don't have anything good to say, why say it. This is buyer beware, and again, as long as it is not someone trying to sell a Canal St rep for $$$, it is the buyers responsibility to research what they are buying. However, on the first come first serve. It depends. I have seen, and agree/support people who post "This is not a race to PM me first - I reserve the right to sell to who I believe is the best buyer". Furthermore, posting in the thread, PM sent, does not necessarily guarantee your place in line. I have purchased at least 4 watches by PMing but having never posted to the sales thread. Given a choice during a sale between a Platinum Member with 1000 posts and a noob non-supporter who PM'd 10 seconds before.... Sorry, but to protect myself I would choose the Platinum guy. Again, posting PM SENT in the thread does not mean someone else hasn't stealthily beat you to the draw. Finally, some even cross-post sales between RG and here. So I agree on the thread crapping, but politely think the seller reserves the right to sell to whomever he/she wishes. Thanks! -Ronin

Wow, great value and classic good looks. -Ronin

Couldn't agree more. Seems odd. -Ronin

My first impression was she bought from a rep site. perfect-timing.biz ??? that immediately popped up some monkey flash game/ad. Bizzarro.... -Ronin

Rubber Cement-- Good Idea, and if it gets on the outside of the bezel, it jut rubs right off and should not leave a mark. Still-- does anyone have advice or experience R&Ring the entire Bezel? Ziggy? Popping them in and out will probably expand the holes a bit and compress the 'plugs' a bit, possibly making the problem worse or 100% reliant on good adhesive. -Ronin

I think this also applies to all the recent AeroMarine (Skyland, Fish, etc) series reps. I was planning on doing something similar, and although these bezels are a PITA to R&R, I still think the best course is to pop the bezel off and access them from back side. If I get around to doing it, I would try and peen them on the inside, and perhaps a dab of epoxy/JB weld. Loctite has been recommended before, but most Loctite formulas only cure in the absence of air ~ala threads. Your solution, however, is my backup plan, and a good one. -Ronin

EB watches caught my eye in the 2009 Buyers guide. Something to be said for their clean almost vintage design. For $500 a Gen, I would go for it. -Ronin

I can't say I like anything listed there. Is it me, or are the LUME Dots/Markers on those subs HUGE.... -Ronin

Thank goodness you are overall, ok. Curious if you were wearing a watch-- and was subject to the "Airbag Pushing Watch up arm and filleting/peeling back skin on your forarm" Get well, I was beginning to miss your Avatar. ;-) -Ronin

The 14060 parts are not interchangeable with a 16610 IIRC. Dial size is different, as is bezel. Case has lugs, etc. IIRC. HTH, -Ronin

Monday was: Tuesday: -Ronin

Nice project. The hands are a bit 'bright' for the dial. I have a similar issues on my 6536 project at the moment. Haven't had time to bake them. Keep up the good work. -Ronin

Nice. I enjoy mine as well. Red & Black straps are fantastic on this watch. The only Breit's with 24mm lugs are the Super Avenger (SA), SOH, and Bentley models IIRC. -Ronin

Interesting, it does not have the "square" second hand.... I wonder what version this is? I wonder if those are real screws in the bezel or plugs like in the recent verions. -Ronin

Fantastic. I came close to buying one last year when I was doing heavy ADV Motorcycle touring. I settled for a SPOT GPS tracker instead. GREAT WATCH. -Ronin

Thanks for sharing-- a good read. Welcome. -Ronin

Actually, it is 22mm not 24. Only the SOH & Bentley are 24. -Ronin

Usually, in these situations, the "lite" versions have the following lessor items: Asian movement non-saphire or differing crystal AR could be none or single -vs- in some cases double But the case is most likely the same, yes. YMMV -Ronin

Finally got this away from my wife. IT IS MINE for the weekend. 222.

Nice. I have to say I love bracelets for their ease of grab and go. That looks great. How about a shot of the clasp? The color looks pretty close... -Ronin

Star Wars (1977) Kill Bill Lost in Translation (I have way too many fav's to pick three, but those came to mind first...Honorable mention: Fifth Element, Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs.) Hmmm, top three per genre might be more fun. -Ronin

@ammandel - just an ultimate v2.5 with some modifications and a killer Ocean Racer Strap. -Ronin
