Watchrecon brought the feature back. The best way to browse VRF = Goto watchrecon.com select options and select VRF. If you leave the search box blank you will get all or you can, for example, type in 5513, etc.

Richard Carver is still running it on a Windows 95 box-- can't you tell. Best bet is to use Watchrecon.com --- Watchrecon USED To allow you to filter by forum, but for some reason removed that option. (If anyone has in-roads with them, tell them to bring back the per forum feature)

I stumpled upon an eBay sale of 1570 powered watch that much to my surprise had a 1520 Balance installed in it. After some Google searching, another thread was discovered on TRF which appears to support its intechangeability. (Both 1570 & 1520 - 19,800BPH) Based on this information, if you should find yourself DIY servicing a 1570, and say don't want to mess with the micro-stella regulating tool-- a 1520 Balance can be dropped in and regulated like the ETA & Miyota(based) movements we are used to regulating. Now I realize this is probably a sin to many, but it does provide options. Thoughts?

In 3 - 2 -1, Esquire will take a heap of 5hit for this from their advertisers who make the real version of the Homages presented. I won't be surprised when that article goes offline.

You will need a Prepaid "World" or Travel version. If you are in the US, try AAA for a travel version. The basic grocery store Prepays will fail since it is routed thru Russia.

Attempted again. This time Payza tripped a fraud alert on my Visa card. Just spent 10 minutes on the phone getting it lifted. Tried again, and Payza is still declining the transaction. I will give it a few hours to uncache and try again. Wish I could just PayPal one of the Moderators here and have them forward the funds to you T. P.S. According to Visa the transaction is routing to MOSCOW. Joy!

Excellent. I think I will start with the Freddy route.

That's what my search turned up.

Thanks. These are the DOTS on a DateJust. Can you build up that Acrylic Glow Paint?

I am making my next progression in WISdom. I have the need to remove Tritium dial plots. Any suggestions? In replacing said Tritium, any recommendations for its replacement. It does not need to glow, or can be low intensity to match a vintage dials age. Thanks,

Anyone?

Just tried to get to Payza via Upgrade/Renew/ and Store. No luck. Sorry, you don't have permission for that! [#20X72] The purchase you are trying to renew already has a pending invoice which has expired. Please contact us for further assistance. In the meantime, any chance you can lift the PM Messenger limitation? When the system dumped me from Platinum to Member it rendered my "Huge Mailbox" perk to NO Mailbox since I am over limit. Link to Payza?

Oddly enough. My COSC (chronometer) "Ball Watches" ETA based keep the best time, followed by my Kingston (ETA) regulated in 6 positions. These are more accurate than my Rolex's 3135's and Omega Co-Axial surprisingly.

I am still failing to see the "armed guard" logic. For years, banks have had armed guards, and banks still get robbed. Short of "Secret Service" level protection, the "rent-a-cop" armed guard will just be the first target of the crazy person. You also have situations like Aurora Theater shooting where he was wearing body armor. A non-body armored guard would not stand a chance, other than possibly seeing them coming.

A prelim Google Search did not get me the info. Does anyone know if Rolex actually ever made Pointed Crown Guard "Root Beer" 1675's? Thanks!

T, Has there been any talk about Lifetime or "Extended" membership periods? I would really love to just pay one big chunk and never have to deal with these issues again?

ARGH!!! Same here, lost my Platinum status, and now my Personal Messenger is broken / at capaicity. What is the fix. Can we just go to some LIFETIME / YEARLY setup. Come on. I have been Platinum since 2009. HOOK ME UP GUYS!!! Stop auto-expire until this paypal thing is fixed. Thanks!

Late to the debate, but a few "observations". IMHO, this will add little value. Any "calculating" psycotic(s) (think Columbine), would simply: 1.) Learn the rounds the security guard makes around the school, allowing for an attack when the armed officer is furthest from the target zone. 2.) Kill the armed guard first. Ok. Correct me if I am wrong but, the 2nd amendment reads: A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed. Breaking it down. The "Militia" is to protect the "State" aka The USA from "outside" threats. Given elected majority, the Militia is NOT about overthrowing the a/current elected US Government. That would be punishable as Treason under Article III, Section 3. (In 1791 when the 2nd Amed was penned this could have been the British, French, etc. NOT George Washington because you didn't like his wooden teeth). Also, in 1791 the prevailing weapons technology was; Muscat, Bayonnet, and Cannon's. That said, I say you can own as many Muscats, Bayonnets, and hell- all the 1791 era Cannon's you can store. Restricting AK's, AR's, and high capacity magazines are NOT in conflict.

Craptastic. Until OFICIALLYCERTIFIED gains a space and the Wok is reduced this is not worth $50.
