Hey all I was just wondering if anyone knew of anywhere that sold correct hands for a 39mm Explorer 1? Or even if anyone knew the correct lengths?? (Are they really just 1016 hands??) There seems to be lots of places for Sub handsets but I've not really had any luck with a replacement handset for my Exp1! I have contacted some Dealers but as it's Chinese New Year, I don't want to bug them until they are back at work lol Any advice or recommendations are gratefully received! X

Boots Basic moisturised, £1.50 for a tub that lasts for ages. Not too greasy, absorbs quite well, is not marketed as being a 'wonder cream' to make you younger, fitter, and have sex with more ladies And twice a day supplements of high strength Fish Oil and Evening Primrose Oil, an A-Z multivitamin, Ginkgo Biloba, Ginseng, Zinc and Vitamin B12

As above, avoid ADs and stick to small 'family' shops

Just make sure you have something soft between the watch and the surface! If you need to unwind it, you can remove the caseback, take a small screwdriver, twist the crown to 'wind' it slightly and slightly disengage the click spring on the ratchet wheel (I think that's what it's called?), then push the click spring out of the way using the screwdriver so the wheel can move in either direction freely. BUT... As you push the clickspring, make sure to grip the crown firmly and only let it unwind slowly between your fingers. DO NOT let it unwind freely, that way lies broken movements!

haha! I think I will have to get one of these, although they are not cheap... Blue or white, though? White looks awesome but blue is more discreet and more wearable for work... I will just have to buy both, I think

Check out Wiz's watchworks on RWG1.1 / RWI

Great pics, thank you I want a 415, I just think they are a little expensive!

It's currently under attack so it will take a little time to get back up and running, but options are being explored and it will be up as soon as possible. EDIT: Too slow!

There are some ridiculous price rises in there. Check out the DSSD. Did it really need to go up 33% in 5 years? I don't think so...

You should send that picture to the Trusted Dealers and ask if they can get it, if you haven't already done so

I still love my prototype version, it's one of my favourites! I dinged the bezel slightly the other day, but strangely I actually like it more now, it feels more 'mine'

Luthier has previously said that he has flown into the US direct from China with 8-10 reps in his bag and never had a problem.

Interesting!

Still can't decide if I can afford this... Flights are only c.£50 but add in the travel at the other end getting to and from a good friend's house that kindly offered to put me up (£40-60), the food (£50?), the drink (£50+?), odds and ends while over away... I just don't think I can afford it!

Excellent, a UK rep-friendly watchsmith would be very handy!
