Resurrecting and old thread: Now that The Zigmeister has officially retired, are there any known modders who have executed this mod well? The results Sander achieved were outstanding!

I know this is really late to the party but is there another dealer that carries MBW parts? Tony

Put me in for a set as well! (thanks for the tip, Doc!!!)

Hello Simon, Im in for a pair....if there are any left! Tony

Jay, that 233 never ceases to amaze. The rep versions have a loooooong way to go! Tony

I cant wait for my 5002! The crystal is off for a little Chief magic at this time. Yeah that does look like the faux PR version...it has the correct dial, yes? Too bad you cant have both on this watch...but since I had to choose, I went with the correct dial. Wear it well!

Fidestro is 100% correct...of all the things to be pilloried for by the press and the ever agile minds like those of Master of Puppets, the last thing a public official wants to be known for are his/her personal excesses. We all witnessed how Clothes-gate knocked Ms. Palin down a peg or two in the media...

Aye, thanks! As I mentioned previously that pesky deployant pops open all the time... So Im thinking about having Zack (Red12) build a strap...I know that in order to get the classic aviator shape Ill have to go with a smaller buckle. Hmm, something to think about... Tony

Hey I just ran across these same buckles on E-Bay. Is this where you sourced yours? Im having a BP 5002 modded and I really dont like the deployant....so Ive been looking around for some alternatives. $35 for a 20mm buckle is a bit pricey, yes? Tony

Lani is indeed the expert, but I can see where folks have been critical of the rep strap. The sides have this weird plastic coating that looks well quite synthetic. The rest of the strap looks pretty good tho! Tony

Yes I read that you should start with the heavier grain and then work up to the finer grit...just like sanding wood! Ill purchase from eBay...thanks!!!! Tony

Yeah, he had several gunshot wounds, she had a single one to the head. Im guessing that he tried to break it off and go back to his wife and kids...she took exception. It is pretty awful. The French have an expression...he who has two lovers will end up with none! Uhh, unless of course you are Tom Brady and can successfully knock up models/actresses in succession. Oofah! Tony

Hello RWG/RG members...has ANYONE had any luck with diamond lapping paste for scratches? Ive heard both that its miracle stuff and that it was also a bust! Insight anyone????? Thanks, Tony

RedSoxMan is very astute...for the amount of time, money, and passion that are all poured into the hobby there is generally little public attention paid to the results. So if anyone thinks that a Hublot with a ceramic bezel will get you laid, then that fella is in for some unfotunate news and possible a protective order. I think I can always tell the members who are truly obsessed because they are eager to show off their multiple briefcases of watches and proudly proclaim that they are unworn and in pristine condition. My guiding principle is never to buy more than I would wear AND always buy the better quality items. That should keep me from sinking into Dante's 5th stage. Oh and so long as I can admire my watch at the dog park or while pounding out a mundane email at work, then I can achieve inner peace! Tony
