bones:

Honestly I think the bezel and dial are what makes the big difference. I know that these two items cost twice as much as the base watch, but after wearing this baby for a few days I hate to say this: it's worth spending the money (until they come up with a better version (and I wouldn't hold my breath for that)...

My mom lives in the South of France during the summer and all the rose wines from there are amazing for a hot day (and really inexpensive).

The rest of the year I prefer harder liquor, mainly rum. I live in Nicaragua and the Gran Reserva (7 years) from Flor de Cana is a great and affordable solution, but Zacapa from Guatemala 23 years) is the BEST

Looks like Budapest has come a long way.

I was there about 20 years ago and it was quite wild then.

I stayed in a hotel that was a boat moored on the river, fun, but not very chic.

Fond memories of a place called "Sweet Milk" and there was a cool club in some ruins on the top of a hill....

Maybe DW updated his case. I bought mine a few months ago and it has no indentations for the pushers on the back:

Wow - Singapure just moved to the top of my travel list for late 2011

Test driving this one for Serge:

Finishing a hard day of work in the carpentry shop with a nice al fresco dinner of sepia pasta with mahi-mahi and a bottle of prosecco while watching the sunset, not too bad:

Leather Nato:

I wonder from what parts they put this one together.

The oversize case makes the whole dial look disproportioned.

But then $78 ...

Just looked up the gen and love it, would look great on a solid steel bracelet too (like a Pre-Daytona):

So far my water watches are GWSD and PloProf:

But i have a feeling the AP Diver V2 will be my swim watch for 2011 (here only V1):

I aged the NDT bezel (to bring out the brass) and I took down the highest part of the insert (it's a bit too high compared to gen pics), still need to round of the edge where it drops off, but it is easy to sand and polish.

I didn't touch the ImGod dial, it was perfect IMO, but I aged the hands to match the gilt dial.

The constant quest to find an alternative to the metal bracelet for Rolex sport models.

I have experimented myself quite a bit and have to say that at least at wrist shots this looks quite good ( I usually have the problem that it doesn't look so good anymore when looked at from a bit further away and the watch suddenly looks a lot smaller than on the bracelet).

This strap looks good, but $200 is a bit steep IMHO

The only other rubber I ever liked was a vintage tropic:

I am not an expert, but IMO the Yuki case is just as wok-ish as the PT, but a lot more money and you can use the movement, DW, hands and great bracelet of the PT.

I think InGod still has the dial (I already bought two from him).

I know some people say that lug holes are out of place on the PT, but I don't think it's that bad:

It's a PT donor watch with an ImGod dial, NDT bezel and insert and Clark 25-116 crystal.

It's not for sale (I am putting it together for a great member at another forum)

Just checked: No glow on the PT bezel.

The NDT looks much better IMHO and supposedly they have one that glows (this one doesn't either):

As for the wok: I could reduce it quite a bit using a InGod dial that I slightly larger.

I just rolled up sandpaper and went until I got as close as I could to the diameter of the dial, took a couple of hours....

Fresh out of the camera:

Can't believe nobody picked up this strap at yesterday's sale (plenty of Daytona owners here...).

But I am happy to wear it myself now

I tried it, but it does funny things to my skin tone (looks real dirty).

Maybe I just don't know how to use it....

Didn't post yesterday because I was working on this:

Now at the airport with a 2 hour delay and playing with the phone camera:

Been working on this all evening:

Good night....

What happened to jobbing at the gas station.

He should at least keep one (in case he is gonna have more kids.....)
