All joking aside.. Now THAT is how drilled lug holes should look like! Very impressive!

NICE!

A 50/50 repair cost split in case of unfortunate damage during shipping is not "all risk on the buyer" in my book. I think it's a pretty fair solution to a rare problem (if securely packed). However, if poorly packed then I'm all in for a 100% refund since the seller deliberately has taken big a risk. I have the same opinion if a parcel get lost when a seller ships without tracking number and not informing the buyer about it. Gen watches on the other hand is a different thing IMO. Because then you can actually use the shipping insurance if parcel get lost or watch is broken upon arrival, which minimizes the risk for both parties.

+1 There's always risk involved when shipping a watch as we all know.

Nice gen on the right there permabull..

Welcome to watch heaven! Enjoy your stay!

Hello there Mr. Willson.. Welcome to RWG!

Here's what I think: Congrats mate! I'm sure it will get a lot of wrist time!

+1 I highly doubt that tube is fixable. Get a new one while at it.

Hmm, I don't think there's any way I could fit 1,5mm thick springbars in my 3717 v1 EL's, because the 1,3's were tight enough. Which 3717 version do you have? Maybe the hole size differs between the versions? I suggest you get both sizes considering the question raised above.. The most effective tool I found carrying out the job in that tiny EL gap is a classic seam ripper from my wife's toolbox.

Haha! JK! J knows his stuff - and I'm sure the result will be outstanding - so just kick back, relax and enjoy the ride..

Conrats mate! Just make sure J doesn't Tudor engrave the case back just because he can.. Looking forward to see the final result!

Welcome! Enjoy your stay in these stable servers of vast horological knowledge!

Normally a EMS parcel should reach you in about a week. But doesn't Canada Post offer some kind of mail forwarding service for a while (for a fee?) when moving to a new location? If they do, sign yourself up and you'll have nothing to worry about.

Welcome to your new home plymman! Based on your exquisite taste, this is the place for you..

Me and db2 did an investigation on the 3717 springbars a while back and found the 1.3mm ones being the best match to the rep EL's.. They are quite bitchy getting back on though.. Best of luck!

Welcome to RWG king of spoof! Great choice on the concepta 3717.. I have one of those flieger frankens as well..

Congrats mate and thanks for everything this far! Here's to many more:

Amen! Hope all is well with 'em..

Looks like there'll be a very happy ending to this story very soon! And hopefully this will not the last (ever) watch purchase for Blobzor.. Nice!
