Cant wait to get mine!!

Very nice review and outstanding style yours! very nice combination, gold cufflinks and two tone watch. If you guys have alredy bought this beauty, then you will only need the cufflinks, I remember about a very nice pair of gold cufflinks offered in the members section wich will match perfectly with this watch.

hehe thats from the purists uh? How can he come with a short sleeve shirt with such watch! let me picture it too: Should we drive a bentley with trainers?

my last watches: Franken 15000, gen case and dial, new crown installed and high quality band from Homer. Custom made spacer ring, water pressure tested.... It has found a new owner, btw... WM 1680, yes it is white.

Mine is alredy oredered. Nice to know that. Where did you read that bytheway?

Then your father is part of this clan

Nice finding vmena. This has been overlays afternoon for me. Does the 16013 have plexyglass or shappire? According to some old posts, I think ubiquitous has a eta 2836 installed there. Is right?

AP T3.. I like AP END OF DAYS MUCH BETTER. Limited to 500 pieces. But that is a dream wathc. Too expensive for me.

very informative post, thanks!

THanks!

Youtube video Very funny. Go take a look.

I am impressed...It is very beautiful TTK.

the temptation is strong.

I am sure people would mod their reps only if they have the propper tools. How much is a dremmel then?

Ho ho! THis guy promises! Nice to meet you Dee1

I was looking for this picture a long time. It was first released in Life magazine. Every high militar in Cuba had a rolex gmt. The cia guy who killed him kept his rolex watch and used to showed it to friends.

that submariner has a very desirable dial. I know why people do prefer the mbw/wm when it comes to vintage. Fitting genuine parts is no wonder, is a fact. I myself have ordered a white 1680 from WM Its the sub I like most.

According to our mistery mbw collector there arent. there are however franken daytonas for sale but price is different from one to other based upon movement condition. Who told you that?

Here in Spain we dont have such restrictions.

I need to read something funny.

Hi Joe, I will email you but I first want to add anything more here due to the fact that this issue has become public: My only mistake has been going public due to a missunderstanding. From September 26 to a few weeks ago I was a lot of a hell busy due to exams and university issues, so I didnt contacted you despite i was a bit [censored] off and this feeling was growing and growing on me. And I saw the opportunity at ubi post instead of saying things face to face. Mea Culpa Why was I [censored] off then? I must say that when I received the watch I expected something tangible thing instead of credit. (some money refund or some parts for the reps) I know I made this statement clear. (check the email). So when i saw that the parcel didnt have a spare part nor I didnt see any money refund in paypal I was a bit sad and I tought you were cheating a bit. You know I insisted about some tangible thing instead of credit because I was not planning to send anything else to usa. So i think there is a missunderstanding at all, perhaps you didnt read that email line asking for some tangible thing instead of credit, and of course I was a bit sad and busy to take this issue back so I decided to wait until I have more time to disscuss. You know there has not been any communication between us since September 26 and the reason was because I was sad with you. I admit I was a bit sad and I tried to show some irony at the trc post saying something about the credit line which of course nobody understood but me. I know about the shippping costs to Spain, and about the rest of the fund, since I am not planning to take advantage of that credit for any watch of mine, please give that credit to ubiquitous or other member with pending orders. As I said before I dont want credit. ...Or perhaps you can send me some spare part for my project. My fault has been this visceral reaction and going public. I was not honest at all with you Joe, and I sincerely wished having the watch completed instead of getting a watch from luckyyy and Oliver because the project between you and I stalled a lot. What I really wanted was to hurry you. So I apologize in public to Joe for going public. Nobody should care about us. I was honest however when I told you to get well back soon and all that. A lesson I remembered today is first say things face to face instead of going public with anybody else in this forum. Joe I will email you to talk about our differences. Best Regards, Manuel

Joe, I am going to edit my previous post. I didnt read your post in this thread. Yes, it is true about that i wanted to sell my parts, because in the meanwhile i got a datejust from Oliver, so I tought I wouldnt need another datejust and decided to sell the parts. Yes, we talked about the watch project, but despite that, the project stalled. I admit I had my parts back soon after i demanded, I was patient enough, until i decided to sell the parts instead of waiting more and more to see the project accomplished. I will email you tomorrow because i have things to do now. The credit thing was a proposition from you, what i wanted was a partial refund or some parts in exchange, and I insisted about the parts but got nothing instead, yes you can see email. August 17 Regards, Manuel.

I am sorry, I dont want to hijack the thread. The title is very explicit, and I want to reply as well as others: Joe is a nice guy, he has been through difficult moments due his illness. We all are happy of having him back. I hope Joe would help me with other pending issues. I know he is truly a gentleman and a very reasonable guy. I can comment on his labour skills, I wish I would, but I wouldnt. Joe, I will email you. Regards
