Tudor is nice...yours is in mint condition..
-
very nice rep. Does this model fit genuine movement? Just curious wear it well.

The correct datewheel is not valid for current etas. Ofrei sells them, but it counts opposite eta datewheel does. So we have to change the whole movement. Right Randy?

Have You Met Someone From This Forum, In Real Life?

not yet, but i did met their sisters -
Thanks Nanuq, you see i still have to learn a lot about vintages. The thing i noticed is that the holes in the lugs are very small. See pic 3 and you´ll know what i am talking about. I will change the crown, make holes bigger and put genuine springbars. Genuine cristal, sure! What about changing movement and buying a Schild like ubiquitous does? It is just because the direction of the datewheel. The hands are very new. I think I´ll need to vintagize it before wearing it. But i feel lucky about having this precious watch in my hands.

Hi, I´ve just received a 1680 mbw from luckyyy. if you are reading this Luckyyy, thanks for this beatiful watch. Well, it arrived at my office today, after three weeks. I had patience and i was told to wait. When it arrived i was so happy that i didn´t even ask the guy from letters and parcels about why they didn´t told me that. I asked luckyyy for a white submariner, but he may considered i´d like the red instead. I noticed that the lume on the dots don´t glow in the dark and the hands very little, but that is an easy fix. the thing that bothered me a bit is that the bezel doesn´t sound, it doesnt play clicks, i thik it may be damaged, any fix? all in all this is a very good looking watch... but i will change the crown and the insert, and i will try to wonder whats about the bezel. Regards! a pic: other: and other: To Randy: granite power Thanks for reading and don´t hesitate to make comments and suggestions.

Big Red Joe Needs To Improve Communication Skills ;-)

i read the "unabomber manifesto" word by word and i found it quite realistic. Joe, if you are reading this please check your email. Thanks and get well soon. -
I love depeche mode too...their lyrics are deep and hard and frustrating....and i like that. i like Kitaro too. he is very powerful. His songs reminds me about my past lifes in ancient times when i used to run naked through princess and godess. Too bad these weeks i only hear voices surroundind my head: YO KILL THEM ALL KILL THEM ALL ARGH...

Slay has a lot of connections from the good old days.... having partners such as dimitri golubev and friends from Mogilevich get things usually done. And that pays off... 800 usd is a dime for Slay, I remember when we putted some good dope over Tiffany´s vases. Slay likes vintage rolex a lot, but i´ve been told he is more into diamonds harry winston and Marc Jacob watches.....

How about the rehaut? which datewheel did you put? can this sub beat a modern mbw? Nice watch. the date mag is ok imo, actually they have weaker magnification

Are they supossed to tell you that is asked directly? I´ve seen in some movies a guy asking the law enforcement guy to say if yes or not. Maybe we should ask to the infinite this question: Are you working or affiliated in any way to Law enforcement or ar you a [censored] cop or wathever?

i logged into rwg1. i just wanted to post somthing in the questions&answer thread and i got banned or whatever. I will post that however: Blade, buy a lexus instead of an acura. you won´t regret that... :wink: btw, nice to see another soul in the community.. I understand your decision about using other name in the boards. I would do that if i were you. but i will never be you, because you are blade and I am manuel. Rya has been speculating about the posibility of you giving us a secret embedded message on the christmas logo. I can´t see anything there but a sad rudolph... would you please clarify this to us? Of course he wont clarify anything since we dont know his name and he is not willing to say that. I think that would have been a great opportunity to clean his name. Hidding himself with another nick shows nothing but a lack of madurity.

Read a true story about JOE and tell all your friends !
manuel replied to namor's topic in General Discussion
Hi everybody! being out of the forums for a weekend and voilaa! The JOE Thread. The same happened when RWG.CC was born. I didn´t know that until 2 days after. BOYS, I Cant Let You alone ! Look at this mess.... I´ve been in the forums a year or so. I think we have always admired Joe´s work. Thats why i decided to send a datejust kit (had the parts but need to be mounted) to him because I lack the tools and the "know how" He clearly stated that: -he doesn´t like to pad prices because he likes to make a decent wage. -he is not responsible for any loss and that he likes to say that to people. I agreed with that and i wont discuss about prices here because thats not from a gentleman... what i find sad, (but now i find a bit more obvious due to his job volume), is that he didn´t remember me and I had to remind him who i was and what was the project about.... The watch left Spain on 7 March...after some inquiries from me i realised that the "green box" had arrived... Since he said he was ill i only wrote 2 emails because i didn´t want to bother him (others may do that i supossed)....and i had no reply at all. This last weeks I had time to imagine a lot of things: -joe´s home was randomly assaulted by a western rap gang and as a result all the watches were seized. Now they are wearing our watches at the MTV! -he embraced nanuq´s practices and ended up burning all the watches. Well...Joe get well soon! Regards, Manuel PS: I agree about alerting members about members, but Joe will deliver to all. I ended up buying a mbw 1680 whiteletter, hope it will arrive and will post pics. -
thats the answer to sw*tch group about stop supliying eta ebauches! haha you sw*tch loosers!

hi guys I have bad news.... John and the actor went to the rolex ad this morning... of course it turned out to be a fake watch. John and the actor were beaten almost to death by the secturity staff of the ad. then they were putted on a black bag and they are on the way to geneve in switzerland. they may end in The Hague for commiting such crimes...

@Slay: You are really making me to be suspicious! you know way too much about this scammers. let me tell you that i remember the cc dumps wave almost 3 years ago....(operati*n firewall...) remember the cp and sc board....all got jailed man. script was said to be arrested by the ukranian militia, Secret Service, also Europol...what about scarface, michael knight,...not to mention the ebay dudes that were selling cc skimmers, others e-gold hijacking services and ebay accounts at ridiculous prices....i still keep my old 6 digit icq number..you know why.... are you a survivor then? -
el primero 400, a guy from timezone grabbed a complete el primero 400 watch for the dime of 1500 usd at dubai duty free. what would you buy then: a EP 400 or a bulgari diagono? People say that zenith is strong at saudi countries and that everybody there love it.

auction Its a clean movement, but not very robust imho. will they last as miyota do? Regards!

i am excited about saying that i jumped on a mbw 1680. White letter dial. I don´t know when the 16200 will arrive. i cant do anything but wait. now with the other on the fly, i don´t mind it all. About the spacer ring..what diameter should it have? I know a street place where i can source 50 of them, but i need the right diameter. 17j means hand winding mechanism? lemania, poljot? will that movements fit into a daytona case? Best regards to all.
