this just happened... definitely in love!

Oh no!!! This is a very sad story... Bob Nanuq was a bright light of this forum... I'm so sorry for your loss; he will be sorely missed
Rest in Peace Bob!

I've been buying from Andrew for about 15 years (last purchase maybe 6 months ago), and it's mostly been good experiences, and if they weren't good, he fixed it up very quickly.

I've always had a good experience with ToroBravo... are you sure you're dealing with the real one?

Merry Christmas everyone!

Would be nice, but I doubt in our lifetime!

I think Jacob is in Spain and his straps are really great quality and pricing:

Old faithful 21 years with me... very comfortable on rubber!

Monta Noble on Erika's MN strap:

The smaller version of the classic U1 is the U50... much more forgiving on the wrist!

I don't know about you guys, but I'd love them to rep this rep!

Sinn U50 MOP!

Wow! Thanks PamMan! That is very useful information... I'm onto it!

Buy the Swiss ETA cannon pinion and swap them over. 

Thanks man... do you have a source? a part number?

I agree with Nanuq too!

Andrew at trusty time is a stand up man. There are so many variations of his domaine name that are riding off his coat tales. If you didn’t pm him directly your not dealing with him. Frankly your lucky to have got a watch period ordering off the fake trusty sites.

I secondyour sentiments... I've been dealing with Andrew (and Joshua) for well over 10 years and they are stand-up guys.

I believe you've been to an 'alternative' (fake) trustytime website... I'm amazed you got a watch at all!

How about white & black?

Trusty old SMP still a favorite!

That movement would be in Luminor/Luminor Marina models, circa 2002-2005

I've found that although RWI has a lot of useful information, my opinion is that a large proportion of the people there are total cnuts.

Hi guys!

First, I'd like to say Merry Christmas to you, and hope you and Yours have a (much) Happy New Year!

I've recently acquired a few Noob and HF Panerai (026, 056, 177, 390) models... Two of them have pretty crappy center pin polish jobs on them, mostly a rough conical shape as opposed to the properly done slightly domed and highly polished center pin.

To fix this, I thought to initially send one to my watchmaker to dome and polish...

He's come back saying that the pins seem to be chrome plated over some red (possibly brass) metal.

Has anyone experienced this, or even better, do any of you have a solution to these poorly manufactured center pins?
