Greetings,

I just downloaded the music and look forward to a great sound for trimming the tree this weekend!

Best wishes for a peaceful, and fun filled Holiday Season!

Jim

What you guys need is a real Monster-------The Yao Monster Bund

What movement does it have? Should be starting with a 5

Jim

No, unfortunately.

This is the one:

It's the black outer ring. It was produced in a very brittle plastic and many were cracked and then removed and never replaced. It seems like it would be simple to produce them if I could find someone to do it.

Jim

I would love to find a source that can make inserts for vintage watches. I've got two Seamaster 300's without bezels. Omega doesn't make them any longer. The case numbers are 14755 and 165.014 and they take the same bezel.

Does anyone know of a source for custom inserts? Pictures and sizing is no problem.

Thanks,

Jim

Rob,

I'm in need of a sweep hand to fit my DW 6263 VJ 724. Do you by chance have any?

Please let me know.

Best regards,

Jim

One more BUMP to keep this active!

Jim

I'm interested and will wait.

Patience is a ?

Jim

The dial is fake. The coronet is almost touching the tip of the triangle.

My 2 cents.

Jim

Hey Jimster, I'll trade you my OEM '67 5513 and my OEM '66 1675 for your 1655

And I'm very serious.

Thanks for the offer but I have to pass. I've got a 5513 with an old fold over bracelet, gilt hands, and well used. My 1675 is long gone. In the 80's I used it as partial trade for a yellow president which I subsequently used for a trade for an 18k Sub with a very blue gone to purple dial.

I really love the NATO strap on the 5513. I've got one for a Seamaster 300, 165.024 that I'm finishing as we speak.

You've got two sweet watches!!

I bought an Orange Hand in 1978 because I was tired of seeing my 1675 on everybody else.

It was and is unusual. But I really got to like the fixed bezel and It just seems "right sized" for my rather small wrist. I don't wear it as much any more but still enjoy looking at that big orange hand.

I'm not aware of Ken?? Can you give us some details?

Thanks,

Jim

Any updates from Silix?

Jim

Mark,

Will you be doing another run of 7753's?

I need one for my 188.

Thanks,

Jim

Any updates from Paul?

Jim

PM sent for 2.

Thanks for all your attention to detail Randy.

Jim

Hi Jim,

No and No

I opened it and it's an asian 21.

It is thus the exact same watch as reviewed by By-tor.

One remark: I won't try to regulate the time at all on this one as it is 5 seconds too fast in 48 hours (very impressive for a 100$ watch no ?)

Cheers

Stephane

Stephane,

Thanks for the information. I didn't thoroughly read your post or I would have seen the $95 price. What a great watch for the $$.

Cheers,

Jim

A tribute to By-Tor's review ,

After having read your Omega Seamaster GMT review several times I couldn't live without it.

I decided to chase one with the correct date wheel and date window...

6 weeks of searches, mails back and forth and it finally arrived today (from Andrew by the way).

So, many thanks for giving me such a great tip.

I guess I will wear it for a while and probably sleep with it too

Stephane

PS: as we both use the same wood background for our pics I'm too shy to post some here

Stephane,

Does your GMT have a Swiss movement and correct hand length?

Jim

I feel like I'm in Final Jeopardy............do, do, do,do..............

Jepp,

That's a fantastic watch!

I have a question on the dial.

Please PM me,

Thanks,

Jim

Greetings,

Please put me down for one.

It would be great to have the correct end links. I believe the number is "65" for that 7206 if I remember correctly. Note the difference in the detail on the end link. Thiose end links were "fixed" to the bracelet.

Jim

Check out this one:

This is good read on the subject:

So, what do you think?

Jim

Yup,

It was Wristwatch and if I remember right he was asking $175.
