For those of you who have not checked out the image that have been submitted to the Photo contest.. YOu are missing out.. these are really some of the best .. as far as imagination and creativity .. they deserve a look.. Pix... his portrayal of world time.. reminds me of astro projecttion dreams... to depict the spirit of the timepiece leaving for the night.. .. Coool. Here's what I'm glad to propose : Worldtime means night and Day, we have a day dial mixed with a night one. Several hands showing different times... Worldtime is also night : night allows our Spirits to raise and enter the World of Dreams. Therefore the Soul of my watch leaving its steel body... Worldtime is The World : Mother Earth, Sun, and Planets sorry gotta run out... I'll post more of the contestants pics.. soon

My Ubifranken 9411 Snowflake been on most of the weekend ~

Another Beauty D !!

If I can find them when I get home later today.. but if they replicated the lumeto the genuine specs.. it resembles the BP 5004 with the hour and minute hands lumed stronger and the markers lumed a weaker C1. only the 12,3,6,9 markers are lumed on the TG. Ceramic.

The markers are the same as the 3717 (glued on blocks) .,. so yes they can be removed and relumed.. I would say it is a must... same as the 3717 eventually you will want it done properly J,.. I'm really surprised it's not part of your collection..

Cool Narrative to go with the piece Ubi !! Congrats to the Mrs. and you for your happy ending Live Strong and Wear it Well R

Hey Steve.. the #1 horologist that we all learn from here is ZM .. his reviews and tutorials cannot be found on any other forum ! Genuine nor Rep. they cover everything form "self winding" auto movements.. pit falls of.... ZM's reviews cover everything that has to do with the A7750 and most important the "Why's" Believe me when I say you will be much better for reading them.. If ya don't, you may regret it later .. A~C Lani

all these Q's can be found by doing a little search in ZM's section.. and yes day/date change even with genuines need to be done a proper way.. why would "instructions" be posted if they made no sense.. A~C L

Going White for Thursday And to balance it out ~

Hey pix.. I don't know if we can call this a 'scam' as much as one person getting in over thier head in jobs.. althought the green/yellow ar is puzzling as I would bet my collection it did not come from chiefs Coater,.. if it was coated by another source.. then the verb your using does apply .. imo. but we need solid proof of that. .. as it may have been faulty prep on Rocketeers end... discolouration has a strange way of surfacing after awhile. And I do believe that the Admin team.. at least here on RWG.. has a stringent system in place for not only modders but sales of high end items and members that are selling them also.. all for our protection. it would be good for one of them to explain these checks and balances they have for high end sales items etc. but the best protection we have is warning each other and posting questions about modders outside of ZM and Vac. .. it's the only way we can assure the safetey of the NOOBS that are climbing on board.. as I learned the hard way.. I don't want to see everyone have to go through that as you all are doing now.. Edit add:.. as a note.. in the future there will be more talk.. of the rah-rah- nature for someone clainming to be a modder and enticing members (and I'm not talking about RWG) .. it'll be up to all to decide from past experience weather to roll the dice or stick with RWG's "trusted" and "proven Modders" .. of which are 2 ZM and Vac. anyone else claiming to be a modder with a store at RWG is NOT !!. but check with anyone at the Admin Team.. if you are approached by someone offering services. A~C L

sorry DP..

IN AND OVER THE TOP ... bite off more than one can chew.. same senario different dates.. Point of "FACT" chiefs AR coating, and I have gotten quite a few of my crystals coated.. have never come back "discloured".... I have seen yellowish AR'd crystals ... these have been factory reps that have turned yellow with age... but not one from CT. The only variance that I have noticed on CT's AR is due to the curvature of the crystal and not the QC of the AR... and I am talking a very small percentage of difference.. of course with a domed xtal your going to get a different look than a flat one.,.. but still colourless none the less. Loyalty is a good thing.. but "blind" loyalty is something entirely different... ZM has stated the facts and only the facts from Mods gone bad, even to take time to post pics with detailed explanations... yet other forums bash that which is evident right in front of their noses. Makes you wonder who's trying to fool whom. As far a Zapedeus's comments.. it's obvious to me where he makes his Forum Home, and it's not here... so his comments were like that of a mosquito buzzing around ones ear.. won't last, and can be ignored I would like to make this point; It's high time for all members to take OWNERSHIP and RESPONSIBILITY .... everything from supporting their forums to making decisions based on those who have traveled down the path ... If you have read ZM's post before and choose to ignore..... "we" ..... have no one to blame but ourselves !! If you are new here.. ask.. do not hesitate to post a question... unless you want to learn through mistakes which may cost you $$$$... no matter how trivial it may 'sound" we are here to support this hobby for everyone... Inclusive !! This has been a (IMO) great thread.. hopefully more members will have been enlightened to the "modders" that mod for money, and go in over their heads.. and those that "know what they're getting into and doing".. which RWG endorses only 2 !! ZM and Vac... A~C Lani

SWEEEEEETT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A good watch for anyday BT !! These 2 for Wednesday PO Black Steel

Well said P ... the problem IMO lies that the only time members post here is when something like this occurs.. if they would have been here more often they would surely have read ZM's thoughts on modding and modders and his endorsement of Vac as the only Modder that is worth a look at. in the past few years this has been a topic that has been of great concern.. RWG .. again this is just one members opinion.. is the only forum where these threads can be discussed freely without moderation unless it gets ultra abusive.. then it has been my observation ... that's when the Mods step in ..not before. for those who these issues have not been discussed and the "dead horse has not been beaten".. then go back and you will find a mirad of threads that deal with this very issue. ZM.. has warned us until he is Blue in the face... but members gravitate to other forums.. for wahtever reason.. time to see the forest from the trees so to speak.. A~C Lani
