that is spoken with a lot of humility R .. your frankens are 5 stars dude !!.. but we need your pics posted here please .. your frankens are a must post on this thread..

As Bette Midler said in ..THE ROSE .. " that's enough of me talking about me,.. now let's hear you talk about me ",.. But how about some of those past incredible reps.. like robertk states.. some incredible stuff !! Remember the Chopard.. that definately did not dissapoint.. even the sub rings were replicated superbly !! Or the Buzz over the Graham.. and Yes.. Stephane is now not a Rookie Mod anymore .. some leave some advance.. and some stay the same, a part of a wonderful community...

Since you are the "that member" that gifted me the parts for my dream Tudor .... I thank you kind Sir !!!! Shoot this was like the best Xmas in September.. It's great for the one whose generousity and kindness is answering this thread !!! I kinda like the big font .. but I will use the one that comes closest to yours R With Much Aloha R

common guy's .. don't tell me all of a suden everyone turn shy.. .. wazzzup ??? 2008 was a great year for reps.. no ?

Ainokea.... nah !!.. Aikea>>> congrats bruddah Robbie ..aass why hard .. too much pilikia... fo increase yo numba's take it light ma brah.. R

thank you S.. for verifying.. we can alway's count on you brah !!!.. ok.. I'll pack that one up..

arrghh... LOL.. waiting for a reply... .. but thanks CG.. Aloha Mai... Bruddah !!

A member was very gracious and hepled me immensley with my Tudor Franken Poject .. I would call it more than help.. and I would like to publically thank him.. but after I recieve his permission.. but for now I need some direction To the Tudor experts ... which would be the ultimate correct font for my Tudor Snowflake franken ? I have the genuine dial and hands .. movement .. crystal ..but would like to get the font spot on.. I am thinking the lower Ring font .. the larger font .. but should it be the thicker font.. ?? it will be going into and eta 2871 ...which has a DW .. is that the correct font.. ? thank you in advance guy's !! Please .. excuse the poor quality pics..

The Salmon SS dial is looking good.. as is the black dial SS ... hmmm.. black dial SS would be more versatile ... but the BR 02 first.. but which one.. Dots or Numerals.. sheesh ... no wonder I love buffet's

FYI .. the leather used is the waterproof variety .. so it should be a little rigid .. which is fine by me

Makes a whole lot of sense me thinks... ..

Do the Stenciled Numerals ..resemble another watch ?

I'm thinking of replicating this shot with one from Kahuku where we have the wind propellers too... just to convey that though we are oceans apart and have out differences..in culture and what not.. we are here for the same "love" .. or obsession Although it won't be as awesome as yours Pug.. .. 2008 was a "living lesson" in compassion fo sure..!! @Dave123... the Prophecy lives on..

Really .. ?? wow.. better edit.. hmm.. could of sworn..

THE YEAR THAT WAS ~ 2008 REMEMBERING 2008 THROUGH THE EYE'S OF RWG As we wind down 2008 with RWG, I thought it would be a nice finishing touch to the end of the year.. by posting your fav memories of 2008 through the watches..

Remember that ! and since RWG is "Much More Than Just Watches !" .. Post memories of your Newborns .. Marriages .. Divorces (humor.. Not) .. or what ever thrills you.. your New Car ..

Congrats RL... she is a beauty !! Live Strong and Wear it Well !! Aloha~Cheers lani

that is one bad boy you should have.. Ofrei has one with a digital read out for about 20 something USD No worries.. we'll get you more involved somehow Black Steel part II will be coming out.. without the ugency of the first.. there was ugency not so we would be the "first" to post pics,.. but becauseI needed to get it out before the American Thanksgiving Holiday.. my work has a lot to do with AD space..and the retailers for "Black Fiday",... so come closer to the day of the big sales .. work gets to be very intense and challenging.. with little sleep .. and this year's sense of ugency in the industry is for obvious reasons arond the world.. So the review had a definate time line for posting .. it had to be before the madness started before the weekend .. and like everyone else that post reviews or pictorials .. it takes loads of time anyway .. stay tuned for the follow up review .. it is more realistic to wear the timepiece and get a feel for it all .. so hence the follow up .. and to get members with the genuine article in hand to participate..

Yes,, but you'll get many members adrenaline going when they read that first line.. Live Strong and Wear It Well ~ S

Sell One of your chidren Stephane ? .. don't think so.. .. looks to good ... Breaking up the Rolex for at least one post.. I'm still wearing the Black Steel on... "Black Friday". I really like the "Chameleon" effect with the different lighting on the DLC'd case !

heard there is a sale going on @Ben Bridge Time Werks.. Ala Moana .... or save some gas and jus take her to Pearl Ridge..

Yes !! Indeed !! +1

I believe the hands may be different.. but they are not cheap even if you source them outside .. the A7750 is really a good movement .. but as Ziggy say's "if serviced properly the A7750 is a good movement".. now as I stated.. when my movements stopped it was jus the regulator arms that were somehow involved.. since I adjusted the arms, my Black Steel has needed only one minor adjustment to the + and it has been running spot on to my blackberry .. as has the grey and black dial skylands.. it is so easy to do.. if I can do it .. you surely can.. all you need is duct tape and a toothpick.. that's all the implements you will need. It was just a few of these movements that stopped .. it hasn't been problematic with all the A7750 released with the skylands.. IMO unless your going to use your Black Steel a lot then paying for a Swiss 7750 is steep .. because in the end you have an expensive movement in a Rep case . ... without genuine parts (franken parts) .. but if you want to spend the money.. example ~ Raymond,..aka.. rckh .. does not buy a lot of reps .. but the ones he does fancy and with very good taste.. usually have the ETA 7750 .. so he (IMO again) .. goes for very good quality and not too many other models and brands.. There.. those are some of the Pro's and con's to confuse you some more.. @breitlingomega ... maybe we can borrow some measurements off of you genuine .. sorry I wasn't thinking clearly earlier.. didn't eat for 7 hours .. I knew I was in for a gourging today.. do you have a caliper that can measure the pearl ?? .. it is not a big deal.. but now that andreww planted the seed it will linger until we get the answer.. OCD.. coming out..

Sounds like a plan.. thanks edit add: No need to BO .. enlarged some genuine pics.. the mark under the numerals as you say is.. a dash.. the replica dash is jus thinner and appears longer.. thanks for that correction..

the Swiss ETA 7750 is available with the Black Steel for about 1040.00 usd

congrats DL.. looks like another gem..
