I don't think Ziggy does AR crystal anymore... The UV glue won't set until it is exposed to a UV light fixture or the Sun.. it says it will start bonding in 20 seconds.. with firm bonding in a few minutes and the excess can be cleaned with acetone or alcohol.. an exacto knife should do the trick I managed to get the back surface clear of any particles... it now needs to be put in the ultrasonic so no residue will hinder the coating.. that's Chiefs Turf.. now I just hope the AR takes..

Freddy .. your playin around right.... ???? you OK mano ??

The "Pics" or "Images" do look good .. but I tend to take a pessimistic approach to a site that has such realistic drawings and images.. with no pricing I would love nothing more than to be proven wrong in my doubting that this is in fact ... a site that you could not trust.. but I think we have learned not to be so trusting... when ... something is too good to be true .. it usually is.. to good to be true.. I am much more sceptical when some of the images look like an artist rendering of the timepiece.. I would say if anyone is willing to play the roulette wheel, then ... good luck ~ Lani Edit Add: this is there "Mission Statement" Scary... ..

2 defective,... I ordered a few extra for this event................... but all are wrapped and ready to be shipped. fingers crossed from here on...

Starting Monday with my 250 Ziggy-Chieftang-kuzer OEM crown PO Pumpkin for Tuesday

Sorry mj .. I can hear the verbs flying already !! . . . . . . . . . .

True Story ~ I was putting the movement back in the case and had pressed the crystal back into the case.. I had the screws and straps for the movement bezel under the open case .. in other words the crystal and the case were upright with the srews under the crystal.. I went to pick up a strap with my tweezers and thought I was loosing it.. BIG TIME !!.. cause i could not grab the strap.. DOH... the "invisible" crystal was blocking my tweezers...

Panerai 250 ..Ziggied... No Doubt ! .......Finished off with Chiefs Singularly SPECTACULAR AR COAT... Ziggied .. SL .... Full A7750 serviced... kruzer OEM crown... Modded DW did not work .. am I dissapointed.. (a little) but this is the nature of the Hobby.. there will be another (I hope) until then I can enjoy all there is with Ziggy's Art and Chiefs "other dimension" AR coat.. What a Combo.. like Batman and Robin.... Steak and Potatos ... Goldwyn-Mayer.... ... Enjoy the Art Aloha~Cheers R

an example of how corrosive this substance is .. as soon as it hits oxygen .. I had to leave the mag in the solution for a little over a day.. that UV glue is something else. ! the mag is @11:00

EDIT ADD: 8/12/08... All mags were sent out express mail today so they should be in Cali earliest .. tomorrow... all those who have not remitted payment to Chjief better do so or the mags will be sent back to me.. and needles to say if I have to go through the issue of mailing them to you it will be a 10.00 usd charge or you'll loose your mag... (hopefully the default fee is a deterent) .. so get the payment out by the end of the week Boy's !! Almost ready to ship out !!! the last problem to the mags "was" the UV glue... now any residuals on the back of the mags would probably not be a problem.. if not for the AR being applied so .. it seems logical to need the back of the mag to be clean of "all" paricles no matter how minute.. I used a very volitale highly toxic subsatnce.. so much so that all areas of exposed skin needs to be covered and safety glasses worn.. in fact a small speck got through my bandana on my face ... it felt like a pin puncturing the skin.. So for this reason I will keep from posting what I used... for safety as much as for "misuse" of it.. it will strip paint or epoxy in a second if applied .. so for obvious reasons just know that it did the trick.. here is the finished product.. only other problem is that there is just 29 more to go.. but it should go out to Chief beggining of the week.. The residue after the test run ... after seeing the unslightly residue.. and looking at the mags that were removed.. in certain light the residue is evident.. tried soaking it in acetone.. but it was still there.. so resorted to another solvent.. now there may be a faster simpler way that I don't know about .. but this seemed to have done the trick The specs you see are reflections from the strobe and the larger intrusions is background reflections almost there.. Aloha~Cheers R

I like the "Local Boy" look.. dropped; wide handle bars... 52" solo seat.. hardtail.. cooooool Looks like the panheads and knuckle heads that are the favs of the vintage crowd... thanks for the thread rolli.. cool man.. !!!

My Apologies to UB7.. I had forgotten about the pics he took and sent me of his genuine Skyland.. I will post them for side by - comparisons soon !!

thank you Yannou.. the Skyland does seem to have the dimensions for better balance .. at least this is my take on the timepiece.. although it is thicker than bothe the SOSF or the BB.. it is not top heavy at all.... it would seem to have a lower center of gravity..

Sure... I have more than enough pics of Ziggy's work..take a look at the Blackbird and V-2 Skyland Lume comparison.... The Skyland is pretty good but as you well know Ziggy's SL will outlast any lume ... I think even longer than the genuine PO dial..

I have HK Tans antique or black gator that can go on it.. but I need to get a better quality spring bar tool this week.. the white dial will have the crystal done on Chiefs current run..that is the piece I get the dark brown antique gator for.. Skyland ? what skyland ?...oh that one.. secret project .... "Three can keep a secret if two are dead"....B.F.

that is not maritial advice .. jus advice... .. you want maritial adive talk to your DAD

This will be an all Ziggy-Chief Weekend Well almost.. Wore the Fiddy with the Greg Stevens Strap form Baltic.. which got to Hawaii FAST !!!

Yup !! another piece with the 'finishing Touch' to Ziggy .. Chiefs AR.. Snuck in my Fiddy with the Greg Stevens strap procured form Baltic.. Aloha~Cheers R

Fluke or Fate ??

Nikon.......

This year has more Local athletes from Hawaii than ever before.. Brian Clay is a great "person" .. at the gym he is very humble and friendly.... Politics aside .. I hope this will be an Olympic's that is free from Political contraversy.. USA !!!!!

Ziggy's references are the "laws" in which my A7750's live by .. I can usually tell now the red flagged movements when I first slowly turn the crown in the winding position.. some movements I give 2 or 3 turns and then just put them on... I'm not concerned about them running for 2 day's anymore..as they have enough power as I wear them... works for me.. I've had my V-2 skyland on the winder for a over a week now and it was given only a few turns.. still going strong..

Today would be the day to "Bet the Farm" if your Chinese ..... or believe... The number 8 in the Chinese Culture is the most celebrated number... as other Asian Cultures have 3's .. the Chinese have 8's so Today is the "Day" .. of this numeric anomaly !!! Olympic Organizers choose to kick today's Summer Games off on Aug. 8 ... at 8:08 pm no less~ it is reported that in Cantonese "baat"... sounds like the word "faat" ... the word for prosperity.. like Buddha's stomach.. In Hawaii Downtown Business are all over this number today... small fact that "Downtown" is the original "Chinatown" back in the day of the first merchants in Hawaii that were not Missionaries.. It is reported that even Vegas is preparing for the rush from The Chinese Americans from Cali and beyond... You see 88888888's abound in the dealers sites.. now you know why... I read in the paper this morning while eating at a Chinese Restaurant (for luck) .. that in Cali a couple in Orange County .. had planned their wedding.. their theme was interlocking 8's .. of course 8 or them.. and guests filled their wedding envelopes with $888..... 4 groomsmen and 4 brides maids.. the reception to start at 8:00 So if your going to lay any bets today .. you may want to wait until 8:08 pm .. or go crazy betting anything with 8's ... all you have to do is "believe"

first Thank you All.. I should of used the tripod but I wanted to get the images before the sun sank.. mj .... I still have more of chiefs AR'd crystals to post.. so you best think of something special to get the wife... cause I'm jus warnimg up bud... still got the Slevin... BCE graphite (ziggified) ... SMP .. and in about another month... hehee something from Tiffany's should do nicely..... a "jus because" .... jus because I'm going to max out our CC's
