I always wonder out loud to myself this same thought.. what if I check out tomorrow.. what would happen to my collection.. well I figure I would leave an email with my brother or another family member and have en contact Ubi.. or Kruzer.. so some of my watches can find a good home.. that would make me happy to know they were going to RWG'rs.. but as far as an inventory.,. nah.. to lazy..

At one time it was one of the faves here.. and still is a good one to have in any collection.. imo. classy looking piece.. All your woes can be fixed.. misaligned bezel can be straightened crooked markers too relume sometimes replacing the dw with the eta will take care of the problem.. or the ultimate swap an eta 7750

Again .. great thread r.. but I goota go with Ubi.. my watches are posted all ova da place.. and it would be hard for me to nail down 5 of my top fave.. since my taste change from week to week and month to month.. But I'm enjoying viewing all the pics here..

Cheapest way.. a pen eraser.. going evenly in one way strokes.. the best way.. a fiberglass tip pen.. although the pen eraser works really well for light scratches I used the fiberglass pen to refinish this vintage case Available on Watch Bitz here.. or Cousins if your in the EU

I like the positioning of the crown and the chrono pusher.. so cool..

There is only one with the trademark "dead skin" on the case back.. and it ain't Ubi..

For those of you that are newer to the forum.. Bazz is one of the most accomplished Photogs here.. and I believe was the first to do a splashing water shot on a watch.. may not have invented it.. but it was what everyone else aspired to..

Thank you for the kind words Dove .. it is the basis for this forum and what we do here as a community.. INFO.. so all the newcomers will be better prepared to make good decisions.. and then you have the next level of knowledge with the likes of Ubi, tribal, freddy, Jojo.. and of course Ziggy and his tutorials and movement reviews.. I really believe we are best suited for pure tech knowledge.. and everything else is icing on the cake of this great community Now I'm looking forward to your pics and reviews.. passing it along to the next member that is coming on board..

You can "replace" a Clarks 295c and AR your existing crystal if you really want to keep the coronet etched symbol on your GMTCII.. regardless.. remove the mag.. send it into chief for AR.. it will be double AR glue the mag back on the proper side. (I like using the UV glue , it gives you ample time to play with the adjustment, and the UV from the sun,, even through clouds is enough .. it will bond before you expose it to UV btw... you have a bout a 2 minute window from the time you start applying the glue to the mag or crystal.. which ever you decide to place the glue) Don't worry if you screw up on the alignment.. simply remove the mag with heat ans start over.. the heat will not damage Chiefs AR. after the mag is bonded get some acetone and clean the top of the crystal, using a sharp implement to scrap off the glue from around the mag the acetone will have softened it considerably..then get your dremel and start removing the AR from the top of the crystal.. you will need a dremel and green or white rouge, chiefs AR is very tough.. plain solvents will not suffice. Then do the underside.. careful around the underside of the mag taking off enough AR just beyond the "line" of the mag... you can tape it if you so choose.. I did it free hand as long as you go slow with patience it should be fine.. tape it if you don't feel confident in doing it .. I would tape one "line" at a time.. just "inside" the mag a fraction of a mm. After your done, wash the crystal with warm water and dish soap to remove all the oils from the rouge.. IMO this is the kind of mods that make this hobby enjoyable..I had not burning desire to wear my GMTIIC.. but after completing this project.. it really makes all the difference.. in my mind anyway..

Should be very soon actually very unique piece Standing by

Let me measure the WSO 295c.. it may be the same height as the new version.. I'll try and get the measurement up later today Clarks is the same as the older GMCIIC version.

Great you held on to it .. I can't see selling my first rep. .. or my last.. looking forward to seeing it r

Plus one for Kruzer.. the most low key member with the ultimate frankens..

FYI this is the COH version.. correct hand stack with eta movement.. thank you tribal.. I cannot keep it off my wrist and am having fun viewing the dial in extreme sunlight.. that's where it's most noticeable.. I think I'll give another one a shot.. had fun with this project ..

Your collection goes back a way's rtk !!!.. great source for the history of the rep world

Great and fun idea R.. I'd like to see Jojo' top (however many) picks heck I'd like to see everyone's top 5

Looks like you have some Xlarge wrists.. you can loosen it by adjusting the ratcheting part of the clasp.. that may help or you may need an extra link or 2. it does droop a little though..
