Not here to create more controversy... both my parents suffer from eye problems.... my Mom has recently gone partially blind.. so i can (by experience) empathize with the loss of someones eyesight as it is a MF'er to deal with .. surgery was performed and Mom had to lay on her stomach for 3 months continuously so gravity could help the healing.. so when i take my parents out i have to read her the menu ... etc. and have her hold my arm when I take her shopping.. because insensitive bastards don't care about someone who cannot see like the rest of the population... and the first person who once bumped into her and never said "excuse me" got my hand wrapped around his throat.. literally So this is not about Neil's personality.. (as i would rather get into a donnybrook with anyone else.. rather than a verbal crossing of swords with Neil) but rather about the plain fact that something like this is not only physically debilitating but psycologiclly stressful to say the least... but it's good to see that you still have the good ol Scotts fight in you Sir... @ Hike...... I saw your signature this morning and was kinda shocked as TTK as we know him has been around for a very long time and although we have had differences.. I do not believe him to have the character to rob members.. I can empathize with your frustration... get to the gym man .. blow off some steam.. believe me you will find the weights to be a lot lighter today, some of the best training sessions come at times like this.....and tomorrow I'm sure things will have a different perspective Take care of you Niel... I sincerely hope and pray (don't worry God takes cares of fools like us) .. that you recover quickly.. not that it's a pleasing sight for you to see yourself in the mirror every morning (sheesh first thing too).. but hey.. we can't have everything... Aloha, Lani

Well .. I myself attended the "University of Waikiki" ..the best classes were from 12 am to 4 am at last call ... that's when it turned into "Hotel Motel" time and the "flowers of night" turned into the "Weeds of Morning",... and coyote dates were normal......I'm assuming everyone knows what a "coyote date" is ? I did finally get my degree in Human Anatomy.. specialized in the female gender .. I then went on to obtain my Masters Degree in the many Labs around town... some call them "Strip Clubs" .. this name is for the less "sophisticated" ....and more perverse of our culture It took many hours at the "meat rack" to study for my finals .. endless hours of toil .. but in the end it was all worth it .. you know, your degree weather you ever use it or not is something no one can ever take away from you... and I still have trouble screwing hex nuts.. "not that there's anything wrong with that.." ......

My Ultimate 127 from Eddie Lee also exploded.. pieces of it landed in my coffee cup .. emailed EL and was told.. well let's just say that is around the time I stopped buying reps from him.. sent it to DSN and never had a problem with the crystal since.. over a year now,.

"Necessity is the Mother of all Invention" No doubt our mantra at times..

Same here but if what you want is a "locked lever" then some shims in the arms will do it.. it was too tight for me that way as the lever rest on part of the forearm.. rather have a small bit of play in it.. I used a piece of a cotton shirt between the pliers too.. imagination counts for a lot in this hobby

Whatever happened to pride of workmanship, messy PAM
lanikai replied to RWG Technical's topic in The Panerai Area
someone asked me once if their are any watchsmiths in Hawaii.. there are many.. I send my timpieces to Ziggy.. nuff said.. -
Correct DL .. sorry guy's long day and I got the pics mixed up a little but DL is spot on .. the thicker CG is the one on Joshua's site.. again the same as DL's pic but oxidized after I recieved it.. I believe this has also been relumed by Ziggy
-
I have 2 036 IMO this is the better of the 2 because of the thicker CG.. this one fits better also.. and it does have the thicker crown Sorry got the pics mixed up... this is the one that DL has also

For My Friend, Teammate .. A.I.

waiting to ride my harley on the Big Island again.. this is not a rep to wear to dinner.. or an evening out..

First the cyclops is from chieftang.. and he is doing some that are going to be AR'd.. can't remeber if this is a sanwhich crystal.. anyway you need to contact chieftang for cyclops.. or lello if he is doing it also.. The underside of the CG needs to be milled or in my case I file it .. and then use sandpaper and a wooden stick that is shaped like the case .. what you want to achieve is to get the CG to sit in a better position on the case ergo allowing the ends to sit more flush.. what you are doing is form fitting the CG to the case it takes time and patience.. no over abundance of talent what you want is this area of the CG to be as flush as possible with the case.. so you will shape the high areas of the underside of the CG to accomplish this..

check with tootall ... he will no doubt be able to build a strap .. i got my ammo strap and the morrocan sunset from him for my PAMS, .. i just put a Mario paci on my Oversized CF for now..

When I go into the ocean.. i have on my Invicta divers.. why would you want to wear a rep into the ocean or pool or even shower ? what practical purpose does it serve ? If I'm diving why should i want to risk a divers watch that could malfunction ? After all is said and done, even reinforcing the gaskets with silicone or whatever.. it is still a replicated watch... period ? to my knowledge no company even genuine brands claim their timepieces to be water"proof" .. water resistant yes,... but I have never read or heard a claim for 100 % guaranteed water proof... I stand corrected if I am in error but ...my only question is ...WHY risk safety or the safety of the rep (whichever comes first)... by immersing it even in the shower... there are other ways to keep it clean..
-
CONGRATS Rxus.... I know you are probably aware of this.. but better safe than sorry.. when setting the day-date make sure the hands are at the proper 5:30 (am or pm) .. otherwise you could cause permanant damage to the DW ... as i say i probably don't have to say this to you but just FYI.. Live Strong and Wear it Well

White to Black Chopard weather is tropical ... Time for divers to come out.. Black to cronsells White Montblanc Sport SMP Chrono
-
You'll probably want to get one "built" by one several strap makers... better price than a custom built by say.. Mario Paci and the quality is just as good..
-
Yes I got the buckles for the two gators i have for the speedmaster/date .... the genuine deployment for the UPO is over 200 usd from Ofrei.. yikes HKT made me a UPO black buffalo with orange stiching.. i have to scan or send him the rep deployment for him to make the deployment strap but his UPO strap is awesome..
