Welcome EF, to the best "Watch" forum on the net. lots of exciting reps available for your photo's AC Lani

Geeeez.. that crown looks like a bolt sticking so far out on the rep.. gotta find a flatter crown even if it's gotta be generic AC/L

The 300T Divestar has landed in Hawaii.. pick up tomorrow morning,, AC/L

the tech review is your baby Ubi.. your the best qualified to do that .. I'm sure you can capture the dial texture better than I.. Look forward to reading your review. shoot,.. I'm wondering if I have another IWC crown that is shorter..

the PVD I have costumed on my 202A, is freakishly the same colour and properties of the genuine PVD'd 202A .. you would have to check with Ziggy on the price as I don't like to speak for anyone providing services .. this is Ziggy's PVD service that provided the finished product..so you would have to ask directly. AC/Lani

Received the Mark XVI today.. stuck it on a HK gator antique chestnut. the most glaring issue is the crown.. especially when you know it's too long.. the Arabic numerals and markers are a bit thin.. but I'll leave the tech reviews to the more knowledgeable members here are some pics for you ~ They didn't use the stick on tabs for this dial.. Long in the tooth Thanks for viewing AC Lani

thank you.. with the post cut backs and Thursday a Holiday.. it'll be slow going.. but the date window is much, much improved.. looking forward to seeing if any other upgrades were done.

One is on it's way to Hawaii for a full review and macro pictorial.. the dial is much improved.. I have macro's of the dial in this section. Thursday is Thanksgiving so I would assume first thing next week.. AC/Lani

I chose the PVD based on the colour and texture of the genuine, specifically for the Pre V.. the case can be re-polished first off.. any jeweler can do it.. or you can get a buffer from Home depot for a very low price.. but my case does not have a bead blasted look per-say..whatever it is,.... it really looks like the gen. and that is what the experts here say.. Good luck whatever you do !! AC/L

that blue is also a good match A. .. I really would like to get it to the silverfish gray though .. but this also looks really good.. wonder how it would do in a bowl of sea salt in the sun??.. good thing you guy's are here to share these concoctions with.. I dont think anyone else would really appreciate it..

116400 GV Green Sapphire Milgauss and ... 300NT

looks great.. hard to tell if the bead blastin is to harsh.. it can be fixed I'm sure Armin.. use whatever service you want .. I'm upset for the tactics not the person.. and I'm definitely not saying to use one over the other. AC/L

As you can see by my go to Avitt for DLC.. it's nothing personal what I say on this thread avitt, did I say to go to someone else for PVD ?? NO.. I have always referred members to you for DLC and PVD.. I cannot remember telling members to shop elsewhere??..do you pay any fees for your service like everyone else does ?? you do make a profit no ?? how is that right for everyone else providing services for "profit" here...be it watches or anything else.. after all that's what your doing ??? it is for profit that you this.. right ?? or am I imagining this is a side business for you.. imagining a lot huh ?? .. have you ever offered from your side to get on board with the others that are providing services, they make a profit and pay a dealers fee.. do you ?? .. if you are doing this for the board and members .. it seems to me that you would offer this from your end.. I cannot "imagine" why you wouldn't..

Avitt ..may I inquire ?? as far as ethically.. to advertise on a pictorial your "services" .. as a member who lists his "services" on the forum, without having to be treated as an accessories dealer.. as well as what you do on others.. did you ever consider it may be "proper" to become a accessories dealer here and make a profit like everyone else ? by having your own store.. so to speak.. you are doing business with members and I'll tell it straight since you decided to advertise here.. L you could of handled this sales pitch of yours with a little more finesse .. or am I imagining things ??

This is a Yuki's insert.. it's been slow cooking for about 2 weeks now, it's coming along.. still a little more black to be removed.. I think I need to bet past all the paint to get the metallic look.. this Yuki's is more stubborn than wholesaleoutlet insert.. that one is a breeze..cheaper made I guess.. Actuall PreV.. if it was just a bit less it would be perfect.. ok.. thanks for that.. now I know it has to go past the light grey and get just before all the paint is dissolves.. with a hint of paint left it should be perfect.. so after the grey.. really dillute the solution so maybe another 2 to 3 weeks worth of immersion .. I'll take this past grey and see where it leads

your kidding me.. that is the metallic effect that I'm looking for.. that looks like the genuine on my friends 1665 and 1680 ... that is sweet A .. I ordered some vintage bezels from Clarks.. a new item on his site.. looks good and for 12 or 13 usd not bad.. wholesale outlet is 35 usd and I think clark looks better..with the acrylic pearl too.. but let me know if you need help ordering WSO or clark.. I can ship them to you from Hawaii.. lemme see how this last one is coming along .. I'll fish it outta the solution and take a pic.. psot in a bit.. AC/R

Congrats big time Thogaa !!!! she looks great on your wrist.. very nice.. so...... what's next ??? Live Strong and Wear it Well AC/L

. . I think I'll stay with the specs of the genuine thanks.. . . let the other fora's copy ours.. AC/L

The Hunt jus makes the finished project much more appreciated.. been there Good luck armin .. I hope you secure the case set !!!! AC/L

This last pic looks good armin.. grab it ..as far as Ti.. couple of years ago I had Ti pvd.. I would not advise it.. it took multiple attempts and countless CG's..and the look is different.. AC/L

I'll be sending.. "Priority".. after you've ordered the insert etc.. pm me your addy .. that's all AC L

Wow,.. more backdoor shtuff.. most don't realize what it takes .. fast cash.. fastest way to be shown da door.. too many members liable to loose money with the backdoor BS thanks Admin Team.. probably saved a Noob from heartache.. AC L
