Shock and Awe is all I can say for my 202A that left Hawaii "Raw" and returned a work of Art.. The PVD colour, and the texture of the bed blasting is surreal..the fit of the CG "masterfully" done.. The dial lume is SOP Ziggy but still I'm always in awe of Ziggy' work ! The members involved in supporting this piece: Ubi.. thank you ma Brotha..your support is beyond words !! Fishgodeep ~ amazing dial and such joy to do business with a Gent like yourself !! Kruzer ~ I finally used the OEM PVD crown,.. !! And without Question, R&J .. you 2 are the best !! 3 years without a proper PVD Pam.. made this all the more sweet.. hope you enjoy the pics.. after taking these I put on a V strap, that I never wore.. I could fit a PVD buckle from DSN on it, so I'll take more pics later.. and I'm sending V my PVD'd Panerai logo buckle for his sweet Pav strap that he is making for this piece.. Go here for Light absorption pics > 202A pvd absorption 202A Genuine 202A The lume is not only coloured vintage but the texture is incredible Thanks for viewing AC Lani

heheee.. that's Hikes forte... but yeah there are some babes that would look good with thongs and a watch..

go here M >> Clark Watch Parts @kbh.. I don't use glue for any of the inserts.. they should snap right in. AC Lani

M.. go to ebay and get a Clarks for 12 usd.. it has the acrylic pearl also.. and is a better fit for the 1665 .. the one that comes with your rep is too con-vexed,.. the Clarks will fit "flatter" like the genuine.. it's about 12 usd.. just got 2 myself for aging.. AC Lani

Very nice kbh.. well done !!! actually I think that is Perfect !!! it give the watch a very cool all around vintage look !!!!.. Great Job !! I have had the insert in a light solution .. diluted with water for a 'slow burn" over a week now,.. and I added some Alae sea salt.. for the alkaline.. I like the look it's a little more "metallic" than my past endeavors... the better quality inserts do better in the process.. you'll see the cheaper inserts won't fair to well...as they are basically just painted over.. I'll post some pics later edit add.. I'm using a Yuki's for this one.. and have some Clark's that I'll start.. Clarks insert is 12 usd compared to Yuki's @30'ish .. AC Lani

what setting do you have your camera on Anuz ??? is it a point and shoot.. if it's on auto focus a lot of time the light bouncing off the watch confuses the camera's auto focus.. do you have a "close up" mode.. or you may have to manual focus if not.. or your too close to the lens..if the lens does not have a macro mode.. lighting is key once you have the focus down.. a lot of members have inexpensive camera's but use photoshop to process their images.. you can "clean up" the image.. unbelievable what you can do.. Pugs has great tutorials on this topic here.. and BT takes some amazing photo's with a simple point and shoot I believe.. some use mobile phones and photoshop and create some amazing images.. ya just need to practice and fool around with the setting on your camera.. knowing your equipment is important.. me.. I haven't even read the users manual on mine.. just a lot of reps and practice... sheesh if I ever took time to read books on photography I'd be dangerous.. the watch hobby got me into the photo hobby.. someday I should look into photographing more than watches.. Hope tha helps somewhat.. but please read the tutorials .. good luck AC Lani

hahhaa... I won ma own bet B.. I figured you'd be the one to mark this shot.. btw.. good idea about the proctorial ~ progressive watch size.. from the bubble back of the 40's .. I'll follow up on that one B AC L

the 600t graph is a 'tool watch' fo sure.. no doubt bout that.. it is definitely mean to be worn whilst in the ocean.. no wonder they started making the bracelet thicker and wider.. it has somewhat fair balance outside of water.. but I don't think it was meant for the dry land as much. AC Lani
-
Yes Zirrrr.. like night and day.. still, I wouldn't trade my 600t graph.. it's still... a Doxa but the 300nt is sooo comfortable on the wrist AC Lani
-
What that tells me is .. opportunists... .. until now the piece was ignored.. no support.. no comment, it appeared like a loosing effort to even buy such a piece,so it was laughed at as .. "got it cheap cause of the missing part".. I'm sure there are some very good "individuals" there as everywhere.. but the total mind set of the fora and others start with it's leadership .. and we have the best .. bar none.. IMHO ... so the mindset is one of total support even though the odds are stacked against the outcome,.. it is SOP here.. be it watches or college exams.. new births.. illness... whateva that for me, is the one singular entity that sets RWG above all the rest.. . . . oh!oh.. here we go again.. (as he goes to the Doxa web site to look at ordering) AC Lani

both sets of hands are genuine Arthur, the dial on my 9411 that Ubi supplied is NOS.. the lume is so nice and flat.. every once in a great while I'll have to take out the dial to dust it from the lume dust that accumulates... seems like it's the bezel again that made all the difference..although this piece wasn't 'do or die" in need of a bezel, the genuine 1680 bezel sure enhances the overall look.. AC L

Think of the 600t graph as a Doxa on roids.. conversely the 300nt.. is so sleek and streamlined it nestles on ones wrist. like laying on sand.... and it molding to your body.. or her body, to be more visual.. here's some pics of the 2 ~
-
how long you been waiting to use that line BS (pun intended) gotta save it for when it is apropos ma man.. We'd get a room but Ubi' happily married and Jess wouldn't go for the gals I'd bring to share the room.. AC Lani

not a very good pic on the sellers end.. must be a generic Asian movement..if he stated anything else I would be very cautious not the best idea.. imo.. to buy anything form someone not known to you and the board.. best way to bet burned is to trust an unknown seller... be it gen. or rep.. just ma .02 AC L

I totally agree with you BT... genuine' shouldn't change someones attitude toward others.. unless they just "need" to feel superior.. dime a dozen I say.. AC Lani
