best thing is to use epoxy glue, stay away from loctite its made fro threads, and super glue is not strong enough.

a 2 part epoxy glue is the strongest bond

what a beautiful dial

really is the best looking hublot i have seen

i love the look of it, i was looking at the white face dial in ss, very nice looking models.

only flaw i found was the subdial spacing a bit off from gen

He was a top bloke, always so polite with every dealing I had with him, rest in peace Alan.

Thanks SSTEEL will do mate

The problem Im having with springbars is the fact that they are rusting on me! I have a sinn U2 that gets a regular swim, and when I want to change a strap the bastards are rusted in!

Are there good quality springbars that can tolerate water better?

its ugly and idiotic and I plan to laugh at anyone wearing one, starting with one of my apple cultist friends

oh, I didnt realise the ceramic was actually even bigger! I mean the 5004 is big enough, any bigger and your getting into uboat territory

my 5004 on croc strap, and i have a 7.5 inch wrist

ceramic is matte black, the lume is corect, should only be on 12 6 9 and 3

the 5004 is also a great rep, I have one myself and very happy with it. They are both pretty well regarded, its just a matter of taste if you want something a little more dressy with the SS or more military/tough with the ceramic.

just read, has a faux min counter @ 3. no doubt to avoid sunken date wheel.

something about losing a function like that doesnt sit right with me

Hi Guys, looks like we got a new set of Navitmers and Bentley GT's

http://www.trusty-watch.com/index.php?main_page=products_new

Would like to know what the navi experts say about this latest release.

There is no mention of movements at all (simply that its automatic), I will be interested in the reviews when you receive the watches. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say they are probably 21J's with mineral crystals.

If they are sapphire and a clone movement you guys will really be onto a winner! But we wont find out for at least another month if my experience of aliexpress postage tells me anything.

a lot of his pics are gen, so got only knows what your gonna get. Id stick to simpler models

Yeah get a rep, probably a rolex deepsea, nice and heavy.

Heavy is good, heavy is reliable

3789 is what I went for, even though I would like the larer size of the 3799, the faux split chrono was the deal breaker in the end. Both are great looking watches

Kingfrog doesnt know what hes talking about..

Anyway, back on topic, the super avenger in question is actually very accurate, I had one (ended up selling, kid regret it) at this price its a bargain

cross post from rwi, Just saw this on Honts site, and a few other dealers, has gen swiss quartz movement. Now I have wanted this to be repped for a while, a nice breitling chrono without the fear of an a7750 shitting itself inside it, but man they ****** it up colossally..

That Bezel is completely wrong! apart from the pearl which stands out like dogs balls, there should be no numbers on the bezel apart from the 15, 30 and 45 like the super avenger bezel. They are asking 338 bucks for this thing, you gotta get the bezel right atleast, sunken date wheels I can put up with.. Wish I could contact the maker~~

they clone movements that have expired patents so they can do so legally as far as Im aware

I was there about 4 months ago mate, did a lot of investigating went to many back rooms and seriously do not waste your time, nothing but absolute garbage, just enjoy your holiday.

Bags are so so , not top grade but somewhat acceptable, Mrs got a few, bargain aggressively their first price will be [censored], pay a quarter to a third of what they ask!

Go to the main road that parallel with the beach, walk up bangla road away from the beach, at the entry of Bangla road turn right (going south) youll walk past the entry to the massive shopping centre to your left, keep walking till the road bends, around there if you see any shop with bags, go in. Ask if they have anymore more stock and you will get the walk into a nice air conditioned room full of all sorts of bags and wallets.

awesome stuff guys! thanks so much, great to have a good Aussie network happening in the hobby!

Ok I can report back, this watch repair which I found in Melbourne was able to fix my DSSD which had stopped running. The winding is now very smooth and watch runs perfectly. The only gripe is she is quite slow in her work, maybe lots of banked up jobs. Expect in excess on one month for repair job.

Hi mate, Im in melb and have a watch thats in dire need of service, do you know if she does chronographs?

Cheers

Is the 7750 version of this thing ever going to be released or what? been forever since they announced it!

Its exactly what other manufactureres make but with apple log on it. will fail for the same reason others are. Who wants a watch you have to have a matching phone to use, and that you have to charge every night, that tells you what your phone does, and you look like a douchbag wearing it.

more importantly does that counter at 12 really count 60 minutes?
