lhooq

The Serpico would have been nice for the double-takes, but the NDT is clearly the better replication. If you can spare the extra cash, go with that one. The end justifies the means!

Close, but... You're exactly right! The underground river is a 15-minute boat ride from that spot. Good pair of eyes on you!

Wish I were there, but I've still got the Explorer:

Congratulations, Stefan! I've wanted a'57 Reissue ever since... oh, about 5 seconds after buying my 3570.50. I've been looking at them a lot more often in the past few months, but I'm biding my time... It will look really good on brown leather, too!

Thanks, guys! And, yeah, I think the texture on the dial is what really lets my Sub blend in with all those gens. Big, big thumbs up to C and all the dials he destroyed to get to this result!

You don't need to be wearing a cellophane suit for me to see you're nuts! Faster! Faster!!!

Ugh... The emitted sense of entitlement is overwhelming. Yeah, fight the power, dude...

Reading this thread strangely reminded me of the Taco Bell near Ft Lewis, just off the I-5. That place was a destroyer of stomachs... But where are my manners? Welcome to RWG!

You're a braver man than me, db2. Great job!

I can't get enough of that black sigma and steel bezel, either. What I really like is how this is your grail AND your daily wearer. Excellent!

From my notes (hour/minute/sweep/subdials, in mm): ST19: 1.4/0.95/0.28/0.255 For reference, a 7750 is 2.0/1.2/0.25/0.20 I've no idea what you can use as substitutes.

This 'J' sounds like a real helpful fella! Looks great, but I think I favor the gold dial.

Special K:

I emailed DW a few weeks ago, and he says that "the factory" had finished the plastic bezel, but that the quality was so poor that he couldn't sell it. ["Too poor even for DW?" say the snarky guys.] Ideally, I would like to have a gray-dialed 7031, and a black-dialed 7032. I love contrast.

Nice one, red! I didn't have this PDF!

I'm willing to chip in for scans of Mazzariol's "Daytona: A Legend Is Born", though!

Gorilladame's way ahead of you. EDIT: Unfortunately, the big download is no longer available.

Thanks! There's a Cal.11 Chronomatic in there. It's not a pretty movement, but it's a moot point since the caseback is so damn tight.

Love the lugs on that Hamilton, txrob. Carrera Tuesday:

Also, you forgot to thank Hike for the pictures.

Too cool, J! And thumbs-up to mcotter for his help!

I could've sworn I already commented on this... It's beautiful, B! Impeccable build, and I'm still jonesing for a black plastic bezel.

I smoke those fools in my Cadillac Allanté!

Well, doesn't that make my yesterday! Thanks, Nanuq! Next year, properly warned will thee be, says I...
