Interesting news clip TT, however, it only address incivility and inappropriate outbursts. I am all for expressing yourself, but the complete and utter lack of simple manners is unacceptable. Please & Thank You are words that will soon disappear from Webster's Dictionary at the rate people have stopped using them.

I don't know how many of you have seen the movie Idiocracy but life sure does seem to be heading down that road.

A guide to "bling bling" watches by jfreeman (The King of Bling)

To add to Toad's comment, not only an A7753 tear down, but a side by side with both a Gen 7753 and A7750 That would be very nice to see.

That was fast

Well given the vast number of members that joined RWG in search of a decent Navi I would hazard a guess that if they put forth just a little bit of effort, they will sell A LOT of them.

I think your pictures are quite excellent actually! And I love that Daytona. My favorite one by far. I got an opportunity to try on the gen at the Rolex store at the Wynn Las Vegas and it is a beautiful watch!

Phew.....glad to hear that it's been worked out J. After all of these scam posts cropping up lately, it's nice to hear that one transaction has been worked out with the most simple of methods - basic communication!

Just re-visiting this thread. I went to a take-out restaurant tonight to pick up food for myself and my girlfriend. Once my order was ready, I carefully loaded up my food and drinks by stuffing the drinks under my arms, and grabbed my food bag and my keys and proceeded to head out. While walking out the door, I noticed a couple of ladies coming into the restaurant. I opened the door, and held it open for them (in spite of the awkwardness of being burdened with the food & drinks). They walked past - not even giving me a casual glance or nod or thank you. As if that wasn't bad enough, there was a group of teenagers coming out who just pushed past the incoming ladies, past me and straight out, while I'm standing there like an idiot holding the door open for them all. I was in absolute shock at this point - and visibly shaking my head in disgust. I head out to my car and who should be parked next to my car - the obnoxious teenagers. They were parked so close I had to squeeze into my car. They noticed how difficult it was for me to get into my car, so the one girl hopped in the car, backed it out and proceeded to block my exit so that her friends could load into the car. What the heck is wrong with people these days? I'm only 36, and I already feel like my grandfather, shaking my head wondering what's with these damn young people???

Jesus Pete....that's a hell of a thing to build just when you're "bored"! That dial is just beautiful!!! Very stunning job on that one!

Good info TX. I never thought of that. I have never reversed a transaction, nor sent money when I didn't have the funds, so I've never seen anything like that before.

Have you contacted Paypal via phone? They are usually very, very good on the phone (at least they have been for me). It's the only company that picks up the phone after a couple of rings - with a real person on the line (and they are not in India)

Wow this is rather disturbing that Paypal would initiate a payment reversal that quickly without any attempt to verify any details about the transaction at all. Something is very, very off here. I am quite keen to hear more about this at it develops. I hope you can freeze the shipment J.

You know I never thought about the spend vs. posting ratio before. Scary thought

+1,000,000!!!! I definitely want to be on some sort of list to buy a case!!! Dial and movement - no problem. Case with decent slide rule that accepts gen parts, not so easy.

These are pretty nice to use as a pin pusher. A Suisetek Pin Pusher tool from Boston Watch Exchange:

What about using a 2892 with a Dubois Depraz chrono module? Which Navi's had that movement (if any?)

Don't lose faith there R! Just because you haven't found a way doesn't mean there isn't one I'm sure someone will come up with some crazy cool idea to get a bracelet on that Paris RO for you

And those little bastard squirrels have their spies everywhere!

Interesting point LoS! Never even thought of that. Nice to see you around again too!

Question for you Andrew. What is the difference in the case? Isn't it the same 7750 movement? Or is it because the tri-compax rep case needs to be thicker to accommodate the modded 7750?

Fascinating hypothesis Freddy. The only difference in your comparison of the tulip market vs. the vintage Rolex market is that tulips can be grown. A vintage Rolex, car, antique furniture, etc has a finite number to it. Only XX number of each was ever made. That's it. No more. No less. As they break, get lost, wear out, or get disposed of in favor of a newer, more accurate model, that number of pieces available to the market will go down, there by increasing their value just on the sheer speculation that there are only so many available. Same thing happened in the 70's with Tube Audio equipment. Solid State gear was introduced and hyped to have better signal to noise ratios, dynamic range and frequency response so everyone dumped their vintage tube microphones, mic pre-amps, limiters and equalizers in favor of there better sounding siblings. To many engineers dismay, it was soon discovered that the new solid state equipment didn't have the color and sound quality of the tube equipment. Many years later, we have tube equipment selling for 1000% more than what it was worth. I worked at a studio that had a very coveted Fairchild 670 stereo limiter that the owner wisely bought in the 70's during the "Great Tube Equipment Garage Sale". He probably paid around $900 for it. Now they are selling for more than $35,000.00.
