  1. It's funny that you should ask that actually as I was just thinking about this earlier this evening. I think one of my favorite features is the complete and total lack of any kind of light. No button to turn on the "Indiglo" or the "Illuminator" lights. It actually has lumed hands, lumed indices and the 12, 6 & 9 are lumed as well. Not the best lume by any means, but there is definitely lume there. Not my picture, but this should give you an idea:
  2. Looks like a 0.90 stem on the left and a 1.20 stem on the right. Also I am pretty sure a 2824 stem will also work. Just need the tap 10 (0.90 stem) Does your friend have something to cut down the stem?
  3. Well at least if my brains get eaten and I become one of the walking dead my watch will still tick as long as its exposed to some light periodically.
  4. PVD Coated Titanium..... nice and light!!
  5. I ordered mine on eBay on Wednesday and it just arrived Definitely a tough watch!!!
  6. Something new for me, and very different!! A Casio G-Shock GW-4000D-1A. By far the most interesting G-Shock I have ever seen. When I first saw it I knew I had to have it

    My Dad

    Sorry to hear that but always know that we really are a brotherhood here and this is as safe of a place as any to share these sort of moments. I truly hope that his passing is as peaceful and painless as can be given his circumstances. Knowing that you are there to take care of him, even if he can't voice it, I'm certain means the world to him. All the best and my thoughts are with you and your dad.
  8. I don't know what you think you are contributing with these ridiculous posts but I think it's time they stop. Immediately. This is the one and only warning you will be receiving.
  9. Thanks Pete! You can check out the review I did of the watch here The watch dial is a slate gray and the case is a brushed stainless steel with a sand blasted titanium bezel. Pretty great looking case IMO.
  10. Amazing photos and a superb build!!! That is simply gorgeous!! Well done to all of you. That is one hell of a 1680 build!
  11. Anyone have any suggestions as far as settings for the 1:1 scan? Resolution? Type of scanner? Should I go to a pro scanning shop or just get an off the shelf scanner and scan it myself?
  12. I don't shake.... I swirl. Just like a good brandy
  13. Wow nice score on the bracelet! In this market, that's a pretty darn good price!
  14. Well the never ending build has now been changed to build V2.0 This date wheel is just the first of many new additions.
  15. I found a Jules Jurgensen vintage chrono on eBay last week and for some insane reason I bought it because I liked the look of the date wheel. I only saw one day, the 19th, but something grabbed me about the font of the date wheel. I hit the "Buy Now" button and crossed my fingers...... Well it arrived today and to my surprise I got this:
  16. ????????????? Let's try and keep the thread on topic shall we? There's plenty of other sections for this sort of thing
  17. I was wondering that same exact thing!
  18. That's not a date wheel. It's a 10 minute totalizer. When the chrono starts up, the totalizer starts counting down. The wheel shows the numbers in half increments starting at 10. It goes 10, 9 1/2, 9, 8 /12, etc.... down to zero. When the chrono is reset it goes back to 10. This of course will not be a function that works on my watch as the only way to do it would be to have the gen B36 movement. I will fake it so it will always show 10 like the gen when it's "zeroed"
  19. Wow.... that's some impressive damage!! And even if it got caught up on the hour hand, I cannot believe the main spring is strong enough to drive that much force through the gear train to cause the hand to bend that much. I had a watch that had a hand getting caught up but every time it got caught, the movement just stopped.
