redwatch

Teaser posts do come up from time to time, but they are definitely rare. It would be awesome to have a "Rep Rumors" posting, but only if the dealers would be willing to contribute to it as they would be the only ones with any knowledge of what is coming out.

Very cool! Thanks for sharing that!!!

The top one I know. I've handled that piece before. I'd say it's your MBW

UPDATED: September 20th, 2012 Just for fun I thought i'd post up some pics of my current collection. Rolex 168000 Triple Zero This was quite a labor of love! Found this gorgeous spider web dial thanks to Ubi and the rest slowly came together over several months and months of searching. What was originally going to be a franken ended up becoming a genenstein. All gen parts were used for this build. Case, caseback, dial, hands, movement, datewheel, bezel, insert, crystal and bracelet. This was a lot of love and definitely one of my current favorites! Rolex Datejust This is one I had a while ago, and then sold it. Now it's back in my collection again. Simple, elegant and a timeless classic. This one is all gen except for the movement & hands. Stilty built this one using a really nice and smooth Gucci ETA 2892 movement. Tudor 9411 A lot of you know this watch already and it is, by far, my favorite. It gets most of my wrist time as it is just so damn comfortable. The gen folded link 9135 bracelet is so soft and flexible (not to mention it weighs next to nothing!) Of course, the Zigmesiter vintage tritium lume is outstanding!!! DW Tudor 7032 This is a very recent build in which the Zigmeister was invaluable in helping me get this one going. Of course it has a gen Valjoux 7734 that was recently assembled and serviced by the master himself. In addition, Ziggy re-lumed the dial with a nice vintage tritium mix and as always it looks just perfect. Also installed is a gen 703 crown & tube. The 7836 bracelet with 380 endlinks was from Mary at Watch International. I aged the case using JMB's famous case aging trick by shaking it in a jar filled with lathe waste (a combination of aluminum, brass, & steel shavings as well as some nuts, bolts & screws). I also aged the crystal by putting some protective plastic on the underside of the crystal and giving it a good shake in the metal shavings jar. The two Tudors: Seiko SKX007/SOXA Sea-Rambler Another very unique piece. This started off as a Seiko SKX007 with a 7s26 movement in it. I bought this off of Ronin and he converted this to a Searambler homage using parts from Noah Fuller (who was a genius with after market seiko parts who sadly died after a long battle with lung cancer). This one has an AR Sapphire Crystal, Yobokies SOXA insert, Yobokies Anvil Bracelet and Doxa Hands (from Yobokies) And also on rubber Vintage Bulova Quartz This belonged to my grandfather and was handed down to me when he passed away 13 years ago. I never understood why I got this piece instead of some of the others but my grandmother then told me that she and I went to the Hudson Bay company when I was very little to buy this for him for Christmas. Apparently I sat on his lap while he opened this watch and it was one that he wore the most. I really do not like gold watches, and the stretchy bracelet just didn't work for me. I kept it put away and never wore it. One day I decided to restore it and make it something that I could wear and then pass on to my kids. I took off the bracelet, uncased the movement and had the case rhodium plated. Offshore helped me out with a new crystal, silver hands & a new polished SS crown. I then had HK Tan make me a beautiful croc strap for it and I added a polished SS deployant buckle. Here is what the watch looked like originally: And here it is today: Now updated with new Ziggy lumed hands & dial dots. Used the vintage tritium mix to match the age of the watch I wore this in honor of my grandfather on my wedding day: Panerai 5218-205a Slytech Pre-Vendome Another custom special. This one took a while to get all the bits together. Of course, it has the infamous w0lf modified 111 case. Also has a V-CG modified by the Zigmeister. Jakob custom case back, FGD Pre-V hands and the dial is a FGD ziggy lumed. Thanks for looking everyone

Offshore has a great crystal press kit and a vast assortment of dies for it. I have the whole set and I have yet to need the correct size. It's a great kit and very affordable. Looks just like the horotec

Nope, but good to see you around again Oncyte!

The royal "WE" voted in a republican majority, so I guess the royal "WE" isn't interested in our government doing anything at all for the american people except banter over why we shouldn't implement a $447 Billion jobs bill. (and yes, I know that it was the democrats that caused this but it just shows how ineffective the current governing body is - both the republicans & democrats) I think i'll just move back to Canada where it makes a lot more sense (and enjoy the lovely health care while I'm there)

gave it a much deserved little bump

You, good sir, have $950.00 in forum cash right now

Dude you have $950.00 forum cash!!!

Very nice! I have moved this into the Rolex forum for you.

That's it? 18 posts from 6 members?

Info will be coming soon on that For now, just enjoy watching the forum dollar amounts change and go up. Just a little info though.... I believe forum cash is based on contributions to the forum in the way of posts and threads, etc.... Haven't been filled in on all the details yet as to how it works, but I was told that info is coming soon. Sorry to be so vague, but that's all I know at the moment

Ahhh....politics and sex. The two do go hand in hand quite nicely, don't they

Show me one american citizen (at least here in Los Angeles County) that will take the job of gardener, maid, valet, or janitor. There are a ton of illegal's here in LA that do those very jobs, and we all sit back and happily pay them for their services. Why? Because they are happy to do it. Unbelievable happy. They are so gracious and thankful for the job and their work shows it. I have yet to see anyone take pride in their work like the guy who does the gardening at my house (my landloard pays him - I would never hire a gardener to cut my grass). If the job doesn't pay at least $40k a year, no one wants it (again, at least not here in Southern California). Of course, if they were legal, and had to pay taxes or form a company in order to continue doing that job, they probably wouldn't do it for the amount of money that they get now and then no one would hire them. And don't even get me started on the "adult entertainment" business. There is a massive group of people who don't claim an income, or lie about the amount that they make every year. Or the "escort" business for that matter.

Ok, first of all, I am a Canadian, so American politics are a little above my head. That being said, I have lived in Los Angeles for the past 15 years and this is the one thing that I have learned about the politics here. Bottom line: it is reserved for the most petty, selfish, self-righteous group of people i have ever encountered. Instead of working together to fix a problem, each side works to shoot down the other sides ideas and suggestions. I feel really bad for Obama. He came into office with a HUGE mess on his hands and now, 3 years later, things aren't fixed yet and it's so convenient for the Republicans to blame him directly for his inability to push anything forward when it is, in fact, the Republican party who is stalling on everything. All for the sake of what is best for them and their rich friends. As for Blue-Sphere's comment about the job situation, I have a couple of friends who lost their jobs a while back. I don't know anyone who has worked harder to find work than them. It's unfortunate that they are in a specialized field, but that is not their fault. If it weren't for the unemployment extensions, they would have nothing and their families would be out in the street. As it is they are barely making ends meet. I don't think they are sitting back, reveling in the luxuries that Obama affords them on their measly unemployment checks. Far as I am concerned, taxes should be raised, and tax cuts for large corporations should be re-evaluated. For that matter do two things: 1. Grant all illegal immigrants amnesty - make them citizens and tax them. That's about 10 million folk (probably just in California alone) that would happily pay taxes just to be legal. 2. Make marijuana legal and tax it. Just my thoughts

Post moved to correct thread Joey

The debate has been moved here

Quoted some of these from another thread. Enjoy folks!

Very, very nice!!! How hard is it to re-wind the main spring?

Also have a 2 watch winder from Brookstone (which is fantastic!) and I only have my two gens on it. As for clockwise/counter-clockwise/or bi-directional, it is really dependent on the movement it self. Orbita has some good info on which watch types need a certain number of turns per day and direction settings. I have a seiko that was custom made into a Doxa sea-rambler look alike and that one stopped when on the winder going in both directions. Turns out the seiko needs fewer turns per day and can only be wound on the winder in a clockwise direction.

Vastly improved in my opinion! Nice

Sent you a PM.

Just get one of these The iPhone SLR Mount Kit
