Now that is a beauty! A little on the pricey side though for me

Some nice pieces in that guys site. Thanks!

I had the Tournek Rayville version which was pretty nice. I think it originally came from DSN. Did a review of it here

Great read Pete!!! Nicely done! It's nice to see some light shed on the 218 debate.

Start of the day with the Tudor: End up with the PAM:

Where are you located?

And that is precisely why I like the rep world!

wow! What an exceptionally clean 7031!!!

Wow Pete, that response almost sounded grown up

Nice pics! Isn't the 6th of every month one of the best days ever! Love that open 6 gen date wheel!!!

Superb review! Thank you Angus for taking the time to do such an in-depth comparison. I have pinned this topic

Good call Mike. They make a couple of different loctites. The blue 242 is meant to be able to unscrew if disassembly is needed down the road. The red 271 you would need heat to remove the screw. I'd say 242 is a prime choice for that application.

Yes, exactly. The 359 has a very distinctive CG with the TM REG engraving on it (plus it is quite a bit fatter looking). I understand you not wanting to be out $300 on the coating, but you might find yourself with a 360 & a 359 and it not work. It's a bit of a risk I'd say and in the end, you won't necessarily get what you wanted in the first place. A DLC'd or PVD'd 359 would look pretty nice though

I think I want one of these The MAT Watch AG5 2

Love the jubilee on the GMT!!!! My all time favorite combo

Such a great quote from his 2005 Stanford Commencement Speech:

There is a sign up on wrist check. Go here: http://www.wrist-che...es-%28signup%29

Such a genius and such a visionary. He will be greatly missed.

All the best Cats and hope things look better for you in the next couple of weeks. Keep us up to date and all of our thoughts & prayers and general good vibes will be coming your way from this amazingly supportive community!!

Nicely done. In the one wrist shot, it looks as though the pin is sitting up a couple of millimeters to high. Is that correct, or is it just the picture?

Interesting question. One is an auto movement and the other is manual wind. I would imagine that accounts for the case thickness differences. I don't think anyone here has tried that yet, but the CG would definitely be wrong on the 360 for a 359. Also, the lug positions are definitely different (which wouldn't necessarily matter if you are just using a strap - only matter if you want to use a bracelet at some point).

+1 That is some amazing work. Perhaps J could help you with some method of holding the dial blanks?

Happy Birthday Pete!!! Hope its a good one and have a pint or two for me

I'd recommend you spend some time reading through the Rolex Forum, but currently one of the best offerings is from BK and it is the TW Sub. Check it out here and the new dials he's made here
