  1. Vaccum is a trusted modder on this Forum and is in Florida. I'm sure he can do any mod you want. He has his own area here .. go there and get his contact info. http://www.rwgforum.com/forum/221-vacs-modification-shop/
  2. Since you already are a Zig customer, you can have him lume the dive bezel for you. He does that.
  3. The Nautilus comes in a bronze/brown face ...
  4. The closest Forum trusted watchsmith for 775x movements, to you, is in Texas. He's on this forum but as a normal member. On the RWI forum he's a trusted watch maker.
  5. The genuine crown and tubes are readily available from Omega for a very cheap price. The dial and hands are available as well .. so consider it, when you are deciding on re-lume or simply going Gen.
  6. Your problem is that you went to the movies! That means you were sitting perfectly still for 2+ hours .. the watch did not get wound at all. An ETA movement watch needs about 800 rotations of it's rotor **per day** to remain fully wound. That is easily accomplished by a semi-active person while swinging their arms as they walk. If you sit still all day ... your watch will never wind itself. If you wind it by the crown, consider 1 full turn to equal an hour of run time .. up to approximately 40 hours.
  7. Since Cape Cod is a polishing cloth, if you use it on a brushed finish, it will polish away that brushed finish ... use it for polished surfaces only unless you intend to remove the brushed finish.
  8. Thanks! I'll PM my address Seriously, tho .. nice piece. I would have liked mine to be just a **little** less aged at the insert but I still love it.
  9. For that price, there is no way Josh would sell you a Asia ETA clone. $120 gets you an A21j from that web store.

    Dear IRS...

    Printing new money directly drives inflation higher. For every dollar you print, you reduce the value of all dollars currently existing. The government can print money to pay debts, certainly, but it causes big problems.
  11. Nice! You did just the right amount of aging.
  12. Specs? And yeah ... why show a modder's address? I agree that you were right to change the insert... the previous owner went too far.
  13. Well I see your problem now. Whoever wrote the description was having a seizure at the time, and typed "Asia ETA 2813" ... LOL ... that's just nonsense. I dont blame you for being confused. That description means nothing. It's like saying that a drink is Coke Pepsi, or that your car is a Fiat Hyundai. Also, if you are buying Noobfactory watches then go to Times Shop on RWI. They charge half what the dealers here do.
  14. Read this old thread .. it's short .. no one knows much about beginmariners anymore, since no one buys them.
  15. NYC (Kennedy? LGA??) normally passes my packages in minutes. 5 days from China to my mailbox. Hurricane? Yes, probably.
  16. Oh I see! I did not know she had unavailable watches posted to her pages.
  17. Everyone starts somewhere. Encourage experimentation, and sometimes you inspire genius.
  18. I did that photo a couple of years ago with the title "If James Bond never left Rolex" .. that's his P99 there, and I'm sure I saw a SIG somewhere in Quantum of Solace .. and of course it's all draped across a suit
  19. A quick search of the Omega forum will show you that people suggest aftermarket bezel inserts off of eBay ... I bet it is not that expensive.
  20. All replica watches suffer from bad quality control. We can not tell you if your watch is waterproof .. no one can!! What if the assembly guy at the factory forgot to put in your rubber O rings?? No one knows.. you have to check for yourself. That is the only way to tell.
  21. Joyously, as the Sun flies thru the heavens; hasten now, brothers, like a warrior in victory.
  22. Mrs King has a load of different Fish over at kingshowbox ... eta all the way down to 2813 ... and lots of dial colors.
