  1. My insert dropped out for the second time in 18 months, just yesterday. It happens. You get that chime-like ring as it hits the floor. Why not send the watch to BK and have him lume it, service it, and install a new correct-height insert into the bezel.

    Knives :)

    It's nuts that automatic knives are illegal for public sale, but a liner lock knife is almost as quick to open one-handed, and is perfectly legal. I suppose once something is outlawed, it's almost impossible to reverse. Except liquor, I suppose ... but then you must have 99% of the Country shouting about what a stupid law you have made. my liner lock knife. (except mine has the titanium coat blade, not black)
  3. WM9 factory is closed. You have to wait for a used watch to be for sale from a private member. I would look at BK's current offering Submariner, as it is also very good.
  4. WOW Freddy, that could be a still from that excellent movie about the aftermath of the Munich Olympic games tragedy. Was it called "Munich" ?
  5. Could be a simple error on the part of the website admin. They are there, but in the wrong place.
  6. Daily wear for a year and a half .. sometimes it seems like we've seen war together ..
  7. It's like a flying saucer made of delicious candy.
  8. look here. you will need an account at the RWI rep watch forum.
  9. Wow! There is not a single thing wrong with this rep! It's flawless. ** walks to window ** opens window ** listens carefully at open window ** plainly hears paneristi hearts exploding in rage and angry screams from 1000 miles away ** closes window
  10. Yes, 2 recent world-class Panny reps were released. With a *rumored* world-beater 1950 rep on the way as well.
  11. If you charge your watch with UV light (this wavelength band is what excites lume) you don't have to have a powerful white lamp ..
  12. It bears mentioning every several months, for the newer members .. there is an area here for photos of your own watches. Look at the top of the page and see the MY WATCHBOX tab. Click that to see all kinds of great rep photos taken by members ... you'll find a LOT of great, professional class images there. Who knows .. you might find something you love, and have to have. Like this one.
  13. EDIT: see below for new photo
  14. Water resistance is on a case by case basis on **** all rep watches **** ... some fault in yours could ruin it's WR .. there is no QC, remember. Maybe the person who made ONLY your watch forgot to put in the gasket. You see? You always have to check. Do not trust.
  15. BRILLIANT ... The standard 8 Days w/ working power reserve at 6 comes with a blue mineral crystal, and is a 44mm "fiddy style" case YES!! Thanks for the ideas, everyone.
  16. He said that the troubles in Japan are affecting some parts of the world accessing his web host, and to try using a proxy in a different part of the world to access the page.
  17. Gen 127 Fiddy has purple AR .. the destro 217 has neutral grey AR ... so it's perfectly acceptable. Besides, she liked the blue color.
  18. Yes. I believe that Sead, GETAT and Jackson are all selling the same watch, with different options .. like DLC movement, Sterile ... etc etc ..
  19. The DG 4813 and DG 2813 are copies of the famous Citizen 21j movements, since you mention this. The real Citizen movement does not hack, tho ... funny that the Chinese would clone it, and slightly improve it by adding a hacking function. If you wanted to, you could directly replace an A21j 4813 or 2813 with a real japanese movement, but you'd lose the hack function ... oh ... and the Citizen movement is *only* low beat. No 28.8k BPH
  20. 48 is high beat appropriate for modern watches. 28 is low beat appropriate for vintage watches.
  21. Yes, I didnt know I had to reserve a spot by saying I AM IN .. but I am in.
  22. This looks like a job for .... THE KATT !! He's a great watchsmith over on RWI. Courteous, professional and fast. Nothing but good things to say about this guy. He does not do 7750 tho. I appreciate his honesty when he says up front that he's not qualified for those.

    Rolex DSSD

    Interesting. The dial close-up is not that good, but it looks like a Eurotimez 2010v5 dial in a Noobfactory case. A closer dial shot and detail of the insert triangle would tell the real truth. It **could** be gen but the photo quality and lighting are not helping me decide.
