You have it backwards. DHL and the other carriers are more aggressive when finding replica goods, because they are paid a bounty for finding them. They want to steal your parcel. It makes them money. EMS and AirMail are the safest ways.

Where's the little mechanic? Did you fire him? Hard times. Hard times.

They have piles of cases, dials, bracelets and bezels. If you ask for a combination they do not have in stock they can assemble one easily. If you look at the Datejust area of a TD web site you will literally see 100 watches, each a unique combination.I'm not a Datejust man so I can not say what the "best" is.

your package looks to be stuck in or on its way to your local post office. I bet it arrives tomorrow

For those who do not know, this is a yearly event, always the same Month of the year ... it's not a surprise. It's just a show that the authorities put on every year. All the dealers here and across the internet had to wait for a week while the factories lay low and high quality stocks run dry but then it's back to business as usual. New model releases are shipping as of yesterday. I'd say that this yearly blip has come and gone as it always does.

Josh and Andrew have never made it a secret that they share facilities, etc etc. They have always been known as "the Twins".

Thank you for explaining.

Very good! An awesome job. Love everything about it.

Well if you just want a Datejust ... the dealers will be happy to build you one, custom ... ask for a dial, bezel, and bracelet of your choosing and they will put it together. Day/Dates are nice to.

I am in this exact situation. Some of you may remember a few years ago that my wife scooped up my solid gold Arola ca1962 with a bundle of laundry and washed it. I've been agonizing over scrapping the case or having it restored.

Also, why is a 330ft dive rating not be "good enough" for divers? I guess I have to be a diver to understand.

From a layman's perspective, water is quite a bit more dense than air. Quite a bit. So why would you say that an air leak test is not as sufficient as a water test? From an uneducated point of view, how can dense water leak in where imperceptibly ethereal air can not?

There are only two factories making a high quality DSSD. The N-Factory and the factory with no name, which Trevor and a couple other dealers can source. That's it ... two kinds. Choose which one looks better to you personally, and then choose what kind of movement you want in the watch .. easy.

At least one person here on this board has put a Trevor dial into a N-Factory watch. I do not know where he sourced the dial. You can always ask Trevor and see what he says.

When it has to look great, it has to go to the Z man.

That's a very fair price for a high quality a21j sub

What's you price range? Buying a top end Sub as your first Rolex seems like a bad idea to me. Why not slide into a $100 noobmariner and if you love it , then and only then blow your wad on the flavor of the month $600 watch.

Ah wow the light really makes it look like vintage lume and insert paint.

That looks like one of pbdads xxx-treem fantasy models. Vintage tinted lume, AR, sprayed dial, recolored insert.And as a note of interest, that really *is* an old DSSD. From the classic "bad 10" year. Kind of ironic that it would be vintagized

So do you want a dress watch or a tool watch? That will help us offer advice.

If the watch winds while you screw it down, the stem is very slightly mis-sized. Too short.
