Haha - Yes, we know who's selling it...if you're in the know! HAHA! And yes, even his crap looks marvelous!

Thanks for your help guys! I'm gonna buy it, I think Gonna meet up for a local deal next Monday!

I don't know if I want to tell you...don't want to start a bidding war

I think the bulbous crown is just a reflection...the 6:00 side of the crown looks right...any opinions on the rest?

Hey guys - I'm about to pull the trigger on this Gen 16800...what do you guys think? Anything glaringly wrong with it? Crown looks odd to me...any opinions?

Just in case somebody has subscribed to this thread - this bad boy is now up for sale

I kind of want it not to glow....here's the original hands on the watch:

Hey folks - I am going to relume a Minute hand to match the original tritium on and Hour Hand and I need some advice. The original minute hand was damaged, so I am buying a replacement and removing it's "new" lume. It doesn't need to glow (the hour hand doesn't glow either), so I was thinking about using Testers and mixing White and a dot of brown to get the beige that I'm after. Is this the right a way to get it done? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks! But I'll be holding on to this one for a while. . Can't way to get my boy interested in this hobby.

...and done. I haven't been around much as of late...the wife and I just had our first baby...and all my free time has been going into prepping for the arrival. But...I finally got off my butt and finished up the 3717. It now sports: • Gen Caseset (Case, Case Back, Movement Holder, Crystal, Pushers, Crown, Etc..) • Gen Dial • Gen Hands (and I think the silver on the hands is worth it) • Gen Date wheel and German Day wheel. I know the 3717 didn't technically come with it, but I think it looks pretty cool! • Swiss 7750 • Modded Bracelet Clasp • Standard Rep Bracelet and Endlinks I'll take some better pictures soon!

Agreed! Always a fan of your Rollie builds, and this is up to par!

It a PO kinda day

Haven't been around much as of late...but love me some Tudors...Gen 79090

Well more proof to the awesomeness of mesh. While at a family Christmas party two family members comented on how nice my watch was. That never happens!

Wearing the PO on mesh today.

Looks great. But I have to say, a full gen bezel makes a huge difference. Find and used Yuki case and spend the $$$ on the bezel. You won't be sorry. And congrats on the kids to you and Zeleni. I've got my first on the way. He'll be here in April...

Cougar get one! Nanuq it's a 42mm so it has 20mm lugs. The 45mm does have 22s though. Mike I'm lucky enough that it fits on the largest hole without an extension perfectly!

Anybody ever notice how good the 42mm Planet Ocean looks on Omega Mesh? Cuz' Dang....It looks good! This is my Gen. 42mm PO on a Gen. Older Style Omega Mesh... I tried the same bracelet on my Vintage Seamaster 300 Diver, and it didn't look great..but it does on the PO....

Franken 3717...

If a franken is bringing a rep to life...the the other direction must be "zombying"... You could always buy a used Gen. bracelet...they usually sell for $300-$400....

I did my part...now everybody else do yours!

Just emailed him...I'll let you know his budget...

Jeesh! Glad you made it back! I usually read your "Life in Alaska" posts and think, man, that sounds like a hoot. This time, not so much.

Hey Guys - A friend of mine is going to Singapore and I mentioned that I have the best travel resource in the world....you guys! So, here's the scoop from my friend - any suggestions would be great - my friends are world travelers - they've been almost everywhere - they are in the their mid-60's but are very active...they are planning on going Mid-February "We are looking for a 3 or 4 star hotel that is in an area/district that is located in the center of all that there is to see, close to the rail line so as to see the things that are not close, and safe to walk to and from at night. In other words we don't want to have to take a taxi to whatever to see what there is to see and we don't mind a mile or so walk." Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! db2

Nice Clasp! Glad I was able to participate in this build!
