praetor

makes me want to build my own

y not keep both?

I wear my 16610 more often than my 1665, but I like my 1665 more. I don't want scratches on my crystal

I just added some bottles to my cabinet:
balvenie double wood - really sweet and smoky

te bheag - peaty but kinda missing something

lagavulin 16 - amazing

To be added:

laprochaig quarter cask.
 

Also, a bit of a rant: the canadian government monopoly on alcohol is awful. I paid 30 more dollars for balvenie double wood here vs miami.

DOUBLE WRISTING SUNDAY

yes, i [censored] up the datewheel

franken DRSD

I like to wear them close to the wrist. For some reason my 16610 bracelet can do that. I'm cringing at the thought of spending 200 dollars on yuki 7836 bracelet or 700 dollars for the gen

for my DRSD. The bracelet is too big. Thanks

I ordered on 25th of august and just got my QC pics today. To answer your question whether or not it's recycled, I didn't see anything wrong with the QC pis and my caseback number is 0224

I've been doing high intensity strength training. only once a week commitment. p90x is too time consuming for me. Also, diet helps more with weight loss than any exercise program.

want want want. The gen crown looks soo amazing.

it looks as if the case is DLC steel.

I can't commit to doing a full paleo diet, but I am taking steps in the right direction.

1)avoiding grain products like the plague.

2)main source of calories from meats and fats

3) lots of vegetables

4) small intake of fruits

but you do miss the taste of pasta and fresh bread . White rice is apparently ok, except for the fact that it has tons of calories.

How thin does an overlay blank have to be?

I am planning to make some and the only one blank I have is 0.07mm, whereas if I were to make it of plastic sheets, it would be in the range of 0.15 mm.

so far I've just been busy designing the fonts, going to print them later.

I'm pretty sure there's both 1016 and 6610 white explorers. Just look at the examples below, first one is 1016 and the second is 6610.

There's no cheap shipping in canada. It's about 7 dollars for a package without tracking.

Damn, I don't have access to most of those scotch, the government controls all alcohol sales in my province.

I have

1) Bowmore 100 degrees proof - my special occasion drink. it has a really nice smoky flavor, got it from Heathrow airport in London.

2) Tobermory Isle of Mull - my regular drink. pretty ok, some spicy flavor.

just curious, what gear do you use for going outdoors? do you carry a gps? it's a warm -6 C in Toronto.

is it really refinished? that looks too good to be true. it seems like one of the "fixed" dial, i.e. fixing some shitty lume, and someone mislabels it as "refinished".

first of all, it's a 6202. And I have no idea if it's genuine or not, need better pictures.

If I were to guess, it's not genuine.this is one of the variants, a waffle dial.

I wish I have your kind of finances, my 1665 project has been on hold for more than 1 year

I'm guessing your project costed in the 5k ballpark?

Dial looks like a genuine Mark IV, which is around 1981.

Genuine silver datewheel

Genuine 702 crown &tube

Genuine Mk2 fat font insert

Genuine hands

superdome cyrstal

phong case & caseback, artifically aged by the looks of it.

by deduction, the movement's probably genuine.

Why not take it to Rolex Service Center if the cut is deep? It looks as if your crystal is service. There's no harm in sending it to RSC. Buying a genuine crystal aftermarket is actually more expensive then getting the part from an Authorized Dealer (which you have to swap ofc)

1016 day

Donerix leather just came in the mail to be put on my 1016. Biggest watch related purchase in months.

Came with the pouch

Wrist Shot
