praetor

been called out from wearing a crappy pam rep in the TTC. The guy couldn't tell whether it's rep or gen.

it's gen alright. The dial isn't wm9 v2/3. The hands and the lume quality is just amazing.

congrats and nice watch

low date mag, wokky rehaut, low crown position, lugs shape dial font, crystal construction cg shape I am so evil :evil2:

you're probably right. Probably should go play video games and go fishing or something. But I have to finish what I started. Besides, I love being a WIS

if you were in my shoes, how would you feel for the 1st hour or 2 after you found out that your stuff is stolen? very irrational.... right now I'm feeling "yea watever..."

Well, I don't use the money in my bank account for living expenses, I live with my parents =D It's a project that's never been done before on this forum: pad printing. I just won an ebay auction on the equipment I would need, albeit retrofitting some parts. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170631923461&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT I finished the design, and the prototype film positive was a success, now just waiting on the plates and the UV exposure unit. It was 6 months in the planning stages and I have a 2 week window to do it when I have no school >.<

thanks... I resisted filing a paypal dispute. I'm just so frustrated right now b/c I'm really short on cash since I just paid for my summer school and my student loans won't come for another 6 weeks and am starting my DRSD dial project concurently with my DRSD 1665 project. Also, that my school starts in a week ! =( I'm cutting it close: I calculated that I'd have roughly $40 dollars left in my bank account for the next 4 weeks minus the money to CNC a blank dial >.< and the dial project would have to be postponed for another month or two. Of course, I could just ask my parents for money

while it is not Angus' fault, it is the seller's responsibility to get the package to the buyer and make sure that it is insured against potential losses and take the potential for losses into the price of the product and their accounting system. I'm trying to see whether he'll send another watch first.

It's a good thing the Bloc lost. I'd hate to see Canada divided. But it's quite a surprise that NDP won that much seats though.

sorry about that but I was really looking forward to the watch and got angry to now sad...maybe because it was a Rolex, it was a PT 1665 drsd. I was looking forward to stripping it. I would gladly receive the watch in pieces as long as I can put it back together.

It did go through customs in china and I suspect it was stolen there. I'm going to contact puretime first and see his reaction

I ordered a watch form puretime 2 weeks ago, got too excited and signed the package right away and found this: It's not FUkcing damaged it's STOLEN!! FML FUUUCK I'm gonna do a chargeback

Just found this site: http://www.sfw-porn.com/

a 5517 is basically a rolex modded 5513. So take it from there. And yea, you can substitute with a 703 crown.

they've been there for years. And no, there will be no replicas on ebay that will ever be allowed. They do allow homages however. There's a couple nice sellers selling JLC polaris, panerai and some rolex homages.

just compare it to the dial variations in this website. http://doubleredseadweller.com/16520.htm it looks like a gen lumi dial, not really sure because don't want to load the website

well I've only read about how it's connected to James Bond online, so it probably came from the same source. I kind of suspect that Rolex was only adopted in Ian Fleming's much later novels, when fans probably convince him that Rolex was the brand for James bond. Regardless, it was also Ian Fleming's personal watch that he bought in 1962 and I would want one because it was Ian's choice. Since it was bought it in 1962, it should have a gilt dial hmm...

more reasons why you should immediately convert your 1601: 1) It's the literary James Bond watch 2) Matt Damon wears one

it only says 30 miles on the name of the watch but it's only 30m water resistant :bangin:

nice job. I wonder if you can actually drill the lugholes hmm.

neat. personally, I like the service dome better. but that's just me =D I'm going to try modding my PT once it arrives

soon...after exams are over

It's pretty good. I would drill lug holes and shave cg?

they're called serti dials I think. It's a specialty market kinda thing I guess.
