  1. In comparison, Rolex has just as many logo variations with their coronet as well. Granted, some of these differences were a result of utilizing different suppliers for their dials, some of those differences are still apparent in current day applications, and production is in-house. As an aside, I thought it was quite interesting to see that some gen Omega dials are Singer made...
  2. The neo-vintage Daytona with the seconds at 9:00 is the 16520; production from 1988 - 2000 using the Rolex 4030 caliber (which is based on the Zenith El Primero 400): The vintage Daytona also has a seconds at 9:00 and is the 6239/6240/6241/6262/6263/6265; production from 1964 - 1987/8 using the Rolex 727 (which is based on the Valjoux 72):
  3. Looks great! especially at $35! As for the CG pin- If you are doing a vintage style hommage, I believe you'll actually want a domed pin
  4. I had been wearing mine all day; actually probably my 2nd wearing since washing I try to keep wearings/washings down to a minimum to try and preserve color and shape as much as possible...
  5. Probably best to factor in a chief AR coating on it as well, as that will also play a big role in how the dial will appear.
  6. Ye olde Planet Ocean frankenstein.
  7. Some people build models... Some people build cars. And some people build watches. I'm sure everyone has their own reasons for doing so. Most here enjoy the hobby for what it is with no intent to be deceptive or unscroupulous. Just another facet to an already enjoyable past time.
  8. Today's ubi wear: -Michael Kors metal button knit -Diesel Zathan 8BE 26x30 -Frye Dillon boots The shirt has a more tailored fit through the abdomen, though since I have my hands in my pockets it's bunched at the bottom thus negating that effect.
  9. Agree with the button down collars- Those are terrible...
  10. I dig the Autavia as well. Great looking watch...
  11. These days, I simply use a Braun 8995 electric shaver. I'm a lazy fucker.
  12. Been browsing with the dark theme all morning. Nice touch and really sets off images, though a little hard to read at times. All in all, I like it
  13. I believe it... Edit: Ha- I looked at your link after I posted my pic! Great minds think alike... As for vintage... My old SM300 seems to have that upturned logo as well...
  14. Heh... Fun stuff! I had the gold, black and blue ones when I was a kid; think I was 7 or 8 at the time. I loved them...
  15. Well, it technically belongs to my 5 year old son, so whenever he's ready to sell, I suppose. He'll probably receive it in about 20 years or so; I'd ask around then Speaking of my son... He's kicking off the week with this vintage piece...
  16. That's an interesting method for cleaning the dial. How do you dry it once it's been soaking in the denture cleaner? I'm thinking that you don't want to let it air dry on it's own as that could leave residue spots; wiping with a cloth could streak or risk fine hairline scratches...
  17. kbh is right- You'll definitely want to go with taller minute and hour wheels to clear the indicies. But that's a pretty easy swap out on 2824's and 2836's. Requires a little work getting into the movement on the dial side, but nothing too painful.
  18. I typically wear my button down shirts casually, though I am very particular regarding fit. I like them very fitted through the chest/abdomen, and no longer than 29". I usually wear them with the top button undone, sleeves quarter rolled and paired with some Diesel jeans and my Frye boots. Most everything I have goes through my tailor first...
  19. A beauty! VERY lovely!
  20. Depends on which case ref you have. If it is for a 3135 movement, you'll want either a 2824-2 or 2892-2 with the movement specific Stilty ring if they are available. As for hands- Just use Tudor hands. Easy, simple fit.
  21. Starting off the week with: And Tues: Have a great week... Ubi
