  1. I don't think slimeball sells anything that's really worthwhile...
  2. I agree, J. People wouldn't pull half the shit they do if there were actual consequences that came as a result of their actions.
  3. All I ask is that you put it to good use
  4. Send me your shipping info... Pearl is on me, gratis...
  5. woof*- How about this loose one on the bottom?
  6. Those look very similar to the ones that come on the CWP inserts. Those are junk as well...
  7. I've found that the length seems to vary; it's best to size to the case/tube and crown you're working on and cut accordingly.
  8. Looking good! But I agree- A little more light and I think you'll be shooting with less noise.
  9. The one that started it all... Looking great, J! It's funny... I still have finishing touches I need to add to several of my builds as well. Kinda keeps things going... Great photog work as well! I dig this shot...
  10. Hmmmm... I can't really tell from that image...
  11. It definitely wears big... But overall, it's not terribly huge (in my opinion). My wrist measures 6.8", so by no means do I have a large wrist. The lighter weight of the Ti makes this one a little more comfortable, however. The weight isn't causing any imbalance or shifting of the case from one side of my wrist to the other...
  12. Yeah... This is one of those pieces where, if I even think of selling it, Mrs. Ubi is gonna whoop me upside the head to knock some sense into me. Doh.
  13. I almost felt bad about taking the movement from the Eterna to make the Daytona. But I usually look at transplanting movements from one case to another as being similar to people or families moving from one house to another. The heart is still the same, so to speak; the exterior might look a little different, however...
  14. Thank you for the kind comments, lantis! Much appreciated!
  15. V3 is exactly as I stated above- The finish is indeed more durable; whether that is a result of a different method of media blasting, or the fact that the finish was applied to a bare case instead of one that had been brushed prior (V2) is difficult to ascertain. But those are (from what I have come to understand) the differences in cases and case finishes. Again, the easy way to tell the difference is to look at the edge of the crown guard. V3 has a chamfer/bevel on the edge that is polished; V2 has the bevel, but it is media blasted like the rest of the case...
  16. I think if you're looking for something a little more reliable, the Diver is the way to go For me... The Ti case was something that I could not resist
  17. V3 is all the dealers have now (V2 is long gone). So even if you wanted V2, V3 is all you'd get However, one sure way to identify the V3 at a quick glance is that the crown guards have a slightly chamferred and polished edge; V2 didn't have that. Upon closer inspection, you'll find that the surface of the V2 has a brushed finish under the media blasted finish; this is because they used left over brushed V1 cases to re-finish and sell as V2. V3 is a media blasted finish directly applied to an unfinished, smooth surface.
  18. Thank you, sir. While the hobby is a lot of fun and there is a lot to learn, the watches tend to come and go. The friendships made, however are the real value here All the best //ubi
  19. Been wearing my Chronopassion at least once a day, and have not exactly been gentle with it; swimming, showers, daily life, kids, etc. Mrs Ubi smacked her watch against it the other day when she went to hold my hand, and it's not picked up any dings, dents or scratches. It's a lot more durable than the V2, methinks.
  20. A few to share... Some past pics...
