Lookin' good, E!

Nah, resting and getting ready to go for an MRI... :-p

Yeah, "World's Craziest Fools"! Unfortunately it only made it 10 episodes and died this past August.

I dunno, Mr. T's got a TV show in GB now!

Blue Monday...

Cartel 5512 today. Still trying to decide whether or not to make a Tudor out of it! Every time I get close to putting it "under the knife" I have second thoughts... :-p

I don't know if the big-block dial will fit the rep Daytona case. I have a new rep Daytona case so if somebody would "donate" a dial to me I'll try to build one!

Thanks, Red. Kudos to chiman for most of the dial all I had to do was add the shield at 12:00! My parts guy actually goofed on one of my orders and I wound up with the case.

This looks to me like just another dressed up 2836...

We were doin' OK 'til that PAM snuck in... I think I'll switch to this linen for the rest of the day...

It IS a pain but you have the same issue with any Rolex franken if you want it to look right...

The date window would be incorrect. For it to look right you have to use a 2671 with a DW overlay and a "proper" rep or gen dial. I've built a couple and they are a bit of a PITA as the 2671 DW is "sunken" so a "shim" has to be added between the original DW and the overlay or the overlay will rub on the movement. I did this by sacrificing a 2671 DW and grinding the "teeth" off the inside and then sanding.

I love it, M!! Still wearin' it's cousin...

You'll be surprised, some are quite nice! I've only got one Silix "budget" watch left but I still wear it on occasion. This was about $50 when I bought it a couple years ago so I'm not sure how much it would be now...

Feeling "classy" today...

Time to get up!!!

Cheap decal for today, and probably the rest of the weekend...

I have stopped selling/shipping anything to Italy as their postal system is either a complete fiasco or crooked. In the 10+ years I've been selling stuff on fleabay I've had maybe 7 or 8 packages go missing and over 50% of them were going to Italy. The last sale to Italy went missing and the buyer filed a chargeback that was "approved" even though tracking showed I shipped the package and it had left the US. According to PP they were granting the chargeback since tracking didn't show the buyer received it.

+100 to the Rollie Jubilee as far as a rep bracelet is concerned. If gen probably any of the folded link bracelets are extremely light and comfortable.

Gorgeous!

Kinda cool. I've seen rep subs with those markings but never a GMT...
