  1. I bought a seawolf from King a while ago, when it arrived it had an unfinished pearl, I contacted her and she was great offering to replace it with a different model, no more seawolfs to be had unfortunately. I decided to keep it, the pearl was bothering me and as these things can, a small imperfection grew in my mind till it was spoiling the watch for me. I bought a gen dial on ebay and contacted Finepics to see if he would do the job. Send it on and Ill have a look he said. He was real busy over the festive period and I told him to take as long as he wanted (at that point I was sick of seeing it). I got a pm the other day saying it was done and I would have it the next day. I missed the delivery but picked it up this morning. I am really pleased with how it turned out. Gen dial fitted, superlumed and a bit of "Magic worked with the pearl" I actually forgot to tell him to have a look at the date which did not line up properly, guess what....thats fixed too. I'm really happy with it, finepics is a top bloke, I would not hesitate to use him again. Heres a couple of pics, one on the titanium bracelet. And one on a rubber strap.
  2. Thanks, I enjoyed reading that. Well done to Angus for taking part.
  3. I think the final list should be in the faq, and peiodicly debated and amended. Invaluable info to a sad git like me!
  4. If you have never seen the Tag link chrono in the flesh and you like the style of the watch you just have to get it. Simple as that. I was shocked by how good it is, it does not just look right, it feels right too.Its the best I've seen yet. Hope people keep this thread going, I would love to see your suggestions.
  5. Yup, the mouse that make you watch work has escaped Give Andrew a P.M. and see what he says. He may be able to send another mouse Seriously though, give him the chance to help and drop him a line.
  6. That was a fantastic read, really enjoyed that. Thanks for taking the time to write it.
  7. Great effort , some good tips too. You've just inspired me to buy some C3 lume from the Darkside.
  8. Yep, fair enough, its a lot of watch for that.
  9. edit( Removed Over-critical nonsence spouted by myself for no reason )edit On the other hand there is every chance I'm talking out of my ass ;-) edit(retained because its true)edit Its very nice though, I like it.
  10. I think it looks like a ss chrono avenger on steroids I dont think there is an accurate copy of the super avenger, I have not seen one with a good dial anyway. Have you read By-Tor's excellent guide to Breitlings? You can find it here Good luck Gary
  11. Honesty is what I want, above all else.
  12. Ordered one on Saturday from Joshusa. Can't wait .
  13. Thats a great diagram Mr Pugwash, Ideal for the hard of thinking like me!
  14. Wow! Thats nice, I think the first watch that really made me notice was a Brietling. Don't think I would meet either of your criteria, never mind. How hard was it to swap the dial?
  15. Thats fantastic, I nearly spat my beer out when I read that. You have just pushed me over the edge............off to by one. Cheers Gary
