In Daniel Craig we have the first believable bond since Connery.

Whoever plays James Bond has to look as if he could actually kick someones [censored].

The ones in between just did'nt.

Really enjoyed Casino Royale, hope the next is as good.

Thanks hyster might be an option!

Pleasure mate, did you see the post above yours?

Hi all,

I have been looking for a 42mm PO dial for one of my watches after finding out one night that drinking and reluming dont mix.

Why do these things seem like a great idea when you had a few?

I tried a few dealers and kept an eye on the members market, nothing.

So I gave up........

No, not really, I contacted Silix and got him to send me his 45mm dial with the flat feet.

I got it tonight and after comparing it to the 42mm dial I decided that it was really close to fitting,..... if it was trimmed.

I used a movement holder to cover the dial and use as a template, the movement holder fitted inside the case perfectly so I knew that was the diameter I was looking for.

The holder protected the dial from swarf as I kack handedly hacked away with my dremel.

Anyway here are the money shots, sorry they are not the greatest but I thought they might be of some interest to a fellow watch butcher.

By the way, noobs take note, I have wrecked many watches, if you want to play be prepared to throw it away!

( Should be my moto)

I've had a bit of a fart about with the pearl, relumed it and relumed the hands.

AR from the one and only K2222, if you have not sent him something, do it.

I am happy with it because I can wear it again but what do you guys think?

I have bought this model. I promise to make a review.

Yes, it would be very interesting to see how you get on with that.

FTIW, I cannot see any lip marks on my k2222 coating...

Can't say I saw any either.

Sorry, have not had the plesure of dealing with chieftang so I cant compare for you.

I'm sure someone will chip in though.

I've never used Cheiftang but his results look great.

I can comment on K2222 though, he has coated several crystals for me, the results are impressive and he is an absolute diamond to deal with, the kind of guy you can trust. He has treated me very well whenever I have delt with him.

Whoever you choose you will be fine I'm sure.

Someone tell me that the hev valve on the rep works. If it doesn't... . I would expect any rep of the year to at least have the same functionality. :smile:

Honestly, how often is that going to matter?

For me the Big Bang is just too expencive to be a rep, I would rather put the cash towards a genuine.

At rep money, the steelfish is an very good buy, easily one of the best of the year.

Cracking rep, really tempted to go for one of these.

Good move with the datewheel, I don't think I could live with the rep one.

You have got yourself a keeper there when its finnished.

I will go offshore on work in scotland over New Years

NORing

Happy Christmas to you too NORing, the only place to be on Hogmanay, is Scotland, its just a pitty you are working.

I will have a dram for you.

Congratulations, no mater how good the reps get, you can't beat a genuine.

Wish you good health to wear it Sir.

:thumbsup:

The Scotch-tape (or post-its) is a good one, I'm gonna try that.

cheers for taking the time to post these, some great info in there.

Cheers for that vric.

:thumbsup:

It will be well worth the wait guys, K2222 has done a few for me and the results are very impressive.

You provide an excellent service Sir.

Does the Omega SMP Chrono insert fit the non Chrono SMP?

Bump for the attention of the Omega W.I.S.

Fantastic stuff, enjoyed that :laugh:

basically, if you can't get them anymore.. does this mean the HBB's with the magnificent polished OEM ceramics (RG/Cer, Black Magic, Tulgas) have joined the rarified 'collector's level?

..hmm

Probably, will it be worth more than it was bought for is another question entirely.

Before tearing your bezel off, try dental floss, no honestly give it a go.

I've taken the back off a Fiddy with a roll of sticky tape without any trouble before.

Well, that's easy. I can send you the 2 or 3 extra links which I won't need.

Nice one Victora

I've got one for the wife sitting in the sorting office, missed the postman today.

Came from Reg, very much looking forward to seeing it on Monday.

The only 26mm strap in black I have is the DSN rep strap that came with my ultimate fiddy, if thats any use let me know.

Don't need your cash by the way.

Nice looking watch, would indeed be interesting to see a rep of it.

Good info there, thanks for that.

To be fair w2w, there are a quite a few of our American cousins that want him to win too.

Here's hoping he does the biz.

Sorry to resurrect this thread but one more question,......

Does the Omega SMP Chrono insert fit the non Chrono SMP?

The pearl just seems to look better on most Chronos.

Ricky Hatton, is a lovely guy, hope he wins.

I just hope he can stay with Mayweather for a few rounds and catch him with one of his awesome body shots.

Its on at about 3 in the morning here so I will be sound asleep, I'll check it out when I get up.
