Nice thread! I love the idea of getting a Rolex or Omega from my birth year. But apparently nothing new came out in 1976? Guess I have to look on...

Oh, that's cool. I agree, no one really needs those signatures. On the other hand: They don't hurt as well. I'd rather see the RWG user signatures restricted to a couple of lines. Some are ridiculously long...

I think everyone can disable the signatures in their tapatalk settings... this is sent from tapatalk. No signature.

Hej! Welcome to RWG - have fun and show us your Frankens...

Great show! Loved Daniel Craig and the Queen...

Nice photo Andy! Yes, those SE phones already had great cameras years ago. Long before the iPhone...

Some new pics incl. wristies from today:

The cam is fun!

Very cool Andy! I have to pop over before the Richtfest to see the progress.

Oh and I remember some pics of the 1680 you took in the snow... they were not bad at all!

The new cam is a Fuji X10 - love it! I sold my Olympus DSLR and my Lumix TZ-10 for this one...

It's FxrAndy's old modded MBW... look here: http://www.rwg.cc/topic/143175-modded-mbw-1680-white-sold-to-a-great-friend/page__hl__%2Bmodded+%2Bmbw+%2B1680+%2Bwhite+%2Bsold

Hi RWG,

I've got a new camera and just went out playing with it and my Franken 1680. Enjoy!

Welcome to our addiction...

Come on... no one of our Rolex experts knows this?

Hi there,

does anyone know the part number / reference no. for the EX II 42mm crystal? And is there a Clark replacement?

Thanks

It fits like a gen sub. Bezel presses the gasket and crystal in position. It is a tight fit so be careful not to mess up the case and bezel!

Oh yes, it's a very tight fit... how on earth do I get that bloody bezel off?

Hi there,

I just received a 216570 but the crystal is a bit crooked. How is the bezel construction on this model? Do I take off the bezel together with the crystal like on the 40mm version? Or do I push out the crystal from the insert and the bezel stays in place?

Thanks

Odd indeed... maybe a complete new install?

There's a reset option in settings - maybe you should try that?

Each forum asked me for my user/password upon my first visit, no problem here.

But I do have the HTML tags in my PMs. I believe it's since the last update... hopefully they'll fix it soon.

german efficiency!!

Yes... I just wish my bloody project co-workers were only 10% as efficient... lol

They cant do that, ask for proof! You could easy say its a gift and that you dont know the value!

I got a watch from the states last week. Custom took it i phoned them and ask them way they stoped it. They then Asked me what was inside i told them. Its a watch, the cristal was changed, i havent payed anything for that due it was my brother that did the change. He then says aahhhaa but you two dont have the same last name (i was thinking what an idiot) i told him, no my mother remarried over there 20years ago. Silence after that for a few seconds then he says, thank you, we will relise it now and you will have it tomorrow.. As long as you say it is a gift or somthing ells its always OK, never ever say you bought it!!!

It just doesn't work like that here, mate. It really doesn't. They will ask for proof of purchase and if you can't provide that you either pay full import taxes and

VAT for a genuine watch (because they will assume that you just bought it then and they will estimate the value)... or you admit it's a rep and it gets destroyed and you'll have to pay some fine and get a nice lawyer letter... I know what I'm talking about. Unfortunately...

Sending it back to Germany would work from Usa, regular registerd airmail custom decleration 65$ "repaird cristal" "return to owner"

I seriously doubt it... customs are so strict here, they would ask for a proof of purchase for the watch. If they hadn't already figured out it's a rep by then... believe me, they're good.

lol

Sorry, I won't be any help... but [censored]anium!

When did you PM them? You need to give them some time. Most of us have a "real life" outside RWG... just saying...

Oh you can sync over the air with an iPad as well. Works since iOS 5.

I vote for the iPad. It's just perfectly designed imo....
