Yeah, me too. It's a Clark 127 and the cyclops wasn't perfectly centered so I sanded it off - and I was surprised how good it looked!

Yep...

You can also sand off the cyclops of a T127. Pretty easy - I did it for my old 1680:

FxrAndy can do it. Not sure if he's got the time though - send him a PM.

Last thing I heard was that he had to leave his flat and move to some kind of special-care home. I guess it has become difficult for him to be online with all the stuff he needs for that... I really hope he's OK! Sixx, you are missed here!

This is normal, mate. "Handed over to customs" doesn't mean they're actually investigating it... the next status will be "Released from customs" if it doesn't arrive before that.

Tudor Heritage today. So incorrect and yet so nice...

I agree with you, Star. I thought about selling my WM9 v2 as well, but as the only real downside on the v2 seems to be the crown position I'd rather live with that. I paid close to 500 euros for that watch (including a repair @Domi) and if I sell it now I might get - what, 400? 350? So no, I'll keep it. It's good enough. No one notices those little flaws anyway... apart from us crazy watch geeks here that is...

Ah, I see! Sounded like the TC crown Position was lower before. I can clearly see that the crown sits too low on my v2. But if that is the only advantage of the TC I see no point in exchanging my V2 for a TC.

Really? But the crown position is still not perfect on the v2...

Yes, I'm particularly interested in the V2. And it's not just the general "which one is better" - I'd really like to see a comparative review...

Hi there, has someone done a comparison between these two models? Old vs. new "King of Subs"... Cheers Whatever123

Sounds interesting. Have you tried that yourself? Pics?

You have a point... Maybe my try in baking a dial just wasn't good enough. The lume was so dried out that it fell off when I barely touched it...

Yes, I don't like the baking thing too... not because I need it to glow but the lume tends to get very dry and crumbly imo...

Hi there, I have a vintage Rolex with a nicely aged bezel insert. Still the dial looks like new (apart from the lume color). I wonder how you can achieve that washed-out tritium look on the lume dots - is there any way without reluming it? If you would for instance put a tiny drop of thinner or cleaning solvent on the lume dots... I haven't tried yet, I'm a coward... Any ideas? Thanks! Whatever123

Noob GMT II today:

Thanks for your work, guys! RWG is extremely well moderated, that's one of the reasons I prefer it over the other boards.

Still this one...

Looks very good imo! How did you reduce the crown size? My Josh 1680 could use a smaller crown as well...

Yes, I've got one - it's the one you drilled the lugholes on some time ago. But as I'm getting used to the size and actually like the 1680 very much I want a better one now... a modded 1680 would be just fine. Too bad I was too late when you sold yours! Never seen that model - very nice!

I'm with Jkay - 1680 again today...

No-cylops 1680 for me today...

I get the same message on my iPad. On my iPhone it works as it should. Strange...

lol... good one! damnyouautocorrect.com
