  1. Thanks UR I wonder if that dial might be the OP Black/Brown like on my 267 dial? It is nothing like say the 36 or 203 dial...it really is black most of the time especially under crystal.. I know what you mean with the 001s it seems those grey (transition) years in OP history have created a lot of ambiguity in model details ... Though it does make it all the more fun Thanks for clearing up on the Ti CB, I did wonder why J would engrave the SS CBs and not the Ti versions ( I assumed it might be the material as thats all I could think of...)
  2. If you hear before me let us know mate and vice versa
  3. I was given a few on their ways and the base logo was one...
  4. I like that.... Thanks for the share
  5. Never knew that....now I need to find out the difference as the few pics I saw of Js they looked engraved...
  6. Continent of the United States I believe... But basically in sales threads I have always assumed it means USA only...
  7. You might be inferring it mate but I aint implying it !! I never heard of the expression.... so sit down have a nice cup of tea and dont get yourself worked up mate. My question had nothing to do with you mate Cheers Ken
  8. :shock: I think you need to lie down mate, wrap up warm and stick to fluids...you are obviously coming down with something...! It will pass... just dont go spreading it...
  9. I cant believe I missed this when I came back As always UR, a really well constructed and informative review, thanks mate Seems like its pretty much the same sort of DSN flaws we have come to expect and love !! Its always his Ti casesets that are my biggest bugbear !! The shape reminds me of those budget cartel 318s a few years back... I thought, though I could be completely wrong, that I read on Risti or the like that this dial has variants similar to a few early 1997 dials etc on the thickness of the numerals, markers etc.. any idea on that mate? Great pics as well mate Thanks K for bumping this up mate
  10. Nice pics mate Congrats and wear it well mate Yeah that CP or rather all those CPs look like those Mr Whippy Ice creams !!! Do you have a few of those OEM favs of yours or does it get passed around the watches..? If not you should buy a couple more mate...you know you would want to
  11. Blimey Val I didnt realise you had such small wrists... why is it these POs always look better on other peoples wrists !!! I hate you mate @B-T mate still loving it...and the controversy
  12. I thought you said he was a friend !!! Go and buy a 005 or 318 mate... Dont get the 111J IMHO they really need to sort out the inscription colour and the case isnt as good in shape for contemporary nor is the crystal compared to the HB factory or the lume...
  13. I will give a go mate .....just in case I will pop down the tool shop and pick up a 16 ounce hammer its useful for delicate work like that ...
  14. Hurry up Harry !! .............. This is getting cruel !!! I know it goes against the zoo rules... but you need to feed the animals mate !!! Heres my lume shot....now show us yours....
  15. Thats a choker mate...!! Hopefully it will turn up.....I see what you mean about the strap I would feel the same way !!! I will keep a look out
  16. And if that dont work then just beat 'em with the watch !!! Love that stealth look mate especially with that movement... Crystal looks effective in that bezel Unusual strap but it works thats for sure !!!
  17. Thanks mate Perlage !!! Thats the one I look forward to seeing what you do decide and how it turns out.... Nice choice of dials... I always like NWs but TBH I like all your list of options but of course it will all depend on final decision on the rest of it... Solid CB and 6497 sounds like the right move as it would be a shame to put a beauty like the 921 behind one... Look forward to the next stage mate Thanks again for sharing its great to see projects like this
  18. I have had no problems with WEs budget watches in terms of the quality it is comparable to any other dealer and sometimes cheaper in that range... but I really would nt buy a Bentley Ling mate in that range.. I just feel the overall quality as a rep OTB is not great and there are plenty of rep models in that price range that offer the same wrist presence and are more accurate... Of course we all collect and wear for different reasons but as long as you know the weaknesses of buying such rep watches and are comfortably with that then "Fill your boots" mate and when it arrives post some pics... You might find it useful to consider others before committing..
  19. Sorry to hear your woes mate.... I wish you well in sorting this and I am sure the TZ mods will be able to advise you on the best course of action plus they will be able to provide more info on the guy.... Have you thought about contacting USPS making out they have sent YOUR package to wrong address even though it may not be your package and see if you can rattle their cage into giving you the senders info etc etc Good Luck mate...Keep us updated !!!
  20. You had me excited on that last link !!!!
  21. Mate, I have to say that idea is out the box and I look forward to seeing the end product, what 6154 dial look are you going for? I love the idea of a destro are you going for the Montres CB etc as well if so is it worth the 921? I agree on the plexi but I think you should leave your options open on that till you finish off the case, which aint a bad job at all!! Especially the edging of the boat hull.... Are you going for a complete refinish or a vinitagised finish? I just wonder if you could make the CG work with a 6154 crown..? I love the idea of the 921 but if you go with that then your display it...? Which engraved plates are you thinking of on that? The concentric or the swirls? I dont know the tech terms so I will keep it simple so I understand !! Great share mate.. Thanks I look forward to see the project progress please keep us updated mate
