  1. Marinamm20 and FxrAndy Thankyou I wasnt sure but wanted to check.
  2. Can anyone tell me if there is any differences in the quality of Cape Cod cloths? Are they like Microfibre cloths or Chamois where they are diferent grades and textures (fibres or leather quality) I ask as I have seen many at various prices and wondered if there was a noticeable difference in these or their ability to remove scratches. Any advice would be welcome
  3. Lovely looking watch, you must be chuffed.
  4. Yes mate I suppose if your russian it would be your true home!!! All that money bought you few West Ham players over the years so in a way your right!!! We get everywhere just to show the unworthy what real football is all about!!! STBFUYA
  5. Thats a really nice collection, very jealous. I like that presentation box too, sets them off well.
  6. I had an email from Neo proposing to replace or fix my watch. Hopefully it will be sorted I would rather wait longer and get it right. Just saw Helina's post on price rise for DSSD. Not sure what that implies for current orders>
  7. Thanks for that. I am really surprised given costs etc at how well that sweeps.
  8. Dont know why but vid wouldnt play. I tried a few others in right hand box, they worked OK. Is it me?
  9. Just thought I would practice posting an image!
  10. Certainly in my case the grain of the photo isnt the imperative guide. Its the level of the horizontal line of the dial print itself and the significant variation from centre line vertical. I think thats also true on Beano's but IMO his isnt as flawed as mine especially in terms of the CL vertical
  11. Thanks for that BikeMike. It starts to make sense now. Polynomial Thanks as well. But being dense what is a ticker. I looked at a gen but I cant see what is raised on the CG. When you say the 'i' series would this be the ultimate that I see on sites? Thanks again
  12. You want to see mine!!! #892
  13. I just looked at my DSSD on Eurotimez website. I must say thanks to Techlogik, he was right. My dial looks prety bad - the Rolex crown is off centre, the words are off centre and drop off the horizontal, the words over the six marker are also off the horizontal lifting left to right. The lume pearl is off centre in the triangle marker. I have looked at the pictures head on, side on. Laptop on its side etc. And I know its not the photo angles. I also compared mine to other pics in the order list and theirs dont do this, well not as badly. I have let Neo know and hopefully this will get sorted.
  14. As a new user I am spending a lot of my time searching the information stickies here on the forum. Its a lot to take in but things are starting to make more sense. However when I use the advanced search option and choose my keywords then select a forum then apply search the search still takes me to the whole forum, I have followed the advice for newbies by toad torrent and his links but I really dont know what I am doing wrong. To be honest I am really struggling to find answers to a lot of my questions and I honestly dont know what I doing wrong. Even when I use the standard search option the keywords dont seem to be taken in order by the search tool ie, I type in 'identifying watch movements' or 'How to....etc' and I get every post mentioning the word movement not 'identifying' etc. In advanced I do the same not just on those key words but others I select the sub-forum such as Movement Q&A and the search comes back with posts talking about movements in the Rolex Forum or any other forum not selectedby the advance search. I must be doing something wrong but to be honest I have never had this sort of problem searching in other search tool engines, so is it my use of jargon? I just dont know. Any advice would be welcome as I dont want to keep posting questions when the answers are out there. And its difficult, for all of us I am sure, trying to get involved with the forum, learn about the rep world, learn about watches and all the nuances of the movements and their applications. and in turn balance this with work and family life and Football!! Its just so frustrating given all that, to spend an hour searching threads without finding an answer and not knowing why. Any constructive advice would be appreciated.
  15. Judging by the posts on this forum and their own site, I think they are going to be very busy over the next few days. Looks like everyones DSSD has arrived at once!!
  16. Someone was good enough to tell us on another site. Just thought I would post it though I am sure most of you already know the answer. Its the prefix for year of manufacture. Starting from 1998 as A and onwards.
  17. Great Pics, Nice watch. Thanks. How is the movement and was there any reason you made that specific change apart from the obvious.
  18. Hi I have been trying to find out more about the 088GMT, the gen version, I have the rep. I have found several 088's on the web, for sale, for reference etc and I have found variants based on letter ID. Such as PAM088 GMT 'K' series and 'F' series. I have looked on Paneristi.com for some help in identifying these variants and their differences but I cannot find it under the resources reference section. Can any of you guys help with trying to find out what these ID variants actually mean. I wonder if its just something simple like a strap variation, its hard to be sure from the 088's I have seen and the case backs are not always available to view. Any help would be appreciated, Thanks
  19. As there have been no updates to orders recently. And the next batch is now on view (well once they sort out their web page) It will be interesting to see other peoples latest DSSD orders for consistency and quality and the positioning of the watches for pics, in comparison to your own order, especially picking up other members comments on Dial markings and dial scriptions etc.
  20. Great pics, very useful review. Thanks for the time you took to do it. One question though - who is Little Hero? ( I looked up under members but he doesnt have any posts or profile )
  21. I think i can see a fish swimming around in there!!!
  22. The watch looks good, I think that dial really makes a difference. But most of all I like that stencilling. Great Job! You made that swap look easy??
