  1. I was thinking about making a New Year's resolution, but what the heck -- why tamper with perfection? Anyways. Postman Pat woke me up and gave me this. Indeed a nice man. Sweet Sister Sadie this 29M is a beauty Hey, have a great New Year's Eve. Remember to drive carefully, arrive home safely, and don't embarrass yourself. In other words, make sure you're sobered up, buckled up, and zipped up.
  2. My mistake. I compared to the wrong one on Josh's site Here's the right one: http://www.1-pc8838.com/0rldv00108-6263pn-ssss-white-asian-venus-p-10138.html
  3. Can you do a close up of the dial. I've asked my dealer and he says the dials haven't changed
  4. This has happened so often to me, that I have made a habit of loc titeing everything, checking movement hold screws, loc tite rotor screw hand loosing that silly cap over the rotor screw (on several rolex clones) or it will eventually fall off. also loc tite your bracelet screws and grease up any gaskets before having your local pressure test the watch. That is now standard procedure after loosing half a dozen watches to water, movement failure and the whole damn thing simply falling apart. The rotor screw in my DSSD I busted and had to superglue a small rod to the screw head - secure the screw in loc tite (careful not to put it in the bearings) and brake the rod loose after a couple of hours. This might not be the watch makers procedure but it worked for me and the rotor is still secure after two years of daily beating. Loc tite is your friend I hope you get it fixed T
  5. This one fooled me. I noticed the lower sub dial wasn't bleeding into the minutes and correct spacing between the top ones. It's hard to tell that the lower subdial is actually slightly smaller. Still don't get why they just move the lower hand and make the dials like gen. That would be a killer rep for the money
  6. Ring out the old, ring in the new, Ring, happy bells, across the snow: The year is going, let him go; Ring out the false, ring in the true. Thank you RWG, cause I O U
  7. Lug holes have some Black spray paint inside - looks worse than they are. Might have over cooked it a bit with 1.5mm drill though
  8. This is what it looked like when it was new: And off course decades later it shows sign of wear. But not all bad for an almost 40 year old watch. Perhaps I should list it on eBay? - Nah just kidding. Half way through beating this watch (Cartel 1655 eta rolex dressed mov) up I was regretting my action but I think it turned out pretty nice. You like or is it over the top? Cheers T
  9. Surprisingly great on my 7 3/4 inch monkey wrist
  10. I got that message too. Must be what happened - he never lied to me before
  11. How come the lower subdial doesn't look too low on this one?
  12. Warning: Noob content ahead: I'm curious to know why aren't they using seagull movement for a proper vintage daytona? Seems like the subdial spacing is allright? http://www.ebay.co.u...=item5891494be2 And another mystery to me: Why won't they make a proper vintage daytona out of the latest Cartel 6263 - seems to me they need to make the buttom subdial closer to center - it's faux anyway so why is it placed too damn low?
  13. That's just crazy. How much would the whole cow be worth?
  14. Better fit? http://www.ebay.com/...=item2c5fb11a47
  15. The launch has been canceled apperently due to problems with the case manufacturing
  16. We are going to get or we are going to have to get?
