exactly what i needed to see bazz! thanks so much for everyones input, check back tommorow for the results, i got a good feeling about beginners luck on this one

thanks, maybe you are truely "just as good" hardy har, seriously, thanks for that tip!!!

thanks for that link, ughhh, thank god i got another 1680 sub on the way, lol, pray to the eta gods that i can pull this off!!!

lol, say what????? ugggghhhhhh

the little button that you press in on the movement to remove the crown is stuck, and now the stem wont click back in. i know this has been covered before, but please help me fix this, i dont have the time to search for the solution right now.

thanks guys

i want that dudes job, just sitting there marking little wax paper packets all day long......somewhere in geneva, lol. of course, pocketing over thousandth one my myself and my amigos here.....

free superdomes for all

as for those 2 different sub tropics, i have seen both bevels on gen subs. i think its possible that the one with the lesser beveled edge is the stock crystal, while the heavier bevel may be oem, but i'm pretty sure they are both gen

i see you took my advice, got the same one as for it being gen, i believe it is, but i could be wrong, who knows. just wait till you put it in, wheeeeeew, beautiful

congrats!

ps - nanuq, you're a madman!!!! :)

i just caught that also chieftang, i have never heard of an AD that was willing to work on a rep, thats odd

what mods are you trying to do? might be able to do them yourself with some practice

das one gooooood lookin crystal

nice, i did report it, so who knows, it was a REALLLLLLY bad vintage exp II, just horrible, would've been funny if they didnt try to pass it off as %100 gen

i know you would brother, and i would do the same for you

thanks for the ref for people that dont know what i'm talking about.

if somehow, i get my hands on a bunch, the extras go to you

just throwing this out there, i REALLY need 3 gen vintage sub inserts. if you have any, one, half, the lum dot, i will take it or them, so please pm me if you have.

I also need 3 sets of gen crown/tubes for subs. so if you got any of those sitting around, i will take them off your hands as well.

one last thing, i need a vacation...

tribal, i tried to pm you, box was full.

please pm with the info, I need as many vintage gen dot bezels as possible, dont care if the insert itself is aftermarket or mbw.

thanks

thanks guys, now the modding comes, jessssssshhhhhh, good news is, i finally can drill my lugs and bracelets without destroying everything!!!

just got word that my mbw white 1680 sub is on the way, as well as my mbw white sd dial. i am quite excited, thats all

great post, love the photos, and now i have a REALLY good reference for doing my cgs!! :)

as usual, i am absolutley blown away, very nice job Randy

okay, so i followed edges guide to a t, or so i thought drilling these lugs on my 1680 sub.

low rpm drill, 1.3 mm cobalt bits for the case, 2.0 for the bracelet, 3 in 1 lub.

now, the actually holes on the case went off with ease, drilled through like butter.

Then to the bracelet. the bracelet itself wasnt to much trouble, but when i got to the seperate end-pieces, drama.

not only did the drill tear off the holes on 3 different endpieces, but when i finally got through on a set (4 holes) THE DAMN BARS WOULD NOT GO THROUGH.

I double, tripled checked EVERYTHING. am i supposed to get gen endpieces or something, or am i just a moron?????

good shots!!! nothing i love more then a woman with a nice big mans watch on, well, there's some things i love more.....

and just to chime in, the sellers name is "universaldials"

thanks, my bad, guess just ACE hardware doesnt. know of any sites that sell them by the single bit, instead of having to guy a who set that i dont need?

EDIT: no worries, found em on amazon, thanks for the help!!!

I know that I need a 1.3mm cobalt bit for the lugs on my mbws, and a 2mm for the bracelets, but....stores in the USA dont sell in mm, they sell in inches. I did a metric conversion, and came up with 1.3mm = 0.05 and 2mm = 0.07

I just want to confirm these measurments with any of you that have experience with this or be corrected

Thanks guys
