Basically , just wondering does many feel as bad as i have all day today , lmao? i dont hardly ever drink or consume as much spirits as i did on the 31st and believe me i am paying dearly for it, just wondering how u guys felt today? lol and also i hope u all have a happy new year joe(rbj69)

good topic tt , put us some better pics up closer to the dial and the side shot and that will help many that r trying to figure it out ok , if u want i can post my genuine for u right beside it for a comparison shot, joe

wow the first pic of bythors looks similar to your cgs chrono, maybe u can pose your watch the same way and take us some pics in the same angles ok now i must get my beauty rest, lol happy new years guys joe

bythor that is what i thought the movment looks like , i didnt know they made some without the 1520 stamping on it like chrono is showing unless they stamped it somewhere else? and on the case , i dont even think it is a mbw , just because how square the cgs look but they could have been shaped , but mainly the case like u said looks really new for this watch again on the crystal it is possible to be a superdome 19 but if the other stuff is not then why put a expensive crystal on it? could be a aftermarket of the superdome , not sure? joe

isnt that two different styled 5513 , or did they still have the same crystals edited: i see now what u r saying, unless it is the superdome style tropic 19 ? nanug would be best for the crystal issue , it could be but im not sure i will come back after the new year and see what u come up with, now im off to sleep , hope it works out for u joe

the pics r not so good but , yes the case looks aftermarket to me as well, the movment looks funny as well, but the pics r not so great , take a pic of the winder on the other side so we can read the writing on it , part of it look genuine but part of it looks fishy to me , however i have not worked on a no date movment before and it is different than the dated version , i would say the dial is a readial but again the pics r in a funny color im just speculating but for sure if it was told to u to be 100% genuine , i would say bologne to that where did u get if from? joe

any help would be appreciated joe

i really wish everyone a safe and happy new year and thought these thoughts could be useful to all of us To realize The value of a sister Ask someone Who doesn't have one. To realize The value of ten years: Ask a newly Divorced couple. To realize The value of four years: Ask a graduate. To realize The value of one year: Ask a student who Has failed a final exam. To realize The value of nine months: Ask a mother who gave birth to a stillborn. To realize The value of one month: Ask a mother who has given birth to A premature baby. To realize The value of one week: Ask an editor of a weekly newspaper. To realize The value of one minute: Ask a person Who has missed the train, bus or plane. To realize The value of one-second: Ask a person Who has survived an accident. Time waits for no one. Treasure every moment you have. You will treasure it even more when you can share it with someone special. To realize the value of a friend or family member : LOSE ONE. Peace, love and prosperity to all! Remember... hold on tight to the ones you love! joe (rbj69

JUST WANTED TO SHARE THIS WITH MY FRIENDS HERE AT RWG Well on Dec. 22nd i finally asked Melissa for here hand in marriage, and she said yes we have been together for about 6 years and we had a little girl together about 2 and 1/2 years ago , a precious gift , at the time we didnt plan it and it just happened and we both decided not to get married just for that reason but now time has gone by and we have grown closer together and i felt it was time to give it a try , hopefully things will be as wonderful as they have always been , time will tell !! i also was wondering what watch u were wearing when it happend to u ? i was wearing my genuine vintage 1680 sub , for one reason , it has stood the test of time and had some bumps in the road but all in all it has held up nicely and keeps on ticking basically im hoping my new found engagement will do the same and we can hold up in time and age gracefully together i cant wait to hear your stories MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!! joe

wow that is the first i have heard of a dealer paying the shipping to , u should write about him on that , so we all use him as well, most of the defective watches i have had to return i had to pay the shipping which imho was not right but hey u got to do what u got to do glad u got it sorted out merry christmas joe

Merry Christmas to u and thanks joe

Merry Christmas and happy holidays to u and all as well joe

aligoat the cut out that u mentioned on the opposite side of your case of the tube side u have is for the screw on the 1570 that u adjust up and down to hold the movment secure in place , it is basically a cut out so when u turn the movement a half turn to uncase or remove the movment from the case and u guys r pretty much right on the diameter merry christmas joe

didnt know he was sick, but now i do, wish u the best as well my old photography teacher, merry christmas joe

for christmas present from me to u , since u have it uncased , send it to me and leave it alone so not to damage your crown and i will install u a brand new tube for christmas i hate hearing those horror stories and it sounds u gave it your best and u tried hard, just email me or pm for details and i should be able to fix that up for u in a jiffy merry christmas joe
