  1. sounds like maybe the watchsmith did something wrong if it was running fine till he fixed the marker , not for sure though

    6538 dials

    i like explorer dial the best , its different and sweeeeeet, or since u love it so much get another whole watch like me with the all gilt and gold hands with the massive brevet as well, turn to page 34 in your book , first watch , read and , enjoy,also raise your hand when u r in my classroom , lmao lmao lmao lmao LOOK WHOS THUMB IS BACK IN ACTION !
  4. tt r not good enough so i would tell him that , unless u put a real gold braclet on them , that is if he is wanting perfection, just my two cents i would tell him vintage subs or watchmaster new style stainless steel sub in the rolex, or gmtII panerai , i would say 27a or 28a or the 199 regatta or the daylight with 7753swiss is the better choices frank muller with the 2892 eta po is a nice choice as well if rolex they need mods to be almost perfect the rest needs less mods done if he is a good friend i wouldnt put him on a two tone unless recommended a real gold bracelet replacement

    very nice pictures , your white balance is a bit bright but it is better than no white balance, hence the yellowing effect lol i just took some yellow pictures lol nice watch as well
  6. u r so wise my friend , lmao
  7. im doing great alan hope u r , and yeah he should be able to fix it up , kenberg if u need some help with something u cant figure out , just ask and i will try my best to help u ok
  8. looks like all u need is a crystal and hand for subdial and the know how to make things fit back together, and u r all set, let us know how it goes kenberg
  9. very cool crystals pitimany that one is not badd , where did u get that one from ?
  10. both my genuine submersibles is like how u show yours in the pictures, the earlier reps were centered and that is why jimmy fu sold so many of his lol now most of the newer ones r pretty equal to the genuine, i know that my new 199 regatta is almost exat thickness as my genuine one which was pretty nice imho
  11. man i just read this too late, i would have noticed that right off the bat to nanug, cause i have spent many nights sleeping with the brevet, lmao , i think my insert looks better than his to lmao lol
  12. still loving my new anniversary submersible , enjoy
  13. definitely flash welding is the best way, but if u dont have a friend that can do it, u may expect to pay quite a bit to get someone to do this type of weld for u, i for one have never done any welding but i do know some welders that do and they get paid pretty darn good , lol i really feel u will be ok with metalset or any other metal strength epoxy(stronger kind) but i cant guarantee it lol
  14. measure your wrist size, and then maybe we could help u
  15. this stuff hardens like steel and u can grind on it and everything , i figure if u can use it to bond metal parts on aircrafts, surely it will hold your arktos and submersible bezel markers in place in order to get the markers out to reglue them i recommend u remove the bezel which is hard to do and then heat the indices till the heat breaks up the existing superglue and then pull them all out and clean them and then take a piece of sandpaper and make some scratch marks on the bottom on the indices and in the bottom of the hole to insure a good bond and then put a dab of this metalset in there and press them down once done with all sit a book on top of the bezel to keep pressure on the markers so they will set and seal good , hope this helps u
  16. this is what i recommend using, and what i am going to use for my submersible, thanks neil i was aware the arktos was like that but i wasnt about the subs, so now i will do mine even though i did a fingernail test on pulling them i think maybe if they get alot of sun they will fall out like u mentioned, but read about this metalset , its good stuff, it hardens like steel and when u sand it, it feels like steel, hope this helps u guys btw this stuff is not tha expensive, a little more than regular epoxy
  17. if u try to remove the bezel when u get your watch for polishing and putting the satin shiney finish on it , u may want to find a tree to throw it at , lmao, thanks for the comments guys
  18. this one will have alot of wrist time , enjoy
  19. wowowwo u will have to take some pics for us with your watches in a field of tulips, very nice thanks guys for your comments
  20. lol, yeah lume the planes so they can get shot down easier, lmao

  22. man i spent more time in my setup and yours is taking better pictures lmao, i will have to get me some of those lights, u wouldnt happen to know if u can pick up another couple pair for that price do u or even a bit more, lol
