"Strappy" actually inspired me to go and treat myself to a classy new gator strap for my current favorite, my Ziggified 111h. So yesterday I brought out my tools, adjusted the movement (it had been running five minutes fast each day, ever since I bought the watch from a member), polished the case and installed the new Alligator strap. The pictures don't show how classy this combo looks in real life...

I'm a member in a couple of similar places... and earned my first rep...utation over at TRC. Today i find myself spending most of my time here on RWG. I like the vibe of this place and being EU based, I also like the fact that it feels more international than some of the other fora.

That's a sad story.... and it would be even sadder if you retired from modding. Whoever sends you his watch needs to understand that you are not a professional, with 10 years of training on your back nor are the watches you're working on genuine articles with proper factory QC's. To have the expectation that this rep hobby is like buying a rolex at an AD and taking it for service to an AD is childish. You can only try to give it your best and if in any particular case it turns out bad, be ready to make up for it. Nothing more, nothing less. The other modder you referred to very recently explained his relationship to one of his main customers (and friends) and basically said that one of the cornerstones of their "working" relationship was the common understanding that if you comission mods, you have to accept that there's are potential risks involved. I totally agree. You where prepared to make it right, redo the mod, even refund the money. If your customer expects anything more, he's clearly on the wrong path...

I remember the plexi dial idea from a post many moons ago over at TRC. The beauty of

This is so hilarious.... in fact I had this very same though so many times when watching kids with Japanese or Chinese letters tattooed on their bodies... what if the tattoo artist just thought you where a Gaijin Schmock....

Well if I was from mars... Haiti wouldn't be a bad place for a little R&R on earth....

Yep... but maybe we should have a regular "Mythbusters" section.....

Now THAT'S something out of the ordinary!

By the way V... according to your exif data (oops, I peeked), I think you might need to set the white balance on your Sony to "WB Auto". It is probably

That's a beautiful sports chrono. I remember my dad had one of these back in the 70ties. Black dial. I used to grab it from his closet and play with it. Wear it well.

Google is your friend... (sorry Pugwash, for stealing your line )
