Quite true.

Ditto.

All they'd have to do is put jewels on the extra gears...

Looks good! Just a tip, if you could possibly take it out to natural light & shoot it without a flash, it'd really show it off. Be a great addition to this thread.

Thanks.

Almost enough coin for a gen...

I've seen different measurements at different sites between 42 & 45 mm. What is the true case width, not counting crown or pushers?

There's still fur these days?...

Definitely thinking more & more about it...

Nice.

Sounds like the balance jewel cap is loose.

My girl said she would happily model some, but I've just never gotten around to it. I'll put more effort into actually trying soon.

Good eye--I rounded the edges of the Sub bracelets by hand, link by link, with 400 then 600 grit, then a polishing cloth. Time consuming pain in the ass, but worth it. Might try it on the Daytona links, but because the link sides are highly polished, I'm a bit wary.

The auction win, if I remember correctly? Yes, that was quite nice, but I just can't do the leather band thing yet. My father would love that piece; a true gentleman's time-piece.

Thanks. Yes, I do love it--just came in Saturday. Going to get the Pam box w/ papers soon--prob from Silix.

Date or dinner?

Wonder who the supplier was. You should return & get a pic.

Grazie. I'll probably snag one from Silix along with the IWC box & papers when I pick up the Cousteau.

Panerai Luminor Marina Automatic 051 Rolex Daytona 116520 And last, but not least, my girl's current piece (thinking about getting her a J12, probably the white, full-ceramic with pink diamonds) Rolex Ladies Datejust 179160 Hope you enjoyed. Ciao.

This is what I have it whittled down to, after recent sales. The only thing I might add is an IWC Cousteau on the blue rubber. If it can be wp'ed to at least 6 BARs, I'm probably due for purchase.

If you're speaking of the rep as is, it was available last week. Thus, the link @ the top.

My beliefs are, since it's inception into the arts & aesthetics--because through its color properties alone--gold is "flashier" and the color was & is primarily utilized in jewelery to stand out above other colors; to be more noticeable & to make a "bolder" statement. SS makes a completely different statement than TT, which in turn makes a different statement than full gold. But I was raised in an aesthetic sense to believe that "less is more"; personally, I believe flashy=tacky...just look around at most people. It's best not to display class through overstatement, so as not to look pretentious. To me, wearing full gold is the equivalent of wearing clothing with the name brand stamped on the outside of it--comically--for those who are insecure & feel the need to constantly tell others what label they're wearing; "VERSACE", "RALPH LAUREN", "JUICY"--it just looks in poor taste. That is, one does this in an attempt to prominently display their "status" to others, but it's generally only those without real money that spend so much trying to make it look like they actually have some. I think--for the most part, but not for everyone--these actions show how underdeveloped someone's taste is and how little respect they actually have for money. The irony there is that you'd have more money if you didn't spend it on frivolous things & in such ridiculous ways. Money & taste are certainly not relative, and for the most part I think you'll find that "flash" or "bling", as it were, is considered by most educated people to display lack of taste, rather than the other way around. But then again, there are plenty of people who would say this about anyone with wearing a Rolex on their wrist--regardless of the metal. Everything you wear makes a statement, and some can pull off full gold without looking like they're screaming. But of course, to each his own, and more power to him/her for going with the full gold look if that's your flavor du jour. I just prefer a more toned-down approach; I'm guessing because that's primarily what you see here (and elsewhere) that the general consensus is roughly the same?

Make sure you have the gaskets greased with silicon grease and HAVE IT PRESSURE TESTED!

Are the subdials on these things stickers, are they printed on the dial, or are they separate pieces that were inserted into the dial? Be so easy just to switch this shitty calendar subdial with the 60 second subdial on a Daytona. Same position, same size, same color, same numbering system, same font...
