That's a brilliant idea. None of the TD's would recommend anything. Thank you. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Some how, some way I guess from years of use, the adhesive holding the bezel on failed and I lost the ceramic bezel insert. I've been scouring the TD's and forum for months & months and it seems as though the bezel is consistently in the low $100's. Shot in the dark but would any modder or individual happen to have one ? Need one to fit the BP DSSD. The Deep Sea Blue version. Similar to the one listed on Trusty, item # ROLSD082. Thanks in advance.

Is this still active?? I would love to participate here in Texas.

2 DSSD's & a Deap Sea Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

I keep losing the bezel pearls from my watches. Anyone know of a supplier that has them available without having to buy the whole bezel? I also need multiple Lume colors. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Congrats!! Undoubtedly a fine group of Gents. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hello All, I seemed to have lost 2 pearls from two different watches and I am in search for replacements. One of them is from a DSSD that Glows Blue and another is from a DeapSea Blue that glows Green. I am CONUS but don't mind purchasing from the EU or UK. If anyone has a few on hand at a reasonable price, I wouldn't mind buying a couple of each to have around as spares. Thanks in advance.

What exactly did you do to speed it up a bit? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks to Mr. TheGrail, sporting this beauty today.

Sorry this happened. I absolutely detest thieves. I'm surprised buying and selling hasn't been restricted to Contributing members only. Might be a good idea.

Can't say that I've ever felt that way. I've owned a few Gens over the years and at 33 years old, I still feel a Rep is the best Value. First of all, I wear all of my watches. No matter the experience or situation. I just feel naked without one. If I've forgotten to put it on before I leave the house, I'll turn around and go back. Even if I just drove 10-15 minutes down the road. It's excessive I know, but it's my passion. Secondly, I have bashed a few gens, scratched them, broke the crowns off, etc...... I am clumsy with a watch sometimes. I've paid hundreds, if not thousands in repairs on gens. Thirdly, acquiring a Gen, depending a lot on career movement, either took a few months to save, or trading high priced items like, guns, motorcycles or even a car or two. Living in places like California and Las Vegas enabled me access to a multitude of willing people to buy, sell or trade this way. The upkeep is a nightmare. First of all finding a competent watch smith. Then dealing with a repair that the manufacturer required original sales documents just to provide the part the watch needed proved to be more of a headache. I'm not one to walk into a boutique and buy retail. All of my gens were acquired in the 2nd hand market as stated above. So, my take, and what I'm fully comfortable with is, to hell with Gens. Now, I get to spend a few hundred rather than trading a few thousand dollars worth of items and or cash. And if it breaks, to the garbage you go. More than likely I had it for at least a 3 years and for me, I've never spent more than $300 on a rep anyway. So, $100 a year on a watch to discard, is pinto beans to me. Besides, I like buying from here. The members. I've come across a few great deals and haven't been disappointed yet. Although, some of you are super, uber passionate that I would ignore most details that would drive the others crazy. I love watches. Plain and simple. They are works of art. For me, a beautiful rep is more than enough in both a financial standpoint and a sanity stand point. I understand business and marketing to a degree that is sickening. I have many a fellow colleagues in the accessories industry from Salesmen, account managers, boutique managers and so on. The manufacturing processes are reasonably similar. For the sake of argument at least, minor differences exist. It all boils down to, The Name. How much was spent on advertising and marketing, the availability of super precious metals and stones. (Which in itself is a travesty of how that's going on. Think of diamonds) Workforce salaries, and blah blah blah. It's all about money. In the grand scheme of things, that $10,000 Gen is about 35-65 % markup relative to ACTUAL whole sale cost of materials and processes. Plus, the fact that the piece will never depreciate, because of The Name. Good for them. Gens are fascinating. Absolute unimaginable to think of every detail that went into a piece from conception to birth. Without question, impeccable materials of the highest quality. Designs such as the Tourbillon that boggle the mind. Gens have a following just as loyal as the Reps do. If / When Reps become rarer and more expensive, or harder to come by, I'll then reevaluate my love of Reps and might swing into Gens as also a way of investment. Furthermore, YES!!! Please liquidate your collections. May you find piece of mind in which ever side you choose to stay or venture off to. The End.

Let's give this beauty it's 15 minutes of undivided fame before we start name dropping ourselves and one upping. Absolutely Gorgeous watch!!!
