  3. I still have three titanium look hand wind crowns you sold me that have crooked stem bores, how about a refund?
  4. $18,100!
  5. Back to the topic, insane or not, it's only money. Now... about 16 minutes to sniper fire
  6. lesbian Cow pickup lines: ...yeah elsie, come on over, I can touch my nose with my tongue (not that there's anything wrong with that)
  7. Double Red 1665
  8. Jm, Here's the list of gen incorporated into it: crown/tube bracelet 1570 dial hands insert lume pearl T127 I agree with previous posts concerning the appearance of tritium. Some remains white, while some turns tan, yet some turn that gorgeous speckled look that collectors have come to love. The dial and hands of this watch match nicely, while the pearl is an update Check out my triple six. The pearl has aged quite darker than the markers and hands:
  9. Thanks Freddy! The clasp is definitely a '72, properly stamped and appropriately worn. I've had this a long time, and it's origin (to me) was as a gift from a good friend from the gen world. I think the flip-loc may be a replacement, as it appears slightly different from the other gen oyster and heavy oyster pieces I own.
  10. Stephane, Thank you so much. Hearing your words is a true compliment; especially coming from one of this forums most respected. Oh, and as for the gen datewheel... As far as I know, there's only one movement that one of those can connect to
  11. This started out as one of my first vintage MBWs, and while it was very nice, it was far from what I had wanted... I just received it back from the Master, and of course it is beautiful
  12. Just got back from a two week vacation to Cape Cod in beautiful New England. The weather was absolutely gorgeous, with no rain or even a cloud in sight. Of course that meant lots of bikinis, dune buggy's, and boards catching some great curls off the dunes of Wellfleet. I spent days in a row trolling blues in the bayside, and relaxing afterward at an outside bar called the beachcomber I took some wristshots of my 5512 while out fishing; while I wasn't as far North as Nova Scotia, I'm sure the watch felt right at home I'd love to see some fair weather wristshots, post 'em if ya got 'em!

    Yankees

    Glad you had fun Kuba I just got back from New England, where everyone hates the Yankees! (bastages!!!) I'm glad I'm home... I'll have to make sure I get couple tics to the Bronx before they tear down history
  14. A beautiful pair Stephane! I love what has been done to the white 1680. Keep an eye out later on, I hope to post up some pics of my completed white 1680 Cheers JoJo
  15. I just saw this thread now as I'm supposed to be on vacation (haha..sneaking onto the forum still!). RG, you never fail to amaze me with your work, and all I can say after seeing this is WOW! My hat is off to you!
  16. I'd say the one on the right is gen
  17. Sounds like fun, count me in
  18. Thanks for the comparison! IMO, the MBW links are spot on. Match those with a gen clasp and you're all set!
  19. I learned some very valuable lessons with the car I was driving. I had a "somewhat" modified 1994 RX7 R2. This car was fun, and very competitive for the class I was driving in. The brakes were terrific, and the balance absolutely perfect. Throttle steering through a controlled drift felt easy. I can remember one particular race against a VERY fast ACR Viper. I can remember making the mistake of following his line through a turn, only to find him walking away from me upon the exit when I realized my car was not spooled. I trained myself in calculating the earliest apex, with absolute full throttle exits, often drifting to the line. The sequential twin turbo of the RX demanded engine RPM's over 4500 to engage the second turbo, so I learned to return power on as early as possible ...hahaha luckily for me my hobbies are less expensive now
  20. "An early apex is used to maximize the acceleration out onto the following straight" By braking late and clipping an early apex, you could be hammering on the throttle while the other guy is still slowing down ...unless of course you're coming off a significant straight with a following shorter straight; in which case you would like to maintain your straightaway speed until the last possible second, then BRAKE LATE, dive into a late apex and hammer past the roadblocks who slowed down too early
  21. ...although no one can hear you scream (when your A7750 stops working)
  22. ....and if all else fails... TWO FEET IN!!!! I've got lots of experience SCCA on the East Coast: Bridgehampton (one of Gurney's favorite places), Pocono, Limerock, Rockingham I miss it, and I'm still considering getting back into formula Enjoy, brake late, and apex early http://bridgehamptonraceway.com/
  23. I bought many of Davidsen's watches, and never had a problem with any of them.
  24. Did someone say legendary???
