Never realized how many times I used the function before it disappeared!! Thank you

How hard is it to make a decent bracelet! We should get TC on this although the demand would never justify the investment.

I don't think Minh would go for $50!

Thanks guys! And that's a pretty recent review!! It did not show up on Google search. Just saved myself some cash!!

Has anyone tried Minh's bracelets ? They are quite pricey - I think it was around $230. http://vintagewatchesmq.com/minhquy/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage.tpl&product_id=834&category_id=88&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=1 Thanks

I think this will be awesome. I believe Jocke did this and had a full pictorial to illustrate how he did it. Found the link http://www.watchwallpapers.com/hte.htm Good luck!

I will try again! Maybe I'm being too careful!

I've read about potential issues with this. I have a gen 78350 bracelet and endlinks. That did not work. CC33 was kind enough to give me a couple of DW endlinks. I was hoping the DW endlinks would do the trick. However, still no fit. It seems as though the bracelet, when connected to the endlinks aren't at the right place. I don't want to mod the bracelet. Is the only option a DW bracelet? Thanks

Thanks. I'm assuming they are all manufactured in the same factory. The main complaint with your is that they don't stick well. The one I linked on eBay seems to hook on. I guess it's worth a $10 try!

My Olloclip got lost in the mail. I'm thinking of buying a cheap $10 3 in 1 lens set from eBay. Anyone have any experience with them?

I would not check-in the watches. I would carry on 3-4 each between you and your wife. You have kids, carry on more. Assuming you each have 2 on the wrist, put the extra 2 in her purse and your extra 2 in your carry-on. So, that's 8 on your person. The gens, for sure. For the balance, I would ship them. Are you shipping furniture or other big items? If yes, just stuff them in there. If not,FedEx.

Thanks guys. I have 2 identical dials (at least they appear to be) here http://www.rwgforum.net/topic/160431-a-tale-of-2-franken-1665-drsds/ Both fitted with gen 1570's. On one, the date is perfectly centered and on this one, well, it's not. I will attempt to overlay images of both dials to see if the date window is off on this one. If it's the dial, it will make my decision on which to keep much easier. I have been wearing this one and the yellow is growing on me. I've found many images of gens with the same color. We'll see... It's about the datewheel now!

I have attached a picture. Thanks for the input!

I've noticed that my datewheel is slightly misaligned to the right on my gen 1570. Is this an easy fix or does it speak to a larger problem? I will try to post some pics later on. Thanks

Thanks guys. I'll try a cheapo. I will use this once in a blue moon! I try not to tamper. I recently picked up a cheap watch so I am just experimenting.

Thanks for the clarification. I had concluded the minute hand was gen - was not sure about the rest.

I spent hours comparing side by side pics of mine with with gens on VFR/TRF and it looks spot-on. My case is a PCG which matches the dial and is period correct for the serial number. I think it's a keeper.

Thanks

Congrats Chicago!

The search function is down. I'm looking for an inexpensive but functional crystal press. There are a bunch for $20 on eBay. Worth it? Thks

Thanks! High praise from the Big Crown master!

Mike, thanks for the pics. You're just making my decision harder!!

That's my thinking right now. I found a thread on TRF where a similar dial had been relumed. I guess in a 50 year span, these things happen!
