Looking good. Still & again

On to the next 5k.

Thanks. She just got her makeup refreshed

My Newman Z (too bad I was not wearing my white Newman for the pic ).

Culture, my friends. It all comes down to the morals (or lack thereof) that get passed down from parent to child within a given culture. Cultures that teach The Golden Rule & uphold the rule of law tend to be more successful & less violent than those that lionize rapsterism (the beat that moves gangsterism) & its concomitant criminality. Compare, for example, Israel, which has the largest number of guns per capita of any nation, but 1 of the lowest rates of (peace-time) gun-related crime; to the US, which has far fewer guns per capita, but far more gun-related violence. And, to take it a step further, democracies tend not attack each other, while autocracies & theocracies often do. I had an enlightening conversation today with a gentleman who emigrated to California from Mexico in 1970. He twice referenced 'his country' [Mexico], which immediately struck me as odd for someone who has been living in the US for over 30 years! When I asked him about this, he said he is 'still Mexican'. This stands in stark contrast to the millions of Asian & European immigrants who come to the US primarily to 'be Americans'. And much the same is occurring with many so-called asylum seekers entering the UK & other parts of the EU. Something has definitely changed & it does not bode well for long-term homogeneity.

And you are basing your conclusions on what...........EU government sources perhaps? In recent years, indigenous Londoners have been exiting the city in droves due to the decreasing quality of life that accompanied increasing numbers of asylum seekers & those habitually on the dole. The next step, the death knell for any city, is when sections of these takers begin to outnumber their well-intentioned (& willfully ignorant) givers & the takers begin to gain political control. Londoners need only look to Detroit to see what that leads to.

You can also set your browser to block cookies, but some sites require them, so it is probably not a good idea to do that on a regular basis.

Officially, this But, for the past couple of weeks, this seems to have gotten the most wrist time

Yes. A few notes - The top of the triangle at 12 is slightly rounded. The outside circumference of the rose is not perfectly round. There are small indents in-between the 'petals' & the lines that separate them. You should be able to draw an imaginary line through the horizontal lines in the (660) 'ft'. You might consider leaving the lume sections blank so they can be 'painted', which will look more accurate.

Looks good, but you might consider using this underline 7928 dial

Ending the work week wearing my Phase II '42

Do you mean my little old Aryan 'Master

Nice, Nanuq. My Phase II '42 has been sporting a jubilee for some time now.

With the usual disclaimer in place (anything is possible with vintage Rolex), I have never seen a (verifiable) genuine 6542 with that dial. '42 service dials looked the same as the originals except for the tritium rating below 6.

Ditto tutima.

As far as the GMT series goes, beginning with the 1675.

Sad to say, but as bad as things are now, this is just a warm-up to Britain's (& the EU's) real problem, which is just around the corner - Islam & sheria law.

Too many eyes were tracking my gilt, so I have switched back to the anonymity of cold, vintage steel

Could be wrong, but this looks like a repaint (of a service dial, which is a common mistake of Asian aftermarket dialers) to me.
