If anything, having a shop owned/run by Staff seems more like a bonus than a liability. After all, if you cannot trust Staff to follow through on their promises, who can you trust?
They were supposed to have these a couple of months ago, but I think they were waiting until they received enough orders. Hopefully, whenever they are available, these will have more accurate end link tubes than the 7206s. To avoid problems after the fact, anyone ordering these should specifically ask what springbars the bracelet is made to fit.
Looks good, TeeJay. I know you are not usually after accuracy with your custom designs, but you might search out some of Rolex's wooden dials for inspiration (google or TZ would be good staring points).
I cannot see how you are going to mask off sections of a crystal without burning off the masking material.
The only scheme I can figure that might work would be to take a small, thin sheet of sapphire, sized/shaped to match the underside of the cyclops, AR & then glue it to the underside of the crystal. No idea where to get the sapphire or if a thin sheet can be AR'd though?
Hard to be sure based on the dark pics (which are often a telltale sign of a scam), but it looks aftermarket to me. At least the stamped leaves (coronet looks wrong & never seen the additional coronet at right)
ebay is the only place you might find 1, but they are few & far between. Every once in awhile, someone disassembles & parts-out a Pan & if you are in the right place at the right time, you could get lucky (assuming your pockets are deep enough). But I think you are probably more likely to find an entire 3446, 3646 or 6152 than you are a 618 by itself.
You may be right about that. Another happy RWG customer.
Yes, the global warming craze seems to have cooled off a bit.
Did you get in alot of traveling? I seem to remember you guys had quite an interesting road trip last summer.
